There are a couple of errors in the booklet: the note under track 12 saying "issued as B-side to "I Don't Know Why" should be under track 13, "My Cherie Amour", and the album discography suggests that TMSP 6002, "SONG IN THE KEY OF LIFE" was issued on Tamla Motown, whereas it was in fact the first release on the Motown label in the UK (though it was on Tamla Motown in some other countries that were slow to pick up the new label, e.g. India).
