==Background==
It was compiled and released by [[Sony Music]] without the band's consent or input. The album was a budget release on Sony's CMG label and was therefore ineligible to chart on the [[UK Albums Chart]]. The album collects the band's seven singles alongside album tracks from their debut album ''[[Onka's Big Moka]]'' and second studio set ''[[Magic Hotel]]''. The album also features tracks that were not present on previous Toploader albums, including "Have & To Hold" and "Hero Underground", both of which were [[b-side]]s to "Time of My Life"<ref name="Amazon B-sides">{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/Time-My-Life-CD-1/dp/B00006AW44/|title=Time of My Life (CD 1): Toploader: Amazon.co.uk: Music|publisher=Amazon|accessdate=2011-06-07}}</ref> and an acoustic version of "Dancing in the Moonlight". Which was previously on an exclusive 4 track Unplugged CD, only sold with [[The Sun (United Kingdom)|The Sun]] [[newspaper]].
