Wikipedia has this to say:
The Vogues' Greatest Hits is an LP album by The Vogues, released by
Reprise Records (RS 6371) in 1970, consisting of the group's charted
hits from the Co & Ce and Reprise labels. For this collection, arranger
Ernie Freeman wrote orchestral parts to overdub the original Co & Ce
masters of "You're the One", "Five O'Clock World", and "Magic Town"
since all the Reprise songs were orchestrated.
