    A.^ "Run Rudolph Run" was recorded by Joe Camilleri (aka Jo Jo Zep), John Power and studio musicians for a one-off Christmas single.[4] It was performed on Countdown – the Australian national TV pop music series.[5] For this TV performance, Camilleri and Power were joined by Jeff Burstin and John McInerney.[4]
    B.^ Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons disbanded in June 1981, Camilleri recorded Cha and the related singles with Jeff Burstin and Simon Gyllies under the name Jo Jo Zep.[4]
