There are discrepancies between the credits printed in the booklet and those printed on the back traycard. Elton Dean is omitted from the booklet credits for tracks 5 and 6, but is listed as playing on these tracks on the traycard (and he is certainly to be heard on the CD). Also Lyn Dobson is credited in the booklet with playing tenor sax and flute, while on the traycard he is credited only with soprano sax.
