Just ran across a UK re-issue LP, "Blue Sky Boys," RCA Camden (Mono CDN-5116 (CAL-797), "Product of the Decca Record Company Limited, London, made from a master recording of RCA." No date.
"The Hills of Roane County" is track 1 on side 2.
I would guess that a U. S.-Canada pressing also was made.

I would very much like to know details of the Tennessee Folklore Society article. Pretty please, anyone?
