The album was arranged by Joshua Rifkin and produced by Mark Abramson. Collins' recording of "Albatross" was used in the 1968 film adaptation of The Subject Was Roses. It was one of three self-penned tracks that appeared on the album, the first time that Collins wrote her own material.[5] The collection also features three Leonard Cohen-penned tracks, including "Priests", a composition Cohen never released himself.[citation needed]
In 1969, Wildflowers was certified Gold by the RIAA for sales of over 500,000 copies in the US.[6]
