There is nothing at all of note about this collection; no remixes appear here, with the exception of the single version of "Top of the World." It is a bit odd that several of the biggest hit singles are not included here ("Superstar," "Hurting Each Other," etc.), and a few of the songs here were not singles at all ("This Masquerade," "Baby It's You," "Flat Baroque," and so on).

Produced by Richard Carpenter, Karen Carpenter and Jack Daugherty.
