With a few minor omissions this fifty-track compilation comprises the entire recorded output of the original formation of the duo, Mayte Mateos and Maria Mendiola, made between the years 1977 and 1981 for the RCA-Victor label; their four studio albums Baccara (1977), Light My Fire (1978), Colours (1979), Bad Boys (1981), non-album tracks like 'The Devil Sent You To Lorado'.
Baccara is the debut studio album by Spanish duo Baccara, first released on RCA Victor in Germany in 1977. It contains the European hit singles 'Yes Sir I Can Boogie' and 'Sorry, I'm A Lady'.
The rights to the RCA-Victor back catalogue are currently held by Sony BMG Music Entertainment - the original Baccara album in its entirety remains unreleased on compact disc.
There is an alternative cover for the album from Scandinavia featuring the girls standing with a black background. Some editions of this album feature a limited edition poster. The album was re-released in Germany in 1982 and featured an entirely different picture sleeve.
