Super J "Santa's Rap Party" is credited on cover (and on label as "Santa Rap"), but does not appear on the vinyl.
On the cover: Track A4 artist (Johnson Products) is incorrectly spelt as "Jonnson Product". Track B3 artist (Willie Wood & Willie Wood Crew) is incorrectly shown as "Woody Wood & The Wood Crew". Track B3 title is incorrectly shown as "Woody Rap".
On the label: Harvey Miller and Lonnie Johnson are incorrectly shown as having produced all tracks. Track A4 is shown as "Johnson Jump".
Labels printed on correct sides. Other copies exist with misprinted labels that show the side A matrix number with the side B tracklist and visa versa.
There is another variation that has a black jacket with white text, but is otherwise identical to this version.
An advertisement in the January 26 edition of Billboard Magazine indicates that this compilation was likely released either before or during the first quarter of 1980.
This issue comes release in a white jacket with black text.
