Spain Volume 8 ("Made In Britain") (22.411)
When Belter moved on to volume 8, they reverted to re-titling the
LPs, in this case calling it “Made In Britain”. The cover design is
again completely new, featuring a classic period shot of a scantily clad
model holding a saxophone.
Interestingly, the sides have been swapped as compared to the UK version, so that the LP leads off with “Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday”, and ends with “Something”.
More importantly, there has been a track change. The song "Return of Django", originally placed as track 4 of the UK version, has gone completely. In its stead, but positioned between "Love's Been Good To Me" and "Something" is a brand new track - a version of Crosby, Stills & Nash's "Marrakesh Express". It is not known where this comes from; the only contemporary cover version known to us was on the MFP album, "Big Hits". We hope to confirm whether it is the same recording.
On the cover, there is confusion over these changes, thanks to a mistake in the stated listing. Of course "Return of Django" should have been deleted to make way for "Marrakesh Express", but it is still given as track 4. “Love’s Been Good To Me” has been swapped out instead, by mistake. This is also the case on the front of the LP.
Fictional group names are once again used, as listed below. It seems they were having a bit of fun making up new aliases - here we see debuts from "groups" such as The Nut Cases and The Space Cadets!
Details are as follows. This represents what is on the record, not what is stated on the sleeve!
Side 1
Side 2
"Love's Been Good To Me" is not listed on the cover so has no alias against it. "Return of Django" is incorrectly listed instead, and is credited as being by The Nut Cases.
