One compact way to build your library is using Seth Rogovoy's Essential 
Library choices in his Essential Klezmer. He has the cds catagorized into 
styles 
which has certainly got to be helpful to most in your situation of wanting to 
actually build a good library. Many Listers are in this library :-)
Also, check out the Klezmer Shack and cull through the reviews to see what 
might appeal to you this way. And, you'll find interesting choices even at 
cdbaby where you'll find independently produced CDs including Brave Old World's 
latest - as well as (drum roll here...) Lister's cds. Happy hunting!
