Session notes

Columbia ledger sheet information for this session gives the notation "edited version" for both MISTER GARFIELD and STREETS OF LAREDO . Despite assigning new master numbers for this session MISTER GARFIELD appears to be the same as cut on March 11, 1965 except for the absence of a narrative introduction while the single version of STREETS OF LAREDO stll appears to be the same as the March 10, 1965 recording.
