Kylie's Non-Stop History 50+1

Kylie's Non-Stop History 50+1 is the first remix album by Australian singer Kylie Minogue. It was initially released on 1 July 1993 in Japan, three months prior to its distribution in United Kingdom through Pete Waterman Entertainment (PWE), whereas Australia made it later in 1994, issued by Mushroom Records. The album contained clips of most of Minogue's songs during her PWL period plus the Techno Rave Remix of "Celebration", which was exclusively released in Japan. All the tracks except "Celebration" (Techno Rave Remix) run into each other, creating a megamix.[1] Peaking at number 59 on Oricon Albums Chart, the album spent 3 weeks charting and has garnered over 13,600 copies in Japan.[2] It also peaked at number 57 the later year in Australia. The cover art was shot by British photographer, Katerina Jebb.

AllMusic     [3]

The album received favorable reviews. Chris True from All Music website praise the album for focus in Kylie's entire songs' catalogue and pointing that if the public "don't want to be bothered looking for all the individual albums, or want to get more of your money's worth for her early work, this is the one."[3]
