The credits for Edward Houser and Joe Lopes refer to the 1997 digitally re-mastered reissue, not the original 1963 recording. This is probably also true for the credits for Niels Høirup and Mo Ström, although this is not explicitly stated in the booklet.

All 3 discs have the same catalogue number as the boxed set.
