Dear Marek,
It is there. However, in my email to Steve Voce I stated:

I should have been more careful and checked my own and David Steven's memories with listmate Gerard Beilderman's definitive Chris Barber Discography.
The piano-less Chris Barber Band "the one the public knows" [on Decca] was launched SEVERAL years later. Mea culpa.
Cheers,
Bill.
