Hi Bunker Hill,Duh, fool that I am! Re-reading your message I obviously read what I wanted to read. :( Still, let's call it giving Stefan another plug for the benefit of newcomers eh?
I know Stefan's John Hurt and Robert Pete discographies, but it's not always possible to tell with some of the releases if the titles on them came from previously recorded material or if they contain new performances recorded expressly for the CD shown. What Stefan did on this thread is tremendous because you can see the beginning and the end of the George Mitchell recordings of Joe Callicott and where the various releases are duplicative, something that is not always clear just from looking at the titles on a CD--have they been released before, or are they new performances?

I split this off into it's own topic, since it seemed to be going in an interesting direction not related to the Furry Lewis and Joe Callicott CD.Yes, in about 1988 or 89 somebody came up with a March 1966 magazine announcement for a forthcoming MJH April two show event at Oberlin. The 1965 year that appears on the original 1971 double LP (and each subsequnt reissue) is since thought to be either a typo on sleeve or in original Vanguard logs.
Bunker Hill, if I understand correctly, the tracks on the Vanguard CD Best of Mississippi John Hurt were in fact recorded 15 April 1966, and not April 1965 as previously claimed (even as recently as the Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings)? And the Oberlin concert that appears on the various non-Vanguard releases was also April 1966, but a different show/set?
