These songs were "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels", "That's a No No," "No Another Time," "Ride, Ride Ride," "Flattery Will Get You Everywhere" and "Our House Is Not a Home (For It's Never Been Loved In)." The remaining four tracks were album cuts that had also previously been issued on studio albums during her time with the Chart label.[2]
