Addenda regarding
track titles 5-9 & 5-10: Mosaic repeats the spelling of the original 1956 LP release, while CD-reissues, e.g. Count Basie Orchestra - April In Paris, had already replaced it by the correct version "Didn't You?". Vice versa Mosaic altered the (incorrect ?) writing credits from Frank Foster to Count Basie
track 5-16 (Sweetie Cakes), writing credits: other issues, e.g. Count Basie Orchestra - April In Paris and sources, incl. Chris Sheridan in his book "Count Basie: A Bio-Discography" list Ernie Wilkins instead of Count Basie.
tracks 6-8, 6-9 (Midgets): misspelled as Midgits with writing credits (Joe Newman) incorrectly attributed to Count Basie
track 6-14: writing credits (Ernie Wilkins) incorrectly attributed to Count Basie, cf. Chris Sheridan and also Count Basie - Hall Of Fame
track 7-2: writing credits (Reunald Jones) incorrectly attributed to Count Basie, cf. Chris Sheridan and also Count Basie - Hall Of Fame
track 8-6: writing credits (Johnny Mandel) incorrectly attributed to Count Basie, cf. Chris Sheridan and also Count Basie - Hall Of Fame
