Suggestions for Box Sets
« on: January 16, 2007, 08:02:10 AM »
I'm sure that many of us have found the proportion of JSP box sets in our CD collections growing. Therefore, just in case JSP have any spies looking at the board, I think we ought to suggest some future releases for them.

I would definitely buy Barbecue Bob with the fourth CD made up with Charley Lincoln and Willie Baker.
Also a Casey Bill Weldon set is needed, but I'm not sure who to make up the extra disc.

Add George Carter's four sides to the Barbecue Bob set. Some think GC is BB.

All for now.

1. Leroy Carr.  Perennially unavailable on Document.

2. Two disks of the complete prewar Sleepy John Estes, two disks of the complete Yank Rachell, and a disk of Son Bonds and Charlie Pickett.  The Estes stuff is available on Document, but the Rachel and Bonds and Pickett disks, which used to be available on Wolf, are, as far as I know, no longer in print.

3. John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson.

Hi all,
How about a Texas Alexander set (3 CDs) filled out with the complete Gene Campbell?
All best,

Good one, John!  Another artist who's always unavailable when you browse the Document catalog.

Ethical issues aside, I'm always surprised at the stuff JSP hasn't done yet. I'd have thought they have done Bo Carter by now. The Mississippi Sheiks. (I don't need these but am surprised.)

I'd like to see a Ma Rainey set.

If Document is the cocaine of prewar blues fans, JSP is the crack.  ;D

Ironic if one considers that Johnny Parth's entire ethos for the series was to ensure that all pre-war blues that could be made available would be and the CDs should remain in catalogue. Parth was a "driven" man and he not handed it all over to Gary Atkinson I'm sure he'd have done just what he intended. There's no way that the complete works of major aritsts like Carr (released in 1992) would have ever been allowed to go out of catalogue under the auspices of Johnny, it was against his raison d'etre!  ;D

How about a Big Joe Williams Boxed Set?

Although there is already a JSP set for Big Joe Williams and the stars of the delta blues (Or something like that) I would like an entire collection of just Big Joe's recordings in chronological order

Something like this:

Disc 1: 1930s
Disc 2: 1940-1945
Disc 3: 1946-1951
Disc 4: 1952-1965 ( I Realize That's A Rather Broad range)
Disc 5: 1965-1972

That would be great.
