Other discographies note that alternate takes from this session were released as MGM SE-4825 "Sammy Davis, Jr. and Count Basie" in 1973. This is correct, but many of the vocals for that album were re-recorded in 1973. The takes for which Sammy recorded new vocals have been listed under a session in 1973.

According to the liner notes for the 1993 Angel CD reissue, the recording date for this album was 16th November. However, Michel Ruppli's more recent Capitol discography lists the dates used here. It could be that the November date featured the outstanding songs that did not feature Davis.

While recording the cast album for "Golden Boy" over this and the following session, Davis was suffering from severe laryngitis. His voice was hoarse and husky and he could barely hit any of the notes, but the recording session went ahead regardless. Capitol later re-released the album in 1965 using newly-recorded versions of 4 songs with Davis in (slightly) better voice. (See session dated 1st April, 1965).
