it not clear enough to read clearly on the added images but my sleeve at the bottom has less text than Lee's image, mine only lists Ganga publishing I think.
Thanks Phil but unfortunately I can't look at the cover as this one has moved on (thankfully) from my house to the second hand record shop. So never mind but it is a bit of an odd set up nevertheless.
Hi Lee, I think An6y66's copy might be the earliest one. The credit for Ganga isn't the music publishing credit, it's the phonographic copyright credit, i.e. the ownership of the recordings (although I would have thought that should be on your copy too - maybe on the cover?), whereas the music publishing credit is covered by "All Songs Copyright Control", meaning that the publishers were unknown at that point. So, by the time your copy was made, the publishers had been determined, i.e. the writers had signed publishing deals for this country, but it is odd that they are not all published by the same company, given that they are group compositions - unless they are all actually written by individual members of the band, and so covered by their existing individual publishing deals.
Could you fill me in on a peculiar publisher problem PhilMH. The label on the copy I uploaded has four publishers listed Castle, SBK, Warner Bros. and Mushroom whereas An6y66's label only lists Ganga (Harrison's company) as the publisher. It seems most releases worldwide list Ganga (a few come under the Warner Bros. banner) but I can't find any like the copy I uploaded. Is the label I uploaded a later re-release? Not so sure about your promo sticker An6y66 but I have seen some like it before so most likely the real deal. By the way this album was an Australian No.1 in 1988.
The Wilbury Bros. were so bad that after a few misguided attempts to produce a decent album they disbanded, all went solo and changed their names in the hope that no one would recognise them as a Wilbury brother. Some of them went on to become quite successful.
