Question about Did She Mention My Name/Back Here On Earth

The album I ordered off half.com said there were 24 songs on it, #24 being "Spin, Spin". But the one that arrived has only 23 songs. But I'm not complainin' though. I was just wondering.
Also, is the spelling of "Wherefore And Why" accidental or intentional? On the back, they spelled it as "Wherefor And Why". Sounds like something I'd do.

You should complain; they sent you the wrong one (or they used deceptive advertising). You have the BGO release; the Bear Family Records release has the bonus track, the NY version of Spin, Spin.

I recommend that you ask messrs have.com for a replacement Dunkin'. My copy of this definitely has all 24 tracks as listed
But the one that arrived has only 23 songs.
So which one was missing... Spin Spin??
That is the "New York" remake version the other version the "Nashville" is included on the companion Bear Family Sunday Concert CD
Which raises another question from me:-
Does anyone out there have a diffinitive explanation of the difference between the two versions. I can never decide which one was on the 1966 Single release(the very first Lightfoot song I heard on Montreal radio back then.
Also, is the spelling of "Wherefore And Why" accidental or intentional? On the back, they spelled it as "Wherefor And Why". Sounds like something I'd do.
Excellent and obviously most relevant question Douglas. It was by the look of it an original typo on the original vinyl (both the disc label and album sleeve have the final "e" omitted yet by the time the matching words and music book was published it was corrected. Presumably the proof reader at Bear being most likely German speaking did not notice this and perpetrated the error on the CD insert artwork

Actually, it was a bit cheaper than the other sellers. I don't think they knew. Oh well, I've listened a sample of "Spin Spin" and to be honest, I wasn't set on having it. So, no problems here.
