BLISTER ON THE MOON / BORN ON THE WRONG SIDE OF TIME, 7-inch from Major Minor Records (N-Ireland) 1968. The very first single of THE TASTE in earlier lineup with Eric Kitteringham (bass) and Norman Damery (drums) from Cork, producer Tommy Scott. This is the first press, record number MM560.

BORN ON THE WRONG SIDE OF TOWN / BLISTER ON THE MOON, 7-inch from Major Minor Records (N-Ireland) 1970. This is the second press, record number MM718, which has the label with song title "born on the wrong side of TOWN". Songs on side A/B have been changed and song writer's name "Roy Gallaher". First I thought "TOWN" was just a misprint. The fact was that the record company changed the title by purpose.

Followings are quoted from Melody Maker (British magazine) July 1970 issue:
- Said Rory Gallagher, lead guitarist with the group, who now record for Polydor, "We are most concerned at the release of this record and want to forcibly get the message to all the people and like our music not to be conned into thinking that this is a record by Taste as you know them."
Added the group's manager, "It should be made absolutely clear that, although we have no real objection to Major Minor putting out the single, this is not the Taste as they are today or have been for the past two and a half years." "This record is by the old group led by Rory some three years ago, and is totally unrepresentative of anything the group have done since the present lineup was introduced."
Also it is pointed out that the title, "Born on the wrong side of Town" is in fact incorrect. The number is a very early version of the Rory Gallagher song, "Born on the wrong side of time", which is on the group's first album on the Polydor label.
Francis Bears, Major Minor's press officer, told the MM (Melody Maker), "I would not agree that we were cashing in on the groups presents success." "We had a good record two years ago when nobody wanted heavy music. Now they all do." "The title is given as "Town" because the recording company found this was the way the copyright protection society already had the song listed."
いきなり英語の能書きが長くて恐縮だが、北アイルランドの「メジャー・マイナー・レコード」という会社が1968年に出した、初期のテイスト(ベルファスト出身のジョン・ウィルソン、リチャード・マックラッケンではなく、コーク出身のエリック・キッタリングハム、ノーマン・デイムリーと組んでいた時)のシングル盤。レコード番号MM560のファーストプレスと、1970年に再発売されたレコード番号MM718のセカンドプレスがある。セカンドプレスはA面とB面の曲順を入れ替え、A面のレーベルの曲名が「Born On The Wrong Side Of Town」---「Time」であるべき所が「Town」に、おまけに作曲者名がRory Gallagherから間のrとgを抜いた「Roy Gallaher」になっている。ただの印刷ミスだと最初私は考えていたし、ヨーロッパのコレクター達も同様な意見だったが、英国のメロディー・メイカー紙(1970年7月発行の号)にこのセカンドプレス発売当時の生々しい記事が掲載されていたことを後から知った。記事には、テイストがメンバー交代後にポリドールからリリースしたファーストアルバムにもこの曲は収録され、旧メンバーの時に北アイルランドで録音したシングル盤をメジャー・マイナー社が勝手に再プレスして発売したことに、テイスト側が怒っている様子と、曲の著作権がすでに(ポリドール側によって?)登録済みだったので、曲名を「…Time」から「…Town」に変更するしかなかったのだという、メジャー・マイナー社側の釈明が載っている。

Live In Concert 80, 7-inch from Chrysalis (France) 1980. 6837 616
Actually tracks are from normal live albums: Follow Me from Top Priority and Tattoo'd Lady from Irish Tour '74. 17 French cities are printed on sleeve, so maybe issued for French tour concert souvenir during January to February 1980.
『Live In Concert 80』というタイトルだが、実際の音源は既出のアルバム『Top Priority』『Irish Tour '74』からなので、1980年フランスツアー・コンサート会場での物販用と思われる。
