Note: The booklet's discography lists Gene Gilmore as playing piano for the Five Breezes on tracks 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 (see Personnel 'E' in images). This seems an error, because: 1) The Five Breezes tracks are 7 - 14, 2) Dixon-Godrich-Rye does not list a piano credit, & 3) Aurally, I only hear Baby Doo's guitar accompanying. I'm mentioning the booklet's credit here, but am not entering it in the Tracklist.
