What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find?

@thecarpathian I heard it a couple of times on WKLS (96 Rock) in Atlanta back in the 70's. I didn't hear it again until around 15 years ago, when I heard it on KGSR in Austin. So, I'm beginning to think that it was some kind of limited promotional item that only 1970's DJ's would know about. That theory could explain why there is no info on it and why it is so hard to find  

I'm looking for a cover version of "Chest Fever," which was written by and originally performed by The Band. Currently, the best known cover versions of that song were done by Three Dog Night and Widespread Panic. 

@judsauce I found "Hot Smoke & Sassafras" on a compilation CD called "The Psychedelic Sixties," which is on the FUEL label. There are currently used & new copies of it on Amazon now at reasonable prices..

@garebear, I think I remember hearing (and liking) George's version of "It Don't Come Easy;" but, I don't remember how or where I heard it.

Both the Smithereens ("Attack of the Smithereens" or "Covers:) and Bettye LaVette ("Interpretations - The British Rock Songbook") have done excellent versions of that song. The Smithereens cd's are easy to find and reasonably priced; but, the Bettye LaVette CD is out of print; so, that will be a pricier option.. 

@whiteknee , I read Jerry Shirley's autobiography called "Best Seat in the House." It is one of the better rock biographies or autobiographies that I've read. Plus, major style points for the title!

@bbarten Original Capricorn releases on CD from the late 70's tend to be hard to find. However, there's a label in the UK called BGO Records ("Beat Goes On") that have released remastered CD versions of a few albums by former Capricorn artists like: The Dixie Dregs and Sea Level. 

It is easy to get on their email list; and, it's also easy to send them an email with suggested releases. I'm kind of surprised about "Children of the Sun" never getting remastered and re-released. 

@rockysantoro , There a couple of best of John Stewart cd's on Amazon. One is called "Gold" and the other is called "Turning Music Into Gold." Both appear to have most of the songs from "Bombs Away Dream Babies," which was a very good album.

@garebear , a friend of mine confirms that there is a studio ("demo") version of George Harrison performing "It Don't Come Easy." He also confirmed that it was never commercially released; so, finding it on a bootleg (which is what he has) looks like your only option. A record show is probably your best bet for that; so, hopefully there are some shows that are near to where you live. IF you were to travel to a record show, the shows in Austin are the best that I've ever been to.

My friend, who is a massive Beatles fan and collector, said that the general belief is that George initially wrote the song (thus the demo version) and then gifted it to his friend Ringo. From there, they both collaborated on the finished product.  

@ozzy , check out the website for Culture Factory Records. Around 10 years ago they released remastered CD's of the first 4 Rod Stewart solo albums. I have all 4 of them and they sound very good (96 Kz - 24 bit). An extra bonus is that they use a cardboard sleeve to recreate the look and feel of the original vinyl album cover. Some of the other artists included in this series of remastered CD's include Rare Earth, Wishbone Ash and Walter Egan ("Not Shy").

The Walter Egan album comes from the same time period as "Bombs Away Dream Babies" by John Stewart (previously mentioned in this thread by Rocky Santoro), where it seems everything that Lindsey Buckingham & Stevie Nicks touched turned to "gold."
