I picked up a two-CD set at a used record store the other day, two of Judy Henske's Elektra albums. The box says there are other two-disc sets coming from Tim Buckley, David Blue, The Dillards, Fred Neil, The Butterfield Blues Band, Judy collins, Phil Ochs, Tom Paxton, and Tom Rush. I checked with CDNow.com, and they show the two Henske albums for sale - but as two separate CD's. Anybody know the story about these Elektra reissues? I think my double CD's are from Elektra's UK division. I couldn't find anything about them at www.elektra.com. It's good news that Elektra is finally reissuing stuff from their folk catalog. I wonder if they'll reissue The Many Sides of Sandy Paton....


Here are the tracks on the Henske albums. I have to admit that I don't really like most of them, although some are quite interesting.
