Notes About This Release
This is Tom’s first album, released in 1967. The only album with a photograph of Tom not wearing a black hat (but the hat is in the picture, can you find it?). It is also only one of the two albums that was released before Tom started using the “Stompin” prefix. The recording used in this pressing was lost, and subsequent releases of “Northland’s Own” on Dominion and Boot used a later recording.

Notes About This Release
This is the second (and last) album Tom released on Rebel. The photo on the cover was taken at a cemetary just south of Sharon, Ontario – the gates of which still appear today much as they did in 1969 when this album was released. This album contains the infamous “Reesor Crossing Tragedy” song – and, like the “Northlands Own” album also released on Rebel, the master recording was lost after this album was released (with re-recordings used for subsequent re-releases of “On Tragedy Trail”).
