Notes
(1) also on the compilations "The Best Of Alphonso Johnson" (LP released in 1980) and "The Alphonso Johnson Collection" (CD released in 2000)
(2) on the CD, this is credited to Brian Melvin and Rick Smith. It's a very different arrangement, but to my ears it's recognisable derived from the Alphonso Johnson tune
