Notes

Spancel Hill is spelled correctly but at odds with most versions of the song which give it as "Spancil Hill". It was written by Michael Considine but is often credited as Trad., which it is not.
Track B7 is not credited anywhere on the sleeve although it is on the label. To correct this, an addendum note was pasted onto the front of the cover stating "Featuring THE STRANGER track six side one". This is then further corrected by a felt-tip pen turning the six into a 7.

The errors continued because, having put the wrong track number on the sticker on the front, they promptly put the new track on the wrong label, indicating that it was on the B side. So they dispensed with the bottom half of the sticker altogether and tore it roughly in half leaving an uneven bottom line to the sticker. The actual position of the extra track was Track 7, Side One.

Jolly Beggarmen, mandolin, "G" banjo guitar; Des Moore, bass; Eamon Campbell, tenor banjo.

Comments and Reviews


Fokeman 16th Dec 2023		I've now moved the version with only 6 songs on each side without the sticker to a new version. @Gian_paolo your version is the other one. I've moved your images to the other one and put the sleeve up to accompany it without the extra track.



Fokeman 16th Dec 2023		I'm wondering whether to create a new version to note the two different pressings with different number of tracks. Although they have the same title and catalogue number, they are essentially different records given the different number of tracks.



Fokeman 25th Jan 2020		This was a monumental mistake because not only did they not credit the 7th track on the sleeve, they credited the extra track on the label on the B side but actually added to the record on the A side. So there are 7 tracks on the A side but the credit is on the B side!



Gian_paolo ● 19th Jun 2016		My copy has only 6 songs on side 2, no sticker or felt writing. A3 and B2 on runout grooves
