To finish up the work that Jon and Vangelis had done since 1979, Polydor released The Best of Jon and Vangelis in 1984, combining the singles (but not the shorter single edit versions, only the LP cuts) plus some prime album cuts. This time period was truly magical for the two artists. There was minor promotion, with some singles being released (or re-released I should say) in various countries. Of course, the USA branch of Polydor did not promote it at all. There would not be another Jon and Vangelis 12" single again after the one released for this album.
