Joe,

I don't think those are available now. Only the Riverside jazz recordings has been rleased by FANTASY RECORDS who now owns Riverside I do believe. They did issue ONE (1) of the folk records----THE YOUNG AND WONDERFUL BOB GIBSON---a compilation from a few of the things he did for Riverside. Fantasy also owns Kicking Mule where I recorded my first two LPs in the 70s.

Anyhow, I think DICK GREENHAUS used to be Pat Foster's agent or manager or whatever--in the 1950s. Apparently, it was a less than pleasant experience for Dick. I'd sure love to find a good tape of that old "Gold Rush" LP. The "SWEET BETSY FROM PIKE" was a truly complete varient.
