By comparison, the label on cassette KCSP 559 identifies the sides conventionally ('1' and '2'). Compilations In addition to the individual releases, the recordings were re-released together as compilations on the Argo label. The first compilations were released on two pairs of individually cased cassettes: one pair for the Johnny Morris stories, one pair for Willie Rushton's. The Willie Rushton compilation was released again after Decca's acquisition by PolyGram in 1980, this time as a twin boxed set. The recordings were distributed exclusively by EMI, which was somewhat ironic as EMI was Decca's main competitor for several decades. In addition to the 'new' Argo logo, the EMI logo was displayed on the spine of the case sleeve. The sleeve artwork was a heavily cropped portion of the illustration from the earlier compilation. The picture was based on one from the original books, the artist being credited as "Quick on the Draw". Decca was shown as copyright holder; Kaye & Ward Ltd and Third Man Music were no longer mentioned in the sleeve notes First release: The Railway Stories - ARGO - SAY 87/1 - two mono cassettes - (date unknown) Narrator: Johnny Morris Side 1 - The Three Railway Engines Side 2 - Thomas the Tank Engine Side 3 - James the Red Engine: Side 4 - Tank Engine Thomas Again These tapes were marked as 'a Delesé Production.The Railway Stories - ARGO - SAY 29 - two
