| | Yes, RC, I noted the Soul City trademark, it appears on the rear of my Canadian CBS-Epic copy's cover, but not on the labels. |

| | Thank you for your insight to this LP. I found it in a second hand record shop at the end of July. I already had the single from 1977 which I bought new. This is a very soulful, yet very American sounding LP. Sounds even better when the lights are low. I also have on single his 1967 recording of "Tracks Of My Tears", perhaps not as good as the Tamla Motown version we all know and love. |

| | The answer is on the label - (P) 1977 Soul City Records Inc, which was Johnny Rivers' own company, so he owned the recordings and made separate distribution deals for each market. |

| | @RC.... And Warners have a presence here as well... WHAT GIVES HERE? Surely if a company like Warners has a division in each major market, then they should keep their product from going to "outside" labels in those markets. Warners have been in Australia since 1970, and prior to that were represented by Australian Record Company(who concentrated their efforts on CBS after relinquishing the rights to Warners), so surely they shouldn't need to offload a single like Swaying To The Music, or this album either, to a Festival-owned label when they had already established the Big Tree label here with a single by the group, Hot(Angel In Your Arms). Surely they could do that!.... Yes they could and will you PLEASE stop calling me "Shirley"(ha-ha). |

| | The opening two cuts on this album form the 45rpm single with track A2 on the A-side of the single. It was issued on Warner's Big Tree label(I'll have to find my copy to confirm the Cat.#), with that said, why is this on Polydor in the "Yook" when Warner clearly has a presence there? |
