"Three Hours" reportedly contains a number of alternate takes. I have
never confirmed that, but the Rhino Best Of is very good.

There are definitely two different versions of "Hot Little Mama" out there,
and I don't know which one is the "real" one.

Are there any remasterings that fix his out-of-tune guitar?

I understand. I have the feeling that I'd like his music
more if he had tuned his guitar.
