Lost Jimmy Buffett song (Lost/Existence Unconfirmed)

Repost of my post on reddit

Full Post Title: Jimmy Buffett's We've been taken to the cleaners (and I've already had my shirts done) [Fully Lost/Existence Unconfirmed]

All information in this post comes from this vid




During the production of his 1976 release Havana Daydreamin' it had gone under several changes, these versions had different track listings, alt takes of certain songs as well as original songs that were completely unreleased.



While a majority of these unreleased works from this album have surfaced this one song has eluded jimmy buffett fans for years, with some even claiming that the title was just an alt title for the song. Please take your drunk 15 year old girlfriend home


While this song seems to have been known since the 70's the earliest known reference to the song on the net dates back to this 2017 comment on the Jimmy Buffett news forums


And the saddest part of all this is unless jimmy buffett has copies of his master tapes elsewhere. We might not be able to hear it atleast in better quality as the only other way would be to find one of these early test pressings that haven't been listed on discogs yet as on June 1st 2008 Universal Studios Hollywood had caught fire on the Backlot of the studio, but the incident was swept under the rug until June 11th 2019 when the New York Times made an article about how this fire had reportedly lead to lost around half a million master tapes from thousands of artists. Including jimmy buffett's master tapes.



So, if the master tape for this song did exist it was most likely destroyed in the fire.
