The Girls of the Golden West ~ The Chronological Classics, Vol. 1 (1933) [2011]
This is the first volume and with this I now have pretty much every commercial recording ever available by them posted here. A good chunk of these tracks I got from Old Homestead Record's LP on them and some transfers of 78 discs of my own. Be forewarned these were not in stellar shape that I prefer for shellac discs, but they sound decent. Like with all of the Chronological Classics, I'm basically only using the covert art and the track list. All tracks have been restored or re-equalized in some way by me.

Anita Carter ~ Appalachian Angel (2004)
Her recordings 1950-1972 & 1996. The only thing that's really left out here in regards to her work as a solo artist is the rare CD she did in the early 90's for the House of Cash label and you can find that on my blog, also. Because I own this set, I am also posting it in FLAC since it was recently deleted from Bear Family's catalogue.
