The Northlands’ Own: Dominion Records LPS 21006
Halton Hills, ON
Stompin’ Tom Connors: guitar, vocal
Produced by Dr. Tom Connors, 1968This was the second version of Tom’s first album. The first had been issued as The Northlands’ Own Tom Connors (not quite Stompin’ yet!) on Rebel Records. The original producer, John Irvine, butchered it up by trying to add electric bass to the songs himself (although he couldn’t play the instrument!). When Tom regained the rights to the album, the original Rebel recording master couldn’t be found (conviently for Irvine) so Tom had to re-record the entire album again for Dominion. It has since been reissued on Boot, A-C-T and Capitol Records but mistakenly called Northlands Zone. Apparently, Tom wasn’t too happy about it being mis-used.
