One of the song titles is translated as "Youth of Brilliance." What song could that possibly be? "Bless the Beasts and the Children" maybe?

It's a Japanese edition of the 20th Century Masters. Same track listing, same mixes.

1. Yesterday Once More (1985 remix) (listings will say 1991 remix, but that's wrong)
2. I Need To Be In Love (1990 remix)
3. Please Mr. Postman (1991 remix)
4. Bless The Beasts And Children (1990 remix)
5. This Masquerade (1990 remix)
6. I Just Fall In Love Again
7. I Believe You
8. Top Of The World (1973 version, 1991 remix)
9. Love Is Surrender (1987 remix)
10. Maybe It’s You (1990 remix)
11. Only Yesterday (1991 remix, middle edit)
12. Goodbye To Love (1991 remix)

That Universal Logo just ruins that cover for me, could they get it any larger? It makes you appreciate the A&M logo and how it was used on the Carpenters original albums/artwork.

These seem to be part of several Universal series in Japan.

Just today I ran across a very similar cover for A&M artist Sergio Mendes.

But instead of "Standard Best 1200", Sergio's is a "Premium Twin Best". It's a two disc set with 36 tracks.
