On the Charlie Poole LP, let me know if "May I Sleep in Your Barn Tonight Mister" sounds as wowy as my copy does.
I highly recommend the Willie Nelson Demo Session LP on Sugar Hill. These consist of demos Willie recorded for other artists (including the original recording of "Crazy" that was played for Patsy Cline). Nice, complete inner liner notes as well.
Another great piece is a 45 EP of 4 instrumentals recorded by Chet Atkins between 1957 and 1960. Three of the four tracks were previously unissued. The other is "Blackjack," which is only found on an obscure RCA Camden LP, which I don't even have (and I consider myself an Atkins completist). My friend John Sellards did the design of the EP picture cover, in the style of what RCA was doing at the time. They even use a replica of the early '60s RCA label design, although the vinyl is pressed in a brilliant red. I got my copy for $13.95, but copies on eBay have been going as high as $52.00. If you can score this one, it's a nice pickup.
I wasn't able to find the Tompkins Square 78 Joe Bussard recorded, but that should turn up fairly easily in the next few weeks.
