Track B2 is rendered as “Some Day, Sweetheart”.

Track D2: “Baa Baa Little Black Cheep [sic!]” is described as being composed by Bob Laine and Gösta Törner. The correct credits are that this is a well known Swedish children song “Bä, Bä, Vita Lamm” with text and melody by Alice Tegnér. Her text is actually a translation of an English nursery rhyme, “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep”, going back at least to the 18th century.
