FORGOT TO REMEMBER TO FORGET
(Kessler-Feathers) - ? - <unissued>
(This
recording was probably destroyed at Holly's request during 1956 when he
thought broadcast of it would violate his Decca contract)
Note : However, the acetate does survive.
It has several deep scratches with run from the center hole to the edge
sot it cannot be played. The scratch damage appears to have been done
with a very large nail.
