Tim Hart & Maddy Prior, Folk Songs of Old England Vol.1, LP UK Tepee Records 1969 - ARPS3 Mono 

Tepee makes a first reprint in "mono" of the album already released in 1968, with a simplified cover where the photograph of the two musicians, by Bob Barker, is reproduced on an orange background. One wonders why this operation was done, considering that the original album was put on the market a few months earlier. Perhaps the "first pressing" was already sold out? Perhaps the mistake on the label that had inverted Side 1 and Side 2 needed to be corrected? Perhaps the first pressing did not have sufficient distribution and producer Tony Pike of Tepee relied on Ad-Rhytm Productions?

La Tepee fa una prima ristampa in "mono" del disco già pubblicato nel 1968, con una copertina semplificata dove la fotografia dei due musicisti, opera di Bob Barker, è riprodotta su sfondo arancione. C'è da domandarsi il perché di questa operazione, considerato che il disco originale è stato messo in commercio pochi mesi prima. Forse la "prima stampa" fosse già esaurita? Forse si doveva correggere l'errore sull'etichetta che aveva invertito Lato 1 e Lato 2? Forse la prima stampa non aveva sufficiente distribuzione e il produttore Tony Pike della Tepee si è appoggiato alla Ad-Rhytm Productions?
