The primary edition of ''Good Pages'' mainly comprises the songs which appeared on two studio albums: ''Danzetsu'' and its follow-up ''Yosui Two: Sentimental'', which came out before he made a breakthrough with his 1973 effort ''Kori no Sekai''. This compilation also includes hit singles such as "Yamiyo no Kuni kara", and "Yume no Naka e" along with its flip side "Itsunomanika Shoujo wa". It was initially issued on vinyl only and remained 45 weeks on the Japanese Oricon charts, spending 3 consecutive weeks at number-one.
In October 1975, an audio cassette version entitled ''Best Pages'' came out. The contents were different from the original edition, and the order of the track list was chronological.
