The original UK release was initially intended as Island ILP 914 for 1964 but, for some reason, was not realised and thus only released in Jamaica on the Treasure Isle label. This is therefore the first official UK release.

The track list for side A on cover back is misaligned between tracks and artists ('SIDE 1' mistakenly appears a second time as the first track and thus shifts the list by one line).

There are some errors in and variations between the artists/tracklist on the cover and the labels:
• On cover front, the tracks B4 to B6 are in the wrong order, but appear correctly on the back cover and the label.
• A5 appears as Strong Man Sampson [front], Strongman Sampson on cover, but as Strongman Samson on label, and is incorrectly credited to Babba Brooks.
• B2 is incorrectly credited to Babba Brooks.
• B3 appears as Yeah Yeah Baby [front], Yeah, Yeah, Baby on cover, but as Yeah, Yeah Baby on label.
• B4 is incorrectly credited to The Skatalite Band.

Made in England

Very similar to The Birth Of Ska, but with completely different runouts.
