It gathers the Warner Bros. singles, with fresh recordings of Carolina in My Mind and Something in the Way She Moves and a live Steamroller. Carolina was recut in October 1976 at The Sound Factory in Los Angeles, with Asher producing, because the Apple original was hard to license. The album peaked at 23, went back into the chart at 15 in August 2012, and has been certified Diamond, eleven times platinum. AllMusic noted that it left off Mockingbird and Long Ago and Far Away.
