Reissues

The recording sessions were reissued under various titles and leading artists, some even with changed track titles (false composer credits, missing names of bassist and drummer and the recording date). The first rereleases in the 1970s were probably the following on the American TCB label:

• Donald Byrd/Herbie Hancock - Takin' Care of Business (TCB LP 1002)
• Jammin' with Herbie Hancock (TCB LP 1006)

1. "T.C.B. with Herbie" = "Out of This World"
2. "Jammin' with Herbie" = "Curro's"
3. "Rock Your Soul" = "Mr. Lucky Theme"
4. "Herbie's Blues" = "Bird House"
5. "Soul Power" = "Day Dreams"
6. "Cat Call" = "I'm an Old Cowhand"

("It's a Beautiful Evening" is missing.)

Further titles with Hancock starring on the (CD) cover were e.g. Rock Your Soul, Voyager, Jammin' or just Hancock!. Other examples are "Donald Byrd Pepper Adams Quintet featuring Herbie Hancock - Touchstone" or "Herbie Hancock with Donald Byrd/Pepper Adams Quintet".
