Notes Album remastered by Jean Pierre Chalbos La Source Mastering. Restored full mono. Cutting by
Benjamin Savignoni Translab.

Album compiled from different sources in the Chaplin archives in order to include as much music as possible: whenever possible from the restored M&E (music and effects) track — occasional sound effects occur, therefore, on certain tracks — but also from the full restored film soundtrack and even from rare, hitherto unrestored recordings, some of which we feared would be unusable. Thankfully, PIAS was able to restore the files in 2022, balancing recordings of varying volume and quality, and meticulously reducing crackling and overbearing hums.

Tracks 7-13 on Side B are from rare undated audio tapes conserved in the Chaplin archives. Track 7 on Side B is possibly the pre-production ballet sequence that Chaplin recorded in 1951, as mentioned in his autobiography and in this booklet.
