Following on the heels of their single "White Tail Deer" (a mega-hit on both sides of the Atlantic in 1965) Decca released the eponymous album WHITE TAIL DEER in early 1966. Although it was The Tupelos' second LP for the domestic market in the UK, it was marketed as a debut album to the rest of the world. Decca decided to issue the US version for export to the rest of Europe while still pressing it in UK.
     The best way to distinguish the two pressings is to check the catalogue number in the bottom left corner of the album cover. it reads as FV91 = 83-55 for the export version (see illus.): the "=" symbol was a misprint; it should have been a dash.
     On the record itself, the lineup of songs is different on the US/European LP. Decca wanted to ensure that the follow-up hit from the Summer of 1966, the bluesy, proto-metal, "Makes Me Wanna' Be" would be prominently featured as the first cut on the B side.
