[78-L] Seeking a Johnny Horton 78

[soundthink at aol.com]

I have Horton 78s on Cormac, but never have seen this one. If anyone has, please contact Mary Katherine Aldin at mkaldin at aol.com.

Since the attachment?won't go through on 78-L, the record is on the Cormac label out of San Francisco, Catalog# CRS-1133. Titles are "Why in the Dickens Didn't You Milk That Cow" (M-145) b/w "By My Side" (M-159)?Artist credit is to Johnny Horton with Johnny Reeves & the Homesteaders. Contact Mary Katherine for a scan of the label.

A close friend of mine is looking for this rare Johnny Horton 78 (see attached label scan), which is supposed to be from either 1950 or 1951 and is supposed to predate all his known recordings.
The Country Music Hall of Fame doesn't have?a copy, and didn't know it existed until he showed them the?scan, which was made from the label of the one known?copy, which is?owned by someone who says that it's the only one in existence and he wants a million dollars for it (talk about your unlikely scenario!)
Anyhow, if a copy can be found my friend is willing to either buy it (but not for $1M) or else he would be very happy to pay?to have an MP3 of it - he is doing the final Horton box set for Bear Family and really wants to include this if possible.
Please feel free to forward this email around - and ask anyone who might know of its existence to let me know. Also, would someone kindly?post this to the 78-L list??? Many thanks,

Mary Katherine?
