released here in real stereoAll tracks on Sides Three & Four in Stereo except as noted
Tracks differ from the original UK K-Tel Version
 
This record compilation is virtually a duplication of the 1975 UK K-Tel compilation with a few exceptions as noted. Several tracks released by K-Tel in monaural only are released here in real stereo. This compilation produced for Quality Records, Canada, appears to have been re-compiled by RCA Special Products as opposed to having been simply been remastered from the original K-Tel LP master tapes. The substitution of Perry's 1949 "Ave Maria" in place of "Dear Hearts and Gentle People" is particularly odd when one considers its sequencing between two popular songs wildly out of context.  In addition, versions of "Without a Song" and "Temptation" included here are somewhat less appropriate than those included within the UK release ten years earlier. 
 
All track detail for this 1985 compilation has been provided courtesy of Jean-Claude Ferland, Quebec, Canada, a frequent contributor to the Perry Como Discography & CD Companion throughout its evolution. This  discography is constantly improved by those who generously contribute their time and effort for the benefit of all readers.
