Mudcat is a good place to ask., though they don’t have the longest history of recordings there. My personal example is Big Bad John - I’m still looking for the version with “One hell of a man” which disappeared shortly after “A big, big man” came out. :-) I was 10. I wondered what the hell was wrong with “hell”? :-) <L> Lou Judson Intuitive Audio 415-883-2689 On May 14, 2018, at 12:55 PM, CJB <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Try Mudcat.org - CJB > > On 14/05/2018, History Through the Horn <[log in to unmask]> wrote: >> What is the oldest example of a song you know of, that led to so much >> public disfavor/outrage that it caused the composer revise it, re-copyright >> it, and re-publish it?
