Real Gone Music label included the album in the 2012 The Complete Epic Recordings box set.[2] Bear Family included also the album in the 2010 The Last Time Around box set.[3]
Background
Ricky Nelson wrote two songs himself that may have been inspired by his wife: "It's Another Day", about a deteriorating love affair, and "Something You Can't Buy", a song returning him to his rockabilly roots.[4][5] Larden arranged the songs for the album and wrote "One X One" and "Wings."[5]
