Session notes

ORANGE BLOSSOM SPECIAL is the same instrumental track recorded on December 20, 1964 (NCO 80927), with Cash adding a new vocal at this session. Apparaently Cash particularly wanted to use this master in order to retain Boots Randolph's saxophone. WABASH CANNONBALL is the same instrumental track recorded on November 29, 1975, with Cash and the Carter Family adding new vocals at this session. This session was used for a promotional album for the Columbia Special Products Release Destination Victoria Station (VS-150) which was sold only in the Victoria Station resturant chain.
