-A1 "Introduction" is only listed on inner gatefold.

-B4 "Besame Mucho" is misspelled on label as "Beseme Mucho".

-B5 "Can't Help It/Blue Angel" is really "Reminiscing".

-B6 "Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey" is only credited as Written-By "Leiber/Stoller" on label but really Written-By Leiber & Stoller/Richard Penniman.

C2 "Ain't Nothin' Shakin' (Like The Leaves On A Tree)" is credited Written-By "Dallas/Frazier/A. Owen" on label but really is credited as Written-By Eddie Fontaine, Cirino Colacrai, Diane Lampert & John Gluck Jr..

C5 "Falling In Love Again" is credited Written-By "Hollander/Connally" on label but actually Written-By Friedrich Hollaender & Sammy Lerner is a theme for the film "Der Blaue Engel (The Blue Angel)" performed by Marlene Dietrich. Also Published By credits misspelled as "Campbell Connally".

-D5 "Talkin' 'bout You" (Ray Charles song) is really the Chuck Berry song "I'm Talking About You".
