Most of thracks on the compilation are taken from three Carpenters Television Specials: First Television Special ("Medley: Superstar/Rainy Days and Mondays" and "Hits Medley '76"), Space Encounters ("Dancing in the Street", "Medley: Close Encounters/Star Wars"), Music, Music, Music ("Without a Song", "I Got Rhythm Medley", "Dizzy Fingers", "You're Just in Love", "Karen/Ella Medley")
Additional tracks are also taken from TV Specials: "Carpenters/Como Medley" is taken from the Perry Como's 1974 Christmas Special[2] and "And When He Smiles" is taken from BBC's In Concert TV Series.
The compilation includes the previously-unreleased songs "The Rainbow Connection" (originally from the Made in America sessions)[3] and "Leave Yesterday Behind" (a ballad that was recorded for a TV movie of the same name),[4] and the Carpenters' versions of "[[California Dreamin'|California DreaminTemplate:'-]]" and "Nowhere Man" from the original demos that got them their first record deal.[5]
Due to the fact that original tapes of severals songs were low quality Richard Carpenter re-recorded several parts of the songs specifically for this compilation.[6][7][4][8][3]
