I may be adding to your point here.  I don't know.  Some of Janis' early
Austin (and San Francisco) club recordings were released on the "Janis"
soundtrack in 1975.  I'm sure it is out-of-print now.  Could these be
part of the transfers you worked on?

This thread points out just how much material is out there; in private
and public collections; "hidden" and now out-of-print; known and unknown.
