Oh my. This has to be the largest Rod McKuen's "greatest-hits" package ever assembled. No; it's not that he didn't have them.

But then there are his wonderfully honorable tunes, the ones he authored, such as his beautiful "Jean," "Cycles," and "Rock Gently," and his written collaboration with the late, great Léo Ferré on "About the Time." Oh yes; there are far more than that, and they are all here: all of the collaborative writing credits with Jacques Brel, such as "If You Go Away," "Seasons in the Sun," and "Amsterdam."
