Produced by Ernst Mikael Jørgensen and Roger Semon / Remixed and Mastered by Vic Anesini and Sebastian Jeannson.

The master of 'Didja' Ever' used on this set is the spliced master, which has the intro of take 1 spliced with the rest of take 2. The original master, as first released in 1960, and can be found on the CD with the FTD book From Memphis To Hollywood (see here), was just take 2 alone.

Although listed as being take 12, the first (fast) version of 'Frankfort Special' (CD1, track 14) is actually take 13.
