GoofsEdit

• Despite the name being changed, the 2009 DVD's menu and its title card retain the old title.
• Even though the original release was called Sing-Along and Stories, The title cards says "Sing-Along Songs and Stories."
• Some of the 1997 tapes do not have the Video Treasures logo, and start off with the Britt Allcroft logo.
• On the back cover of the 1997 VHS, the description for Bulldog says "Percy is eager to rush out and show off his new coat of paint, but Thomas warns him to slow down," when it should say "Thomas tells Percy about the time Falcon was impatient and nearly paid dearly for it."
• On the DVD, when the Island Song plays, the beginning music is paused briefly, and plays normally afterwards. This problem is fixed in the James Goes Buzz Buzz DVD.
• On the back cover of the DVD it shows "Our Story Stops Are" instead "Our Songs Tracks Are," like the VHS back cover.
• At the end of the DVD Game, Sir Topham Hatt is speaking of Really Useful Places, but that game is not featured in this DVD.
