Producers: track 1 was taped by Bob Molyneux. Tracks 2 and 3 were produced by Percy F. Phillips. Tracks 4-24 were self-produced.
Composers: all probably Lennon-McCartney except 1 by Cazden-Donegan; 2 by Allison-Holly-Petty; 3 by McCartney-Harrison; 4 by Ruby-Green-Stept; 5 by Perkins; 11 by Charles; 14 by Fisher-Raskin-Hill; 17 by Lockhart-Seitz; 20 by Hazlewood-Eddy/Casey; and 21 and 22 by Schroeder-Gold. Song titles followed by a (?) are best guesses, usually based on the lyrics; although the title of 23 comes from a comment captured at the end of an instrumental performance.
Photos: the cover photo was taken by Geoff Rhind the same day that track 1 was recorded, during the Quarry Men's afternoon set.
