Comments and Reviews


W.B.lbl 13th Oct 2021		Copies that credit Mr. Huskey as on {Image #1196466} are second-pressings.



78-Ron 12th Oct 2021		DJ-copies added



fixbutte 30th Nov 2016		Sides flipped as "A Dear John Letter" was not only a #1 C&W hit (#4 Pop) but also promoted as the top side from the beginning, see adjusted notes (also incorporating musicdoc8's last comment).



musicdoc8 19th Nov 2016		A-side recitation is by Ferlin Husky.
