Hi Ron,
In the plethora of writings on this subject you might have missed the fact that in the year before he sadly died, Tony Rose did exactly that. Re-recording a lot of his finest material on a CD called "Barebones", out of frustration that his own original performances where unavailable.
I find that a very poignant thought.
Hope you can find a copy somewhere, well worth a listen.

Regards Ralphie
