Even the most diligent lawyer would be laughed at and the case would be dismissed in a heartbeat. I could sue for Intellectual property of this idea, however. Which I do.

I know there were quite a few differences with label designs in different countries - some collectors go crazy tracking down the myriad variations. I presume the missing asterisk on the British (?) one was an accidental omission.

From what I can tell in the image above, it says "McCartney except * McCartney-Lennon", and the only asterisk is next to Lady Madonna.

I just looked again. At least on this side of the Atlantic, it looked this this (with the publishing after the name):

  1. Maybe I'm Amazed
  2. Call Me Back Again
  3. Lady Madonna" 
  4. The Long and Winding Road
  5. Live and Let Die
  1. McCartney
  2. McCartney
  3. P. McCartney/J. Lennon
  4. P. McCartney/J. Lennon
  5. McCartney

He reversed the billing (McCartney-Lennon) on Wings Over America back in 1976, and the version of The Long And Winding Road was credited to McCartney only.

Nope. I have an original vinyl which credits it as McCartney/Lennon.

Oh, thanks for that. I had some incorrect info.

No problem. Wings Over America was my first vinyl.
