Though the album does not contain a quadraphonic remix credit, the extreme 'four-corner' mix style that often leaves one of the rear speakers empty for extended passages matches other CTI/Kudu quad titles credited to Rudy Van Gelder (Deodato's Prelude, Grover Washington Jr.'s Soul Box, George Benson's Body Talk, etc).
