I've sent Iain this thread (he's not on the Net) and asked him could he shed some light on this. He explains that he didn't know who'd written the song when he recorded it for 'Just My Cup Of Tea' (in 1991, in the days before the web made research into such matters easy). He'd learned it from someone on the road and liked it, but re-wrote some of the lines. The recording, for a German label, was made during two days in the middle of a busy tour, so he left all the editing and artwork to the label. He thinks that their crediting the song to him in the notes was due to an unfortunate misunderstanding, one he is sorry about, particularly since learning later on that it was Oscar Brand's work. Iain's CD is no longer available, but he's glad this gave him a chance to put the record straight. As kytrad says above, mistakes sometimes happen - and Oscar Brand is a prolific songwriter some of whose songs have acquired 'trad' status, so maybe it wasn't an unavoidable mistake. I can think of several albums with a wrong attribution on them in my collection ...
