Notes
- A ^ Wait for Night was originally released on Chelsea Records in 1976. It was re-released by RCA Records in 1982 and peaked on the Billboard 200 in 1983.[4]
- B ^ Beautiful Feelings was originally recorded in 1978 but was not issued at that time. Mercury Records re-recorded the instrumentation and released it in late 1984 without Springfield's approval.[17] It peaked on the Billboard 200 in 1985.[4][5] In 1980, "Bruce", had been released by Springfield as a non-album single, it became the lead track of the album and was re-issued by Mercury Records by December 1984.[17] The original 1978 recordings were released by Springfield in 2007 as The Early Sound City Sessions.
- C ^ A Greatest Hits compilation was released by Evergreen Records in 1988 as a CD with ten tracks. RCA Records issued a twelve-track compilation of the same name in 1989 as a CD and LP.
