======================
Fortunately, I find most male blues records boring, at least the guitar 
self-accompanied ones. Female, and piano blues I do like.

As has been said most rarities have been reissued. I visit a friend 
occasionally who does have rarities, which he plays to me. Of course, if 
they're jazz I'm usually familiar with them. On the other hand, I play 
him stuff which he's unlikely to have heard of even heard of.

In mitigation, apart from collecting rarities he does appear to also 
have EFRTHJEM!
