Notes

Little's last album, later renamed as Victory and Sorrow (first as Bethlehem BCP-6034 - probably LP 1977, USA, and sometimes mentioned as CD 1984 - then at least also 1984 UK Affinity AFF124 Vinyl).
Reissued as Booker Little and Friend in Japan as (distributor name prefix -):
* Columbia-Bethlehem COCY-75744 (CD) (formerly Barnaby-Candid BR-5009, Vinyl?, US?)
* CBS-Bethlehem 22AP-121
* Polydor-Bethlehem MP-2183
* Trio-Bethlehem PAP-23004
* Columbia-Bethlehem YP-7121, 30CY-1440, COCY-7283 (CD), COCY-9040 (CD), COCY-78642 (CD), and COCY-8034(0?) (CD).
All the tracks here apparently are also on Looking Ahead (Affinity CD AFF 753 (1989)) which compiles it with Vee-Jay 1007, Fantastic Frank Strozier - plus.

Nowadays, the common edition has two more tracks (two alternate takes of Looking Ahead mis-titled as Matilde), and sometimes mis-titles the main take of Looking Ahead as Molotone Music.
Finally note that If I Should Lose You is not a Little's original, and that Looking Ahead technically is Cliff Walk.
