In her memoir, Australian singer Diana Trask claimed that she had cut "'Til I Get It Right" first but was "immediately covered" by Wynette which resulted in her version never being released as a single. "I was furious – I seemed to come up against Tammy all the time and emerge the loser," she wrote.[2] It was also recorded by Highway 101 and their 1991 album Bing Bang Boom.
