Como also recorded a rendition of the Wihla Hutson-Alfred Burt composition "Some Children See Him" during the sessions, but this was omitted from the finished album, presumably due to space limitations. The track remained unreleased until its inclusion on a 1999 CD compilation of Como Christmas recordings.
