Notes

Produced by Ernst Mikael Jørgensen & Roger Semon / Mixed & Mastered by Sebastian Jeansson & Vic Anesini.

This CD set is the best source for these recording sessions, where everything has been restored, remixed and remastered from scratch. Unfortunately, due to a mistake, the remixed master of 'Shake That Tambourine' (CD1, track 6 & CD2, track 5) used on this set is spliced differently to the original spliced master.

Page 3 of the booklet with this set incorrectly lists 38 takes of 'Shake That Tambourine' (C-2004 to C-2041), even though the session for this song starts at "C-2001" making 41 takes in total. On page 12 it incorrectly shows that the master was spliced from takes 24 and 38 (C-2027 & C-2041) but it should be takes 27 and 41.
