Talking Woody Guthrie

~ Release by Jack Elliott (see all versions of this release, 5 available)

Annotation

There is a discrepancy compared to the LP for tracks 9 and 10. Tracks 9 and 10 are swapped compared to the original LPs and the Japanese CD issue, this is reflected in the track lengths too so it's not a misprint.

Furthermore track 10 is titled 'Rambling Boys' in the track listing rather than 'Rambling Blues' elsewhere. I think this is a mistake as the PDF (which is indeed included with the download from Qobuz and on the Topic website for download stores that do not support adding a PDF) correctly names it "Blues" as per the original titling, although it still has the slightly different order.

To this extent it's likely a case of intent that it is, indeed, meant to be "Blues'.
