It says that the smurfs and houses on the picture on the record-cover is borrowed from "Stor & Liten", a very known swedish toyshop during these years. As you see the price tag on my old garden-playset is from that store.

On this picture both Bully and Schleich-smurfs are shown, also Schleich accessories. This means the stores could get smurfs from both Bully and Schleich during these years, 1978-1979. I actually think it could have been the same in Holland, Germany, etc also.
So I think both companies made smurfs that you could buy in the shops between 1978 and 1979, but in 1979 Bully lost the license, when Schleich got the worldwide license from 1 january 1980??
