Background
The album was conceived by Luke Melvin to get the rights to his biggest hits from Apple. It was a cunning plan to take those hits from EMI, and get the royalties into Meet the Eye Records. And all the royalties from the songs from there on would go to his label. Because from there on, he would be completely in control of his hits he chose to go on this album. But the original contract was that after the expiration of his contract with Apple, EMI would keep control of his recordings. But Melvin knew that if he issued them on a Meet the Eye album, he would own the songs he issued. So initially he focused on getting his big hits.
