I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU (Philips 45 RPM)

The above song was never released on a legitimate l.p. or CD. We are planning it for the Boxed Set.

There was a bootleg from Germany that stole the liner notes I wrote and the track listing; we tracked down the bootlegger and know who he is. We sent him an official cease and desist.
