This compilation has two pressing errors:
- Side 2, track 6 was pressed with "Rockin' All Night" (already on the first compilation) instead of Valens' last charted record, "Little Girl", as shown on the back cover and record label. This confusion may have come from the "little girl" lyric mentioned several times at the beginning of "Rockin' All Night".
- "Cry, Cry, Cry" and "Now You're Gone" (each side's fifth track) are shown on the cover and record labels in reverse. The former appears on Side 2 and vice versa.
The record's labels and back cover show the title of the compilation as La Bamba.
This was also the last Ritchie Valens album issued on the first-run Del-Fi label, which ceased operations in 1967.
