Julius Lester came in with a music caravan. Bob Dylan was there, Pete Seeger, Theodore Bikel. But what they forgot about was that for about 100 miles around, [they] had some of the best traditional music ever. And we didn't have the consciousness then to pull that together, you know, to pull in those living legends of blues men and women who were right there - Worth Long, organizer for the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, talking about a movement festival in Greenwood, Mississippi in 1960s

That was the very first 78 that blues authority Paul Oliver acquired.

The British Hot Record Society was London based and formed in 1945, members included Albert McCarthy, Max Jones and probably others like Rex Harris or Brian Rust. From memory they did licensing deals for American Decca recordings for release on British Decca.

Jazz organisations are not my subject but the activities of BHRS are probably documented somewhere.
