Background and release

Their Finest Collection consisted of previously recorded material by The Judds during their career in the 1980s. The album contained songs first produced by Brent Maher.[2] The same year of the album's release, Naomi Judd announced her retirement from the duo after being diagnosed with Hepatitis C. Their final studio album was released the previous year.[3] The album contained a total of 16 tracks, 15 of which had previously been released as singles. Of the singles, 14 of them had been number one hits for the duo. This included "Mama He's Crazy," "Why Not Me," and "Rockin' with the Rhythm of the Rain."[2]

It was released in Australia as both a vinyl LP[2] and a compact disc.[1] It was also released to markets in the Netherlands the same year.[4] In 1993, the album was introduced to the German market.[5] The album charted in one major publication.
