Editorial Reviews

2007 digitally remastered two-fer from the Blues guitarist featuring a double dose of classic Winter on one shiny CD. Both albums were released during the height of his commercial success in 1974 and feature blistering Blues and Classic Rock in it's finest and most furious form. BGO.

Yahoo!! Isn't that enough of a review? No, well here's a quick one then. All the songs from the vinyl are here. The remastering sounds great. I always thought saints and sinners sounded too tinny with not much bottom end. It has been corrected on this bgo offering. Sure beats paying 85.00 dollars for a japanese non remastered pressing off ebay.

5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY - John Dawson Winter III, November 29, 2007

I bought this to get the complete John Dawson Winter III recording. If you are looking at this re-release and you liked JDW III 35 years ago when it was originally released, buy it now, you will still enjoy it, I did.

For those not sure what the hoopla is about, this 2fer contains the last two studio albums Johnny cut marking the end of his rock n roll superstar era studio recordings. Johnny would go on to release two additional live rock superstar recordings "Captured Live" and "Together" with brother Edgar and gang (now also available again). The point is John Dawson Winter III has not been available for decades.

This recording rocks, many of the songs are performed live on "Captured Live". This is a rock and roll CD about rock and roll with some blues stuff. Every song is excellent, "Self-Destructive Blues" and "Pick Up On My Mojo" are tunes that I had forgot about over the past 35 years that truly stand out.

The sound quality is good and this release of Saints and Sinners does sound better then the stand alone CD (I own it too).

If you liked Johnny in his Rock n Roll heyday, buy this CD, you will not be sorry.

This is another well put together twofer from BGO who seem to specialise in such things.
I've owned the mid 70's "rock" albums from Johnny Winter on vinyl since, well, the mid 70's and I was never able to locate a CD version of JDW111 until now. Together with the BGO twofer Still Alive and Well/Captured Live you will have this period in the career of one of the great guitar slingers of the 70's and beyond well and truly covered.
Soon after this period JW returned to his blues on numerous albums. This early 70's period however has long been a favourite of mine. These two albums contain a mixture of original tunes by Winter and some of the usual suspects including Rick Derringer, Dan Hartman and brother Edgar etc, and covers of various other artists material including Jager/Richards, and even John Lennon and Van Morrison
The booklet included with this disc is informative but hardly gushing in praise, which makes for an interesting read.
All in all I would say this disc is a recommended means of acquiring two strong albums in a good value package.
