Junked Heart Blues Once A Fool Hurt So Bad It Should Have Been Me
David was not very happy about the release of this CD when it was released in
1991 in Japan. It includes songs that David recorded in 1979 for an album that was never released, and is no way a "Best of"
album. David said that these songs were not what he was standing for in 1991, and therefore he would rather not see them released
at this time.
