Just browsing popsike , there seems to be many 'original' pressings of the above, on Mirwood.... Some written by Fred smith, others by Shirlie Matthews ? 

 Which is proper and where does mine fit in ?

 

p.s. I bought mine from a dealer, a couple of yrs back , as OV

This is the same as my copy, and is also the same as the picture of the original shown in Manship's 5th guide.

Same as mine bought from Soul Bowl in 1979 for 50p.

My copy is also the same as yours.

• thank you all

Doesn't the bootleg have the titles in the run outs

The Smith-Relf-Nelson ones are Monarch pressings, the Shirlie Matthews credit is on MGM-pressed copies. Makes sense that the MGM ones are East Coast (so Bloomfield NJ). No idea why the writer credits are different or if there is a time lapse between the two pressings. Both are completely legit originals.

didnt get booted this one did it

 

Why do some state at the bottom "available worldwide" while others don't ?

Appears to depend on which pressing plant. Often wondered why too. Here's 5523

 

 

 

Some say nothing, others Available Worldwide

 

Then there's this one. Available in U.S.A. and Canada ONLY.

We know that isn't the case as it was released U.S.A., Canada, UK, France etc

 

 

Crest view did the same "available for license " on some of there release Lps ? Randall was happy to get a few dollars in for product that was in the can or didn't sell , he must of liked the fact that soussan paid him for music that couldn't sell in the states or Canada, hence the license deals available . I really love this labels output tho. Some text book northern sounds .

One here available out of Todmorden?
