Columbia - Latest Updates

Comment by TheDroid:

Added missing composer credits. Rick Springfield and future Little River Band member Beeb Birtles were both members of Zoot. Their version of Eleanor Rigby is an unheralded (outside of Australia) hard rock gem.

Comment by PhilMH:

EMI did not exist as a label for releases to the public before mid-1973. Before that, if an EMI logo appeared in combination with another logo such as Columbia, Parlophone, His Master's Voice, Capitol, Stateside, etc, that just indicated that the label in question was a part of the EMI group, and did not indicate that EMI was a label or part of the label name (though EMI in Australia at least stretched the point by sometimes putting the EMI and Tamla Motown logos together - although the TM logo was designed by one of EMI's UK designers, it was owned by Motown Record Corporation, and not by EMI, and the logo was used in other countries where EMI didn't have the rights to Motown). So, for this one the label is just Columbia. Release date could be late 1968 or early 1969 - Michael DeLooper's listing doesn't give a date for it, but Discogs has December 1968 for SCXO 7891 by Johnny Farnham.

I may be wrong on the release date of this compilation.
I also think that this might be Columbia or EMI / Columbia.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
