Note: The Song "Do You Love Me (Now That I Can Dance)" on the CD/tape (Not LP) reissue versions is not the 1962 hit single version (2:54). It is some kind of very strange extended disco remix (6:37) version. Also, besides the songs "Shake Sherrie" and "Whole Lotta Woman" the other songs are different from the original 1962 LP release and consist of later hits, etc.
