[78-L] Home Recording: 78 dub of Grandpa Jones?

Hello all,

The Library that I work for acquired a collection of home recordings of mostly old-time and early country music a few years back.  One disc, however, had a recording that was obviously either dubbed from radio or a 78.  After consultation with some other folks, I'm pretty certain that it's Grandpa Jones doing "Eight More Miles to Louisville" with Jackie Phelps playing a very Merle Travis-like guitar.  I'd like to see if this was dubbed from King 532.  Anyone got a copy or an mp3?  I can send a digital file of our disc for comparison, although the home recording is very rough. If it is the same recording, I'd also be interested in acquiring a copy of the actual 78.
