camshaft: yes, i get caught by the medion 7" tablettything's auto-mis-correct bu^W "feature" too, from time to time - and, even more annoyingly, by its auto-mis-correct-after-you've-left-a-completed-word "feature"...
- re tracks 5 & 16 composers-of-record (npi), true composers, etc: bert berns owned bang! (and shout) records, but owed the bank(s) - and some new york bankers were worse than "a right wunch", not too careful about leaving debtors' limbs intact after applying the persuasion. . .
so it's not surprising that he, and others in similar states, strayed over the line of the strictly legal; but adding your own name (and sometimes others', and sometimes pseudonyms of yours) has a long, disreputable history in the music business.
- i don't know whether berns sometimes/hardly ever/never contributed to the compositions and/or their arrangements as recorded for his companies to release: he certainly had sometimes invaluable input in the recording studio on the production side, tightening up the tracks to increase their commercial appeal, as he saw it - not always what van morrison actually wanted, on particular tracks he was laying down - and he certainly affixed his name as (co-)composer to some songs he'd had naught to do with. but what goes onto the published composition gives co-composers - even fictional or fictitious ones - a share of publishing royalties, and "accidental errors" can take decades to sort out (if they ever are), and frequently the involvement of m'learned - and sometimes very expensive - friends, with very thin watches. . .
Thanks ppint, for showing my mistakes! Normally I use the Laptop to put my entries in, but sometimes the other half (The Missus) wants to use it, so I use the Tablet to enter. Trouble is, if you don't think about this, the tablet has a habit of Auto (re) spellling, I May have been tired too.
Anyway, will let the Mod recorrect the typo's..

If you look at the credits on track 5, it is printed as Russell/Sarrell - so it would be the fault of Hallmark or the printers for not typing Farrell (Or Berts/Farrell)! 7
Looked up another CD - look here - and you will see that track 5 is composed by Van Morrison. Also Van Morrison himself wrote track 16. Sure don't help!!!
the title of track 17 is almost certainly "I love you (the smile you smile)", not "i looked you (...)";
the composer credit for track 16 "should" read "bert berns, van morrison" - definitely not "beerns";
the composer credit of track 8 should be "traditional, arranged bert berns" or some accepted abbreviation(s) thereof, and definitely not "trade";
the composer credit for track 5 should be "bert berns, wes farrell", and definitely not "sarrell".
