Images Comments and Reviews Alan Ross 17th Apr 2024 This was first released in September 1973, and listed as a 'new' release in the Shetland Times. Fokeman 20th Feb 2019 My suspicions are confirmed. I've found another copy of this with the original black label. Fokeman 4th Jan 2019 An odd looking pressing for this label. Looks like an RCA label to me... I wonder if this is a later repress? Fokeman 27th Dec 2018 My notes from the original EPs.
Presumably it was the printer too who had a problem with how to spell Hurricane by James Scott Skinner.
And again the spelling of the famous Irish fiddler Ed Reavy is surprising by how far removed from the correct spelling of his name we have strayed.
