Drummer Specs Powell is erroneously listed as a pianist on the tray card, while pianist Danny Negri is incorrectly listed as a drummer there as well. Brunak is credited as composer for track 6, though it is a merging of the names Bruno and Janak used by the songwriting collaborators for a time in the 1940s. Instead linked credits as [Uncredited] to each individual is provided. The source for their names is the earlier CD version of this same performance on a Vintage Jazz Classics CD VJC-1005-2, The Legendary V-Disc Masters (1943-1944) Vol. 1. https://www.allmusic.com/album/1944-1945-mw0000147602 Tracks 9 + 10 composer credits come from the Classics CD Red Norvo 1944-1945: https://www.allmusic.com/album/1944-1945-mw0000147602 The CD cover claims: "Rare Sessions 1st Time on CD," but a number of them appeared on the Vintage Jazz Classics CD The Legendary V-Disc Masters (1943-1945) Vol. 1, issued in 1990.
