The tracklist features songs from four albums released by A&M Records between 1968 and 1972, namely: Liza Minnelli (1968), Come Saturday Morning (1969), New Feelin' (1970), and the live album Live at the Olympia in Paris (1972). [1]
The Foursider series was a collection of double LPs from the early 1970s, which compiled catalog tracks from A&M Records' roster of artists. [3] The series had standardized covers, with each artist represented by a distinct color. [3] Minnelli was represented by the color green. All material in the series was compiled and edited by Clare Baren and Richard Burns. [3] Although it was a double album, it was sold at the price of a single LP. [4]
Following its release, it received favorable critical reviews from music critics [1] [5] and appeared on one of Billboard magazine’s charts, Bubbling Under the Top LPs. [6]
Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, the compilation was re-released under different titles and cover art in CD format, including: A&M Gold Series (1991), [7] Master Series (1999), [8] and Millennium Edition (2000). [9] Despite these variations, the tracks and original sequence remained unchanged. The Liza Minnelli Foursider was also released in CD format with its original cover. [10]
