(Boutique is a label subsidiary of Universal/Verve in Germany.)

In addition, several of the albums which Claus Ogerman arranged and conducted for Kai Winding are found in a text list in the booklet under "Selected Discography" in this boxed set.  How Claus Ogerman came to arrange the hit "More" for Kai Winding is also explained in a paragraph within this boxed set's liner notes as this (written by Gene Lees):

"Creed [Taylor] still marvels, all these years later, at Claus's versatility. He recalled the instance of the theme from the Italian documentary film Mondo Cane, which, with a lyric in English, became More.  Several people had recorded it, but nothing much happened. Creed was about to do a recording with Kai Winding.  'I called Claus,' he said, 'and suggested that he double the time.  He whipped it out in nothing flat.  Phil Ramone was the engineer. We did it with the rhythm pattern Claus had laid out and we had a top-ten hit.'"
