The dates come from Tony Drootin. "Miles was at Unique Recording from about February 17 through June 19 with producer Easy Mo Bee."

"High Speed Chase" and "Fantasy" are posthumous tunes (edited in February 1992) using the tpt parts from "Give It Up" (November 24, 1985) and "Let's Fly Away" (November 16, 1985) from the "Rubberband" sessions. According to Easy Mo Bee, "WB [said] we want you to remix these two songs from the vault... We want you to strip away all of the music and rebuild a new song around these two."

Remixes of "Blow" were made by Easy Mo Bee, with additional production by David Shaw and Winston Jones. Peter Daou, Cevin Fisher (additional synth- and perc programming); Karen Pernod, Cathy Brown (additional background voc).

All titles except "Sonya" include samples from non-Davis recordings. For additional information, see the liner notes to Doo-Bop (WB 1-026938-1/2).

According to WB 5572-2, vocals on "Fantasy" are by Easy Mo Bee, and vocals on "Blow" are by J.R and Easy Mo Bee.
