Yesterday I learned that some of the early pressings of Hark! The Village Wait had a noticeably different mix of The Lowlands of Holland, with Terry Woods' lead guitar dominating the instrumental passage. Made me wonder if anyone out there has only ever heard it this way. If so, look up the more common variation on YouTube. Meanwhile, for those of you who have yet to hear the earlier mix, here it is...

Unhelpful I know, but I'm sure I've read an interview with Terry where he talks about this, but I can't find it anywhere...

Yeah, if you can recall anything from the interview that would be very helpful. Nothing is really known about this early pressing version. No one seems to know why it was changed, or how many records were pressed with this version. It is impossible to tell from the actual LP which version it will have on it

I really can't identify what it was, I'm afraid but I have a distinctive memory of the interview as Terry also talked about Dr Strangely Strange (which is quite unusual).

This was in print (but I think, online).  Do please let me know if the above mentions Dr SS Smiley

I don't think it does. I skipped ahead to the Steeleye part, but Dr SS aren't mentioned in the fairly detailed precis.

And no light shed on Lowlands of Holland either, alas.
