Track A3 is incorrectly credited to Gershwin Bros. on the front cover, though the label correctly credits George Gershwin and DuBose Heyward.
Track A4 writing is co-credited to "Jerry Raganov". his name is spelled correctly on the label
Track B3 is credited to W. M. Thornton on the label, and "Big Mama" Thornton on the front cover.
