[78-L] Joe Bussard 78

[Thomas Stern]

Just noticed TOMPKINS SQUARE Records has recently released a 10" vinyl 78rpm disc:

TSR 71136
 GUITAR RAG
 SCREWDRIVER SLIDE
  JOE BUSSARD

if you are not aware - Bussard is the source of many rare 78's used in reissues,
issued 78rpm lacquers on his FONOTONE label, notably of JOHN FAHEY (Blind Joe Death, Blind Thomas),

was on an LP  PIEDMONT PLP 13160 
"Jolly Joe (Bussard) and His Jug Band - First New Jug Band In The Traditional Style "
Group includes Joe Bussard, Bob Coltman, Oscar Myers, Jerry Marcum. 

many rare treasures from his collection were released on a CD, originally with
extensive book which I *think* is out of print, but the CD and less extensive
notes is available:
   Down In The Basement: Joe Bussard's Treasure Trove of Vintage 78s 1926-1937 (Jewel Case with 28-page booklet) 
   by Uncle Dave Macon, Rev Gary Davis, Big Bill Broonzy, Stripling Brothers, Kokomo etc. (2003) Audio CD   OLD HAT Records.

Best wishes, Thomas.
