The artist credits that appear in the track list on the back of the digipak are in a few cases different from those that appear in the booklet. On the back they are shortened to just the name of the vocalist. Those in the booklet more closely match the artists named on the original releases. The track list above has the artist names as they appear in the booklet.

Tracks 1 to 4, 6, 8 are ℗ 1957.
Tracks 5, 7, 9 to 31 are ℗ 1958.
