The Blind Blake find brings to mind this topic: What important "missing" 78s are there left to find? I know there are unissued sides that would be a "holy grail" like Patton's remaining Vocalions or the Lemon Jefferson Okehs (and there are a couple of unissued Blake titles too), but let's face it, those are probably gone forever. Now that Blake's last two missing ones have turned up, and Son House's Mississippi County Farm/Clarksdale Moan, what's left that was issued (or at least that we're reasonably sure was issued)? Hopefully folks can add to this list.
Willie Brown
Kicking in My Sleep/Window Blues - Pm 13099
Sorry Blues/Grandma Blues (pretty sure I've read this somewhere, but it's not in B&GR)
William Harris
Nothin' Right Blues - Ge 6904 (Papa Charlie Hill Blues by Charlie Hill on other side, whoever that is)
Gonna Get Me a Woman That I Calls My Own - Ge 6677 (B&GR doesn't list who's on the flip)
I'm a Roamin' Gambler/I Was Born in the Country Raised in Town - Ge 6737
in old-time I know of
Rutherford and Foster
Taylor's Quickstep (exists on Supertone)/Sally Johnson - Ge 6913
Dock Roberts
My Old Coon Dog/Smoky Row (exists on Supertone) - Ge 6588
there are a couple of Mangrum and Shriver waltzes that I read somewhere that were unissued by Victor that supposedly exist; I've never heard them but would like to -- Mammoth Cave Waltz and Rose Waltz
At least one Uncle Dave Macon test from 1945 - Prettiest Little Gal/Fame Apart From God's Approval was made and given to someone who sponsored the recording trip; it hasn't been found -- the other tests from that session have been issued.
