The first single, an orchestral cover of Ian Hunter's ballad "Ships," is one of Manilow's better cover versions and easily his most unusual hit single, and many other songs delve into the jazzier realm that Manilow would explore further through the 1980s. This edition features remastered sound and four bonus tracks including three demos.
