Čovjek S Tisuću Mana · Josipa Lisac · B. P. Convention Big Band

Antologija Josipe Lisac

℗ Croatia Records

Released on: 2012-02-01

Author: Hurley

Arranger: Ozren Depolo

Composer: Wilkins

Hm, there seem to be no Lisac authoring credits. The labels for the song show an additional one for Depolo = Itren Depolo, a member of the B. P. Convention Big Band - who, btw., are the co-recording artists of the album (and track) - but that credit might as well go for the arrangement.

The Croatian ZAMP shows no according results, neither for the Croatian title nor in the lists of registered works by Depolo, Lisac or Ivica Krajač (who is generally credited on the labels for 'prepjevi', as far as understand meaning '(he) sings', not 'songs' or 'words'.

Another one for [unknown]? Sometimes [undefined] would actually fit better...

Not good enough?

Nema, Krajač is (quoting myself) "generally credited on the labels for 'prepjevi', as far as I understand meaning '(he) sings', not 'songs' or 'words'". My ex-wife spontanously said ah, he is the singer - which surely doesn't fit...

Nevertheless, it doesn't seem unlikely to me that Krajač did the translations. There is just no hard enough evidence. But Lisac herself can most likely be excluded. Can't she?

I know nothing of this artist, which is both a blessing and a curse. My findings are pure analysis based on the evidence; on the other hand, I have no context or history outside of what I can find.

I almost always defer to the editors on which adaption/translators absent strong enough evidence to support an "are we sure" (e.g.):

I'd say I'm correct to at least raise the question over 90% of the time, and provide correct info over 50%.

The Discogs entry seems clear enough to me -Lyrics by (Croatian).

Added, thanks!

So, in the end everything as basically supposed.

I reckon crediting Lisac for the lyrics was simply a copy/paste mistake, similar to my typo Idren instead of Ozren Depolo...

I dunno CE. I'm advised "xxx' is just an arranger, producer, etc, all the time by reviewing editors, regardless of what's printed on a label or represented on some source.
