In 1975, by which time Nazareth had experienced considerable success with albums and singles, a 'greatest hits' LP was released. This showcased tracks from the band's third album ("Razamanaz") through to their sixth album ("Hair of the Dog"), plus some non-album singles.

As part of the remastering of Nazareth's back-catalogue in the mid-1990s the original album was expanded to encompass the self-titled debut album through to the ninth studio offering, "Expect No Mercy" , whilst retaining the original running-order of the vinyl release.

As part of the same CD-remastering programme "Greatest Hits Volume 2" was released in 1998, on CD only. This covered the later period of the band.
