I wonder if any were lost in the Universal City warehouse fire?

And of course there's the hot and cold running Hank Williams tracks,
where
MGM squeezed endless blood from those turnips from whatever sources,
however badly recorded the originals (and it seems his recordings were
sonically quite a few notches below the best of the same era)....mono,
then
later stereo overdubs including several albums of those done again but
adding a string section....
