Gibb, Slade's performance is available on his Folktrax CD, which you may be able to get through Dick Greenhaus.

Interestingly - very interestingly - Slade's version is about identical to that printed by Davis & Tozer. BTW, the song appears in all three editions of D & T, including the first (1886).
