Background
Oingo Boingo had only achieved limited success in Brazil until 1988, when the "live in the studio" double album Boingo Alive brought the band to the top of the charts, with that album's "Stay," "Just Another Day," "Dead Man's Party" and "Not My Slave" becoming major hits during 1989-1990. This led Polygram Records (the Brazilian MCA representative) to release a compilation album for the band, using the title of the band's hit song "Stay," which had also been featured in the Brazilian soap opera Top Model.
Despite the fact that the radio hits in Brazil were the re-recorded versions from Boingo Alive, the LP presented the original studio recordings of all of the songs. When the album was issued on CD, the studio versions of "Just Another Day," "Dead Man's Party" and "Not My Slave" were replaced with the proper hit versions from Boingo Alive. In addition, the Boingo Alive re-recording of "Who Do You Want to Be?" (from 1983's Good for Your Soul) was added to the CD as a bonus track.
