There is a discrepancy in the credits between the outer sleeve and the credits within the box set booklet and the booklet for CD1. Paul Motian is credited as the drummer for tracks marked from session (A1) and Ben Riley for tracks marked as session (A2) in both booklets, but the drummer credits are reversed for the two sessions on the box set outer sleeve. Since Paul Motian is listed as drummer for the January 16, 1970 session in the Blue Note Discography compiled by Michael Cuscuna and Michel Ruppli, the track positions have been revised to use the booklet information, rather than the erroneous outer sleeve.
