The Oldies medley contains Fun, Fun, Fun; The End Of The World; Da Doo Ron Ron (When He Walked Me Home); Deadman's Curve; Johnny Angel; The Night Has A Thousand Eyes; Our Day Will Come; One Fine Day.

Now and Then is the fifth studio album by American music duo The Carpenters. I like many of their hit singles, but this is the only album in their discography that really stands out for me. Apart from the hit singles, it contains the most gorgeous song in their repertoire (the cover of the Leon Russell song This Masquerade), a brilliant instrumental (Heather), and a fascinating 15 minutes medley of oldies presented in the form of a radio show.
