Kevin Walsh1 ● 19th May 2024 |  | Vinyl AlbumBetty Everett - It's In His Kiss (1965) | Did it really take a full year for this to be issued in the UK, given the 1964 publication date on the label, and its 1964 release in the Netherlands?

Kevin Walsh1 ● 19th May 2024 |  | Vinyl AlbumRavi Shankar - Three Ragas (1967) | @robozuc thanks for the info.
That label is World Pacific (not Pacific World).
My puzzlement over the two 1966-67 issues is this: an artist usually has an exclusive contract with one label, or the master of a given work is owned by one company. But in this case World Pacific (owned by Liberty) and Capitol (owned by EMI) were issuing the same material almost simultaneously. I imagine that these old EMI recordings had been offered to Capitol first, as the 1957 Angel release shows. But Shankar then had a steady series of US World Pacific albums, some consisting of older material licensed from EMI, and some newly recorded in L.A.
