Dear Glen,
Following on from the contributions provided Marek, Bob Newman and Robert Calder, here is a listing from my files of the 1961-2 Riverside 'Living Legends' series.
It may not be complete, so please don't shoot the messenger.

All Riverside cattledog numbers are provided, including the the mid-1990s Original Jazz Classics CD series (OJCCD) which pop up on Amazon and similar sites.  
I've included the 1960 Elmer Snowden/Cliff Jackson (which I have) mentioned by Robert Calder, although it was not part of the series under discussion.
There was also an Original Blues Classics CD series from the Fantasy stable:

Robert Calder's Elmer Snowdon/Lonnie Johnson CD comes from that series, as does a fine one by Odetta in my collection.

Here then is the listing.
It is roughly in recording order, but someone else may care sort it into LP and CD Cat. No. order.
