The US version of the album moved away from the emphasis on David Cassidy's UK music career and featured a different track listing, one that was more reflective of his hits in the USA. Gone were the songs "Daydreamer", "I Write the Songs", "Some Kind Of A Summer", "If I Didn't Care" and "The Last Kiss". These were replaced with updated versions of Cassidy's recordings of "No Bridge I Wouldn't Cross (Young & Gifted Mix)" and The Partridge Family theme "C'mon, Get Happy" plus a new recording of the song "Do You Believe In Magic" which David had also performed in a Christmas television advertisement for the Mervyn's department store. The different versions of this album ensured both were eagerly sought after by fans worldwide.
