      The Discomate Double LP "Greatest Hits 24" may be the Japanese version of this compilation - "So Long" "Sitting In The Palmtree" "Tropical Loveland" "Love Isn't Easy" were omitted and "Dancing Queen" "That's Me" "Another Town, Another Train" "I Am Just A Girl"(the latter two were released as singles in 1973 on Philips) were added.
