I think so Bob, the black magic label issued a load of tailor made ( and other dodgy) stuff in the mid 70s to cash in on the Northern scene at its height. I'm sure Pete Smith will have more detail on this particular one
January 31, 201213 yr Pete wrote a very good article on Black Magic and other British reissue labels. It's on here somewhere.

I'm sure Pete Smith will have more detail on this particular one the clue for me (besides it being a UK only thing) was the specific pounding northern beat that definitely would not be used in music of that era (e.g. disco).
