Tops on my list was Skokiann by the Bullawayo Sweet Rhythm Band. It took me close to 30 years to finally find it re-issued. Don't Go To Strangers by the Orioles took even longer. The only re-issue was on a Boxed set of everything they ever recorded, which sold for something like $160. All the other collections left out Don't Go To Strangers. Finally, I found an import "Best Of" that has the recording on it. It sounded as sweet as I remember it, when I finally put the CD on to play. The original recording of The Mockingbird by the Four Lads has never been re-issued, but I still have my 45 rpm and a re-recorded version that isn't as good on another "Best Of" collection. Today, I ordered a not yet released CD of the Four Lads which has Harmony Brown on it... another recording I've wanted to hear again for years.

That leaves

Guitar Boogie Shuffle by the Supersonics (later "covered by the Ventures)
Bluebird Over the Mountains by Ersel Hickey
The first Insect Trust album, which HAS been re-issued but is a little pricey for my tastes

I'm sure a couple of ohers will come to mind.

Are there any recordings you've been looking for for years, and haven't found? Or found recently, as I have?
