Update: I hadn't had a chance to see a paper copy of the Herald til now. Of course I'm always gratified when our paper of record takes up more than half three-quarters of the front page with a c.1987 picture of Bob Dylan, but I can't help wondering if this download was really the story of greatest domestic and/or global import today. Colour me .... puzzled.
The Mississippi track is also available at the SMH and Amazon and who knows where else besides, so they're really putting it out there.
Note to Herald subbies: it is not "long-lost." It was recorded in 1997! And at no point in the intervening 11 years was it "lost." Turn up an unheard Robert Johnson track and you can call it "long-lost." Turn up Bob singing "Love is Just a Four Letter Word" from 1967 and I'll let it pass.
it's nice they got Richard Jinman to write an original blurb for it though, although there are some weird lines in it.

I have to stop collecting crud like that, but I probably wouldn't have been able to help myself.
