Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.
Original label incorrectly listed Slinger Francisco (Mighty Sparrow's real name) as composer, but this was corrected on later prints.
Runouts are etched, except runout side B the part '1 08-10326-1B-1' which is stamped. The 'A' after the 'xxx-1-Y' part is an etched, scripted, curly A, signature of lacquer cutter André Leenders.
