- Recorded in Mono. The recording appended "With a Little Bit of Luck (Reprise)" to the end of the song rather than presenting it separately after "I'm an Ordinary Man," where it appeared in the show. The first pressing of the LP listed the title of "I Could Have Danced All Night" as "I Want to Dance All Night," which was the title listed in the New Haven playbill. The booklet with at least one of the CD releases incorrectly gives the recording date as March 24, 1956. March 24 was a Saturday, the production played two performances that day.
