Packaging and title

This is an abridged version of his 1980 album Live in Concert and All of Me / A Double Album, taking only "Release Me" from the Live in Concert disc, omitting only "Spanish Eyes" from the All of Me disc, and adding the 1980 single "It's Not Easy to Live Together" to open the album. The gatefold has been eliminated for this single LP, and the artwork on the cover is similar, merely swapping the Engelbert portraits within the ovals on the front and back.

Release
