I have the new set and, as far as I can tell, it includes everything 
from Rust's version, often in greater detail. There is a lot more, 
including bands that didn't make it into Rust's (e.g. Lang 
Thompson--why?). There are errors, some of which are not of a 
discographical nature, and some things I don't agree with (e.g. Eddy 
Duchin's four versions of "A Cousin In Milwaukee" are still in need of 
sorting out). There are copious pseudonym listings, some running to 20 
pages.

Also included are press reports about recording sessions that have not 
been traced, but could provide future researchers with clues for further 
investigation.

Included is an artists' index and a title (not song), index.
