B ^ Beautiful Feelings was originally recorded in 1978 but was not issued at that time. Mercury Records re-recorded the instrumentation and released it in late 1984 without Springfield's approval.^[22] It peaked on the Billboard 200 in 1985.^[4] In 1980, "Bruce" had been released by Springfield as a non-album single; it became the lead track of the album and was re-issued by Mercury Records by December 1984.^[22] The original 1978 recordings were released by Springfield in 2007 as The Early Sound City Sessions.
C ^ Greatest Hits was released by Evergreen Records in 1988 as a CD with ten tracks. RCA Records issued a twelve-track compilation of the same name in 1989 as a CD and LP.
D ^ Springfield was originally supposed to be released in 1974, however Columbia decided to cancel it after it was complete. It would be released to the public on May 12, 2023.^[23]
