Hey Duke,
I cannot verify the accuracy of all these facts but I think they are correct for the most part. Missing Angel was first recorded in 1961 (September I believe) but it was not released in his lifetime).Then, it was cut again in 1962 (November).
Both versions are available on the "Welcome to my World" superset of 15 or 16 Cds. Cheers!

Morning Duke,

I believe that "I'm Glad you're Better" was recorded as a demo in the late 50s.To my knowledge it was never recorded in the studio.Should you wish to hear that version it is part of the "Welcome to My World " package assembled by Bear in Germany.On the other hand, "I'm Getting Better " was recorded in and around 1960 by RCA and it is often included in many collections of songs periodically issued by Sony as well as the Bear colection. Cheers

And One More Time

I believe Jim cut Four Walls only once but Larry remastered it for VoiceMasters so technically it has been "cut" twice I guess with his vocals.

The only version I have ever worked with of "Four Walls" was the one I obtained from his network radio show, which was studio quality, and we overdubbed it. I have not overdubbed the RCA version nor done any remastering of the RCA rendition.
