I'm thinkin of buying the Revenant set but it appears to be sold out at all stores.
But still available at the Revenant site. Anybody knows more on this?

Always keep your hat on. You know back in those days there was quite a lot of jealous guys in the audience and sometimes you have to run. But, If you got your hat on your head and you have to run, you know you left the house with it - Mississippi John Hurt giving advice to Archie Edwards

I was going to mention that in my last post. I don't know the current state of CEDAR and those who use it, but some of the early Roots N Blues issues using it were dreadful (such as "The Definitive Blind Willie McTell"). NoNoise always struck me as a bit better. Milestone's Blind Lemon Jefferson used NoNoise, and it isn't dreadful (though the noise reduction is too much for me). It's a good pick for those who want the noise fully squeezed out of their lemon. I'm not aware of anyone who has fully applied noise reduction to Patton. I'm thinkin of buying the Revenant set but it appears to be sold out at all stores. You might contact Revenant directly via the link on their home page. http://www.revenantrecords.com/index.php?section=contact What I've heard over the past several years about Revenant is sketchy at best. Hi all,
I've heard that the various versions of Charlie Patton's recordings that have been marketed commercially, in addition to having sound qualities of different types and being mastered using different processes, contain some excellent music. All best, Johnm Hi all, Details, details... Reminds me of something akin to what Yogi Berra once said... I'm thinkin of buying the Revenant set but it appears to be sold out at all stores. I did ask Revenant about the Patton set. Now a month later I never got an answer back. Hi Harry:
Well, at least you tried. From what I've heard over the years (mostly via the Yahoo Fahey group), Revenant is in disarray. Occasionally a detail or two would surface, but nothing that shed any light on the real state of affairs. misterjones
I may have noted that the JSP seems to be a copy of the Revenant set and a lot cheaper (though not as "deluxe"). A Patton bio - from the Revenant set? - is on line at http://www.paramountshome.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=49&Itemid=57
I took a gamble and just ordered the Patton Box from Revenant records. To my suprise I got an e-mail back the next day stating that my order was accepted and was on it's way to my residence. I got it today in perfect condition. I must say the hype about the Box justified. It's simply extraordinary in every way. The enormous details are almost bizarre.
So Revenant still has a few copies for a reasonable price (150). Prices at Amazon are much higher right now. Anyone knows if this 180 gr. reissue is by Yazoo?
http://www.soundstagedirect.com/charley-patton-founder-of-the-delta-blues-180-gram-vinyl-records.shtml The product code has "YAZ" in it, but I don't know for a fact that the disc is from Yazoo. Hmm...
Nothing on the Yazoo site that I could see, but it looks like it's a re-issue of the Yazoo set--perhaps not by Yazoo, but by a company that focuses on vinyl re-issues.

I previously looked for indications of the source material for these (and other similar records) and found none. If vinyl re-issues are sourced from CDs, I don't see the point.
