The Complete Recordings

Search: Phonograph Blues
by: Robert Johnson

Release Date April 14, 2008
I regret buying this. Yes, it's very interesting to compare the duplicate versions, especially wondering about the old arguments about the speeding-up (or not) of the original recordings...but now when I come to play this out of simple love for this wonderful music, I'm annoyed at having to skip over the unwanted duplicates, and wish I'd stuck to buying CDs of the original two separate 1961 LP versions. In pretty well every case, I think they got it right, which version to choose etc.

Supernatural

Search: Phonograph Blues
by: Peter Green, Fleetwood Mac, Splinter Group

Release Date June 25, 2007
Peter Green has always been one of my favourite guitarists and I could literally listen to his playing all day. This double cd is a real Gem! The first cd is basically his Fleetwood Mac classics and includes a superb instrumental version of "Man Of The World." The second cd consists of some classic Blues and his versions of Robert Johnson's originals are truly wonderful, better than Eric Clapton's versions in my opinion and include some fine accoustic and harp playing. His version of Freddie King's "Going Down" is also well above average.

The Best of Peter Green Splinter Group

Search: Phonograph Blues
by: Peter Green

Release Date May 29, 2006
The 'Best of' disk has 15 tracks which have previously appeared on other 'Splinter Group' recordings, but the man who picked these tracks obviously knows a well performed blues song as he has picked some of the best recordings from the last 6 years since Peter Green got back on the road. Songs range from old style country blues to up-tempo electric blues.

I thought the bonus disk on its own was worth the money, with live or alternative versions of five of Peter Green's best compositions including Albatross and Man of the World.
