Paramount Blues: Early Morning Blues (Black Swan) is also worth owning for it's four BLJ tracks: Yo Yo Blues, Bootin' Me 'Bout, Empty House Blues and Bed Springs Blues.

doctorpep:
Hello, everyone. I'd like to know if you recommend Blind Lemon's Texas Blues Box set, which also includes early T-Bone and Little Hat Jones, or the 4 cd JSP box set? Apparently, the former has 1 more song than the JSP set.

Did Lemon record 94 or 95 songs?

If anyone owns both of these, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

Thanks so much!

Hi doctor pep,

It looks like the the set from Snapper includes an additional take of Corinna Blues. The JSP set does not include this first take of Corinna, plus it does not include third versions of Got the Blues, and Long Lonesome Blues. The latter two do not look like they're on the Snapper set. All three of these alt. takes are available on Document, DOCD-5625, Too Late, Too Late Vol 11. I have not heard the Snapper release but I would guess that much like JSP it does not involve much actual remastering beyond playing with EQ and is taken from existing material (such as one would find on Document). Though I would be curious to hear from anyone who has done an A/B of the sets. Don't know whether the Snapper documentation includes discographical information. JSP does.

I have the Snapper set in front of me, I was just listening to a Willie Reed song. It has reasonable sound (I haven't heard the JSP, but I doubt there'll be a lot in it on past experience) and a 20-odd page booklet including a discography. At the price you can't go wrong.
