Going back to Thomas' original question.  George Buck in New Orleans
owns the rights, masters, and files of World.  His organization could
probably answer the questions you have.  There have been some print
listings of world music library service recordings, first in Record
Research -- but only a list of the profermers for each disc.  I think
there were more detailed lists in the Joyce discography series done in
Florida and I might have some of them at home. The basic early history
of World is covered in my dissertation.
