Iain T MacPhail is shown as having devised two tunes with nearly the same name:

Tune 9759  Ian and Joan MacKenzie's Strathspey, used in recording 6177 "Ian and Joan McKenzie's Strathspey" (S40), recorded by Kenny Thomson and the Wardlaw Scottish Dance Band

Tune 9913  Iain and Joan MacKenzie's Strathspey, used in recording 5627 "The Celebration Strathspey" (S32) recorded by Iain MacPhail and his Scottish Dance Band

Both have clips;  the initial bars sound very similar, but the lengths are different.  That needs an explanation.  Is each "Ia(i)n" spelt correctly in tunes and dance?

Okay... you confused me a bit here as you misspelled tune 9759 (or someone corrected it in the meantime). The correct tune is "Ian and Joan McKenzie's Strathspey" with the number 9759, as the spelling there is the same as in the dance, and Ian MacPhail is the author again. The other is an obvious spelling mistake. I changed all entries to 9759. I find it not uncommon that a 32 bar tune might be "blown up" and used in a 40 bar set by adding an 8 bar repeat somewhere.
