#3, 4, 6, 7, 11, and 12 were on The Complete Buddy Holly 6-LP boxed set from around 1979 [MCA 6-80000 in the USA; CDMSP 807 in the UK]; #19 was on For The First Time Anywhere in 1983 [MCA 27059]. These have all been deleted although these recordings have not been available since 1979. The deleted versions also have much better sound that the 1979 release; it is unclear why Holly's catalog has been ignored by MCA. #18 (acetate without overdubbed drums) may need to be deleted when an upcoming CD/DVD package on PRISM Records comes out in the fall of 2005.

All of this info can be checked in the free downloads from this site: http://www.chez.com/gvignal/freedownloads.htm.

#22 is a horribly offensive bit of racist trash; I deleted it because I wouldn't distribute it even if someone could prove Holly had some involvement with this track.

Given the 46 years of protracted legal wrangling over his estate there may never be a commercial release of the many fascinating gems he recorded that didn't meet his demanding standards for release.
