Feel free to ask!

Blues Vintage:
1.  Paramount

2.  Yazoo version is take 2. This is probably the best copy.

3.  Morning Prayer

4.  two sided test pressing discovered 2001 in Wisconsin, purchased by John Tefteller for over $12,000; John Tefteller: "The takes are virtually identical. I cannot discern any difference between the two."

SDVB:
Many thanks. Very helpful.

It is a shame that no one has issued a definitive Tommy Johnson CD of the best takes. And indeed for that matter, a definitive Charley Patton CD of the best takes.

When the Centennial Collection of Robert Johnson recordings came out, I finally felt that at long last I had one CD containing the best takes of his recordings, whereas the best takes of Tommy Johnson and Charley Patton are spread over a considerable number of CDs.

Anyway, thanks once again.

banjochris:
I think with Patton you can't really do better than the two most recent Yazoo releases, the Best of and the Primeval Rags etc. There aren't many titles left after that.

Who's to say we can't make one? Does anyone have any claim to these 100 year old tunes?
