While the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark celebrated Boney M's 25 year anniversary with comprehensive double albums, BMG UK opted for a one disc release, The Greatest Hits. The album included a new remix of 1976 break-through single "Daddy Cool", which was released as a single and reached the top 50 in the UK. While most of the tracks of this hits package are the original album versions it contains some overdubbed or remixed versions dating from Gold – 20 Super Hits.

In 2002 the compilation was issued in the United States by RCA, now a sub-label of Sony BMG, and in Australia it was released under the name Australia's Greatest Hits.
