having twelve tracks in place of eight. This album compilation is a direct expansion
of Perry's 1953 LP "Supper Club Favorites" with the addition of four songs taken
from his 1952 LP "TV Favorites" and re-titled "Relaxing With Perry Como". 
Three songs from "TV Favorites" were moved to the expanded version of
"Perry Como Sings Broadway Hits" while "I Concentrate On You" was excluded
from re-release until Perry's 1962 RCA Camden album "Make Someone Happy".
