In 2003 these tracks were released on the Williams collection from Collectables Records titled B Sides and Rarities.[3] The album made its first appearance on Billboard magazine's Top LP's chart in the issue dated January 8, 1972, and remained there for five weeks, peaking at number 123,[4] and it entered the UK album chart three months later, on April 29, and reached number 26 there over the course of three weeks.[5] ReceptionBillboard magazine recommended the collection in its review for retailers. "What a bargain...two record set from Williams at a special low price and timed right for the holiday shopper. Super program includes, along with the title tune, top readings of '(They Long to Be) Close to You', 'My Sweet Lord', 'Didn't We', 'Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet' and 'Bridge over Troubled Water'. Certain to prove a top chart item."[1]Track listing
