Jimmy Newman - Future Farmers Of America (Tom T. Hall penned Withdrawn 45 from '69)

Tom T. Hall wrote a great one here, and Newman nails it completely tongue-in-cheek, but it seems that the FFA weren't too enthused, and they made it well known to the powers that be at Decca Records. The release was shelved and all copies were ordered to be scrapped. This is one of the very few times (possibly *THE* only time) that Decca records yanked a release in such a fashion--even going so far as to instruct DJ's who had already received copies to literally destroy them. No joke.

This mega-rare stock copy was repatriated from a Germany-based record seller, so one has to wonder if Decca perhaps cut their losses by shipping the withdrawn stock overseas? It's merely speculation, of course, but it makes for a nice little tidbit to an already great story!
