Seeking bagpipe recordings

Perhaps the bagpipe enthusiasts here can help with something. I'm trying to fill out my collection of favourite tunes and they're proving to be very hard to find. Can any one direct me to currently available cd's of these tunes:

Flowers of the Forest - in piobaireachd style, if possible
The Mist Covered Mountain - in piobaireachd, again
Donal' Blue - (the version used by the 51st Highlanders to signal                   lights out
any really good slow airs or marches that aren't often recorded

Existing cd's seem to be badly promoted. Sites often leave out the song names, giving only type and personnel.

The BBC broadcast an interesting and enjoyable programme about the bagpipes on Radio 4 this morning - it included a rendition of the Flowers of the Forest.
