[78-L] Total Recall

[Jeff Sultanof]

According to Russ Connor in at least one of the BG discographies he wrote,
the Victor sides were pulled. But as I remember, they'd been out for a time
before Victor did this. So who knows how many copies were actually sold?
This is certainly not a case like "Popcorn Man," which did not even hit
stores before it was pulled. Last I heard, six copies are known to exist.
And Victor destroyed the master to boot.
