From the [color=darkblue][url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200229042650/http://heart-music-publishing.ca:80/html/archives.htm]now-offline Heart Music Publishing Group website[/url][/color]: [i]It's Closing Time was a good record for the label, and for Ron as songwriter, though the label's publishing arm (Have A Heart Music) wasn't able to retain any of the publishing rights. However, a power-publisher like A&M's Irving Music with Brian Chater at the helm didn't hurt, as the song was later covered by A&M artist Peter Pringle and released on his Rain Upon The Sea album which was also translated and released in French. (It's Closing Time became Deux étrangers).[/i] [i]Mahonin's release though, found its way to Spain and Portugal, which opened the doors to subsequent releases in other countries thus establishing the label's credentials even further.[/i]
