''B Sides and Rarities'' is a compilation album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released by Collectables Records on May 27, 2003.〔 Although the collection starts out with two 1947 recordings by Kay Thompson and The Williams Brothers, the rest of the material comes from his time at Columbia Records and includes covers of contemporary hits ("Cherish", "If You Could Read My Mind", "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother") as well as lesser-known material from the songwriters of "Can't Get Used to Losing You", "Home Lovin' Man", and "Moon River". One of the rarities included here actually did reach the charts of ''Billboard'' magazine. Released as the B-side of the number 13 hit "Hopeless", Williams's recording of "The Peking Theme (So Little Time)" was included in the 1963 film ''55 Days at Peking'' and reached number 115 during the three weeks that it "bubbled under" the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in June of that year.〔.〕 It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song in early 1964,〔.〕 and Williams was asked and did appear to perform at the Oscar ceremony that April but not to sing that song.〔.〕 Instead he sang his number 100 hit from January, "Charade",〔 as well as the song included in the title of his new album that was soon to be released, ''The Academy Award-Winning "Call Me Irresponsible" and Other Hit Songs from the Movies''.〔 Harve Presnell performed "The Peking Theme" that evening,〔 but the winner was "Call Me Irresponsible".〔 ==Track listing== # "Louisiana Purchase" by Kay Thompson and The Williams Brothers (Irving Berlin) – 2:56 # *first released on 10-inch 78 on April 12, 1948〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kay Thompson Discography )〕 # "Jubilee" by Kay Thompson and The Williams Brothers (Kay Thompson) – 3:17 # *first released on 10-inch 78 on February 9, 1948〔 # "Help Me" (Carole King, Cynthia Weil) – 2:21 # *B-side of "The Wonderful World of the Young" (1962)〔 # "The Peking Theme (So Little Time)" (Dimitri Tiomkin, Paul Francis Webster) – 2:48 # *B-side of "Hopeless" (1963)〔 # "Autumn" (Richard Maltby, Jr., David Shire) – 2:19 # *previously unreleased in the US〔 # "Here's to My Lady" (Rube Bloom, Johnny Mercer) – 2:57 # *first released on the 1991 compilation ''The Great American Composers: Johnny Mercer''〔 # "I'll See You in My Dreams" (Isham Jones, Gus Kahn) – 2:39 # *first released on the 1969 compilation ''Andy and Company''〔 # "Loved One" (Carolyn Leigh, Jack Segal) – 2:49 # *B-side of "Ain't It True" (1965)〔 # "The Many Faces of Love" (Jerome "Doc" Pomus, Mort Shuman) – 2:17 # * B-side of "In the Arms of Love" (1966)〔 # "Ave Maria" (Franz Schubert) – 4:55 # * B-side of "Battle Hymn of the Republic" (1968)〔 # "The Sound of Music" (Oscar Hammerstein II, Richard Rodgers) – 2:25 # *first released on the 1969 2-LP compilation ''The Andy Williams Sound of Music''〔 # "What Am I Living For" (Art Harris, Fred Jay) – 3:06 # *B-side of "A Woman's Way" (1969)〔 # "Cherish" (Terry Kirkman) – 3:40 # *recorded for (but not included on) the 1970 album ''The Andy Williams Show'' # "Whistling Away The Dark" (Henry Mancini, Johnny Mercer) – 3:19 # *B-side of "Home Lovin' Man" (1970)〔 # "Free to Go" (Paul Anka, Bert Kaempfert) – 3:23 # * previously unreleased〔 # "Someone Who Cares" (Alex Harvey) – 3:15 # *first released in 1971 in the UK on ''Love Story'' and in the US on the 2-LP compilation ''The Impossible Dream''〔 # "The Last Time I Saw Her" (Gordon Lightfoot) – 3:25 # *first released in 1971 in the UK on ''Love Story'' and in the US on the 2-LP compilation ''The Impossible Dream''〔 # "Long, Long Time" (Gary White) – 3:37 # *first released in 1971 in the UK on ''Love Story'' and in the US on the 2-LP compilation ''The Impossible Dream''〔 # "If You Could Read My Mind" (Gordon Lightfoot) – 3:52 # * only released on the 1971 UK album ''Love Story''〔 # "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" (Bob Russell, Bobby Scott) – 2:59 # *first released in 1971 in the UK on ''Love Story'' and in the US on the 2-LP compilation ''The Impossible Dream''〔 # "Help Me Make It Through the Night" (Kris Kristofferson) – 2:36 # *first released on the quadraphonic version of the 1971 album ''You've Got a Friend''〔 # "Home For Thee" (Paul T.
