To make up for this.....


To agree to send each of us a box of Smarties is a very generous gesture, much appreciated, John...

Indeed. However, knowing your keen eagle eye for detail, I'm surprised it took Colin to notice the error.

Not seeing any errors, apart from the obvious ones already mentioned, I had to look things up & soon spotted the composer mistake.

The composer mistake was the obvious one to me. I knew GB&K hadn't written it.

I felt I didn’t need to go any further, seeing and knowing we never even had an ep like that in the UK kind of makes everything else irrelevant to me.
It’s just one BIG fail. ;)

Yes, the image of the rear of the sleeve clearly shows it is an Australian release.

From the St. Louis/Spokane CD sleeve:

Probably been pointed out elsewhere, but can you spot any errors there ?

After a quick scan :

++The comma in the "March / April, 1976" heading is unnecessary.

++Disc 1 lists just the city, disc 2 lists city and state.

++It's spelled "Tryin' To Get To You".

++The "incomplete" after "Introductions" of disc one should be in italics, in order to avoid confusion with writers credits. And "Introductions" shouldn't be capitalized anyway, in order to avoid confusion with song title.

++Oh, and that "Buring Love"...
