Analog Productions reissues.

[S888Wheel]

A friend of mine was over the other night who is a hard core blues lover so we
pretty much went throught the Analog Productions catalog of blues reissues. I
have to say every single one of them is a major sonic winner and they picked
some great music to reissue to boot. It seems that much of the Analog
Productions back catalog has been ignored lately and can be found heavily
discounted. I would say that now is the time to buy these records at great
prices before they are no longer available. I have yet to find a bad title in
their catalog. I highly recomend the two Sonnyboy Williamson titles along with
the Jimmy Rodgers and Otis Spann titles. The Jimmy Witherspoon is excellent
too. I haven't ever tried any of their original blues productions yet.

I've got nothing but good things to say about the Analog Productions catalogue.
I've been dealing with Chad Kassem and his company for years, and have always
found them to be reliable and putting out excellent recordings.

While not blues, their reissue of the Weavers 25th Reunion Concert at Carnegie
Hall is well worth considering - sonices, performances, etc. all are
outstanding. I'd also highly recommend a few other titles of theirs - (a)
Guitar Artistry of Charlie Byrd, (b) Doc Watson & Merle Watson - Pickin' the
Blues, and (c) Janis Ian - Breaking Silence.

I think the Doc Watson reissue is on Cisco. I do like it though. And if you are
looking for one of the absolutely most realistic sounding recordings on earth
check out Shelly Mann's Sounds unheard of.

Maybe it's on both. My copy was produced by Analogue Productions. I got it
several years ago.

I'll check it out.
