Errata:
Songwriters for track 29-8 are printed as Sid Tepper/Ben Weisman but this should be Sid Wayne/Ben Weisman (seems to be printed incorrectly on several editions of the 'Double Trouble' album too).
The release also incorrectly credits track 60-4 to Jorge Del Moral instead of Juan Diaz Del Moral.

Tracklisting and durations as in the accompanying book. There are sometimes slight differences compared to the durations on the individual sleeves (reproductions of the original album sleeves).
The printed durations for tracks 7-11 (2:11), 10-12 (3:30), 36-19 (2:58), 47-1 (2:49), 48-22 (1:57) and 50-2 (2:48) are wrong. Also the durations for tracks 8-5 & 8-6 and those for tracks 8-11 & 8-12 were switched.
