Trivia / Quincy Jones

• Blooper: Early CD pressings of The Dude by Matsushita mistakenly use a rejected custom CD logo that A&M Records considered for their releases on the format. Such copies cover up the mistake by slapping on a black sticker with the industry standard Compact Disc logo. This error is also present on early Matsushita CDs for Joe Jackson's Night and Day, Bryan Adams' Cuts like a Knife, and The Police's Synchronicity (with the error also being present on some CSR Compact Disc pressings of the latter).
• Sequel Gap: Back on the Block marked the end of an eight-year gap since his last studio album, The Dude, owed to Jones spending that time focusing on production and management work. Later albums would only continue to take long periods of time to come out, with Q's Jook Joint releasing six years after Back on the Block, followed by a five-year gap until Basie & Beyond, then a ten-year gap until Q: Soul Bossa Nostra, which has yet to receive a follow-up over a decade later.
