"I Want You Back Again" was originally released by the Zombies as a single in 1965 and in the intervening time has been covered in live performances by Tom Petty, a self-professed fan of the band. [9] "Now I Know I'll Never Get Over You" was originally released by Colin Blunstone on his 2009 solo album The Ghost of You and Me.

Two of the songs also are based on two Argent compositions included in Barbara Thompson's Ghost (1982) album with Rod Argent, both instrumental, "Movin On" and "Little Girl," the latter renamed "Little One."
