The recording date has been given by Columbia as May 6, 1981, but that date has not been confirmed by findings in the vaults. That date is probably the date for the remixing of earlier recordings. On some Columbia releases the date is listed as March 1981.

"Fat Time" is wrongly listed as "Shout" on CBS 51 (I). The title is listed on the tape box as "Miles New Tune."
