Notes edit
- ^ "Green Grass" was quickly withdrawn at the request of the song's publisher to make way for Gary Lewis' recording.[19][20] The single was reissued with the same catalog number (Columbia 4-43624), but with "The Right One" replacing the song in question.[19][20]
- ^ "Walking Heartache in Disguise" did not chart on Hot Country Songs, but peaked at No. 8 on Hot Country Radio Breakouts.[22]
