According to this folkopedia article on Henry Burstow:

"In 1907 Vaughan Williams phonographed two songs from Burstow. Unfortunately these recordings are now lost, but Lucy Broadwood published a full transcription of one, "Bristol Town" (English Traditional Songs and Carols p114-115), which illustrates the traditional singer's ability to adapt a song's tune and phrasing verse by verse." (my bold)

Nick - does this mean that you know that the two recordings have been found?
