Notes
- Three of the songs on this album charted when they were originally released. "Bad Girl" hit #33 in late 1963, "The World Through A Tear" garnered a #76 ranking in mid-1965, and "The Answer To My Prayer" scored a #89 in late 1965-early 1966.
- The songs "Pictures From The Past" and "Your Heart Has Changed Its Mind" were not released at the time they were recorded; this marked the first issuance of these two songs.
- The rest of the songs on the album were B-sides of other bigger Sedaka hits.
- "Waiting For Never" and "Look Inside Your Heart" were English-language versions of Sedaka's Italian-language hits, "La Terza Luna" and "I Tuoi Capricci", both of which enjoyed far greater success in Italy than they ever did in the United States.
- "Bad Girl" also has an Italian-language equivalent, "I Primi Giorni"
- Sedaka actually recorded two songs entitled "Bad Girl". The version heard on this album is the most common version; but there is an earlier version of "Bad Girl" with different lyrics and a faster tempo.
- Sedaka recorded German-language versions of "Pictures From The Past" ("Nur Ein Bild Von Dir"), "Wait Till You See My Baby" ("So Wie Mein Baby") and "The World Through A Tear" ("Die Welt Ohne Dich")
- To promote this album in the Philippines, a 45 rpm reissue of "Blue Boy" b/w "Don't Lead Me On" was released.
