I believe the Vinton Wight recordings of the D&RGW were issued by the Smithsonian as part of a series of American folkore LP's. they may be available from the Smithsonian as CD's now. I'll try and check.
North Jersey Records had some D&RGW sounds, and I believe others were available. I haven't found many, but I agree, they would be very welcome. There are several cuts on some of the old Mobile Fidelity LPs which include climbing the steep side of Cumbres in the early 1960's.
Happy listening all,
