. This album contains songs that were recorded during the first phase of David Cassidy's musical career. All of the songs contained in this collection were recorded between 1970 and 1974 during the time he was starring in The Partridge Family television series. Of the eleven songs contained in this compilation, three songs were taken from Partridge Family albums and the song "If I Didn't Care" had only been released as a single in Europe and was not available in the U.S. prior to this album. Also note that Could It Be Forever was not issued as noted on the album. Instead it was the B-side of that song called Blind Hope. Clearly an error.
