    Thanks for these. I posted Home Spun 102 on my blog, and it's nice to have these to go with it.

    Divshare does allow to download only side 1 of each record. Why?

    Somewhere, Someday I'll Find You Home Spun (CO) 45 - 102 (1955) What year was the RCA Rocky Mountain 78 issued ? Sounds same to me?

      thought the same initially, but when I loaded both into one file, the version issued on HOME SPUN 102 is 8 seconds or so shorter, of course it could have been edited! However, the final few bars feature a steel guitar, on one version it is played like a dobro, whilst the other is just a regular steel fade out. Strangely the Rocky Mountain 78 does not have the usual year denoted in the master number!

    I can't play Home spun 101 as the link = a 2nd link for the Rocky Mountain 78. Thank you for your help.

    The songs on Home Spun are the same as the Rocky Mountain
