Unknown Jet Harris track?

I recently stumbled across this CD. Track 17 surprised me quite a lot:

However, when listening it turned out to be Jet's re-recording of Diamonds with Chris Black & The Blackcats from 1987. I still wonder why and how this name change happened.

PS: The asterix indicates that it is a re-recording with the original artist (like several other tunes from this CD).

I can imagine a conversation between record producer, Mr Harris and ignorant production assistant.

And I'll bet that's not too far from what happened :D

What's the old saying... many a true word is spoken in jest? :)
