My guess is that the attribution is a simple error.

I take it you're talking about the deluxe two disc set?

I still haven't opened mine but it's interesting to read this.
I'll see if I can get to the bottom of this but I suspect it's just some whacky error. :noclue:

Well to be fair Kettle Whistle started off its life as a Psi-Com song and that was most likely a while before Perry and Eric even met.
