It was released in 1989 and comprises recordings of the band from 1977 to 1979 (the albums Pink Flag, Chairs Missing and 154, which are also each represented graphically on the album cover), and is seen as the band's first "best of" album, complemented four years later by 1985–1990: The A List which is the "best of" of the band's second era. The album is named after the band's track "On Returning" which closes the album, originally released on the band's third album 154 (1979).
