Notes

Produced by Ernst Mikael Jørgensen & Roger Semon / Mixed by Vic Anesini / Mastered by Jan Eliasson.

Although slightly edited, this CD set is the best source for these recording sessions, where everything has been restored, remixed and remastered from scratch.

Although it states 'Wolf Call (with the Jordanaires)' (CD1, track 17) on the cover and in the booklet, the additional Chorus backing vocals were actually done by The Jubillee Four. The whistling, which is part of the rhythm track, was all that was done by The Jordanaires on this track.
