Producer and arranger credits preceding original source information are as they appear on original releases.

In order to provide the best listening experience and to best represent the subtleties of the arrangements and productions on these recordings, stereo LP masters have been used whenever possible. In cases where the original single release and the album version differ, the original mono single version was used. Some early releases and tracks that didn't originally appear on LPs only exist in mono and subsequently appear that way on this set.

All musical credits other than writing, arrangement, conduction/direction, production, and ensemble/orchestra credits are taken from the text of the liner notes. Such credits are not a complete list.
