On the Radio: Greatest Hits Volumes I & II , by Donna Summer was her fourth consecutive double album, and also made her the first person ever to take three consecutive double albums to No. 1. This would become Summer's third multi-platinum album. The album spanned Summer's career from her breakthrough, Love to Love You Baby right through to the more rock-influenced tracks of her Bad Girls album. The majority of the tracks were either remixed or edited, largely to fit such a big number of tracks onto two records. Each side, barring side D, runs as a continuous mix. The compilation also contained two brand-new tracks. The first of these was the pop-disco flavored On the Radio (which opened the album, and closed it in a longer version). Written for the film Foxes, this song was reminiscent of some of her other hits in that it started off with a slow beat. The song was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance category. The second new track was a duet with Barbra Streisand entitled No More Tears (Enough Is Enough). It also had a slow beginning but evolved into a disco number. An early example of girl power, the song was released as a 12" Disco single and hit No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 (making it Summer's fourth chart-topper). It was also a big international hit, the shorter version of On the Radio was also released as a single, and became Summer's ninth Top 5 on the Hot 100. On the Radio proved to be Summer's final release with Casablanca Records. She had not been happy for some time with the label's treatment of her - she felt exploited and that she was being made to portray a sexual image with which she was not comfortable. At one point this had driven her to depression and suicide attempts. However by 1979 she had become a born-again Christian and rediscovered herself. She signed a deal with Geffen Records in 1980. The album came with a 24x32 full color poster.
