Traffic "John Barleycorn Must Die" - Why no mfsl


As far as I'm concerned, Traffic never made a better album than "John Barleycorn Must Die" but it was never given "the treatment" by mfsl or dcc. How come? All the rest of Steve Windwoods output made it to mfsl gold disc for the most part.

Don't know...but I have a Japanese Mini-LP pressing of this and it's fantastic. It's part of the Japanese Traffic OBI Box Set.
I've wondered, myself. One of their biggest mistakes. The only thing I can think of is tape didn't meet MFSL standards.
I've never understood some of the crap they DO choose to reissue, but certain titles are not always legally available for re issue by private labels
As good as JBMD might be artistically or sonically, it was simply not popular enough to make the MFSL "list" - they can't make money on something they can't sell many of. Plain and simple.
