release date: 1985
format: vinyl (MdLP 6240) / cd
[album rate: 4 / 5]
producer: Nils Henriksen, Sebastian
label: Medley Records - nationality: Denmark

Compilation album by Sebastian with the alternative title Hodja, Romeo, bohemen og den danske sang - Opsamling 81 - 85. It contains compositions from his albums Stjerne til støv (1981), 80'ernes boheme (1983) and Tusind og en nat (1984), and feature two new tracks.
In 1988 a 2 lp vinyl and 2 disc best of 26 Hits was issued containing all of tvelwe ongs from this with an additional 14 tracks released on K-Tel, which seems like a better collection considering all the fine songs from his extensive discography. Another fine alternative is the EMI-Medley compilation Dejavu from '95 consisting of 19 tracks, or the 2-disc compilation Romeo-serenader on Recart Music from '99 with 36 songs. The best compilation nearly covering the majority of his releases is the 2-disc De største hits from 2009 released by Sony Music.
