| Notes |
|---|
| The label omits "U" from the matrix number on the Chess 1525 release label, but Ruppli - and the Aristocrat AR-711 release label - include it. |
| Ruppli has the Aristocrat catalog number as "711," but the label sports "AR-711." On the Chess release, the talent is listed as "Gene Ammons Orchestra," whereas the Aristocrat label lists the performers individually. |
| Information on this recording derives from "The Chess labels : A discography" / Michel Ruppli (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1983), as well as disc labels examined by DAHR editors. |
| Source(s): disc. |
