Sir John a Lot

disappointing rendition of great music
It seems obvious to me that this CD is a digital recording of someone's vinyl original, with pops and all. I think I would have ended up with less popping and extraneous noise if I had a digital copy of my own vinyl version of this great Renbourn effort. I am very disappointed in the quality of the recording, not in the music itself -- which is timeless and every bit as enjoyable as I remember it from when I played vinyl music. There is a more expensive European CD available. I would recommend you put out the extra money for it, provided you can verify that it is actually a digital remastering of the original tapes, and not just another digital sampling of someone's vinyl copy.

I loved this so much on vinyl
I loved this so much on vinyl, that I had to get the cd. My vinyl copy was wearing out. I was a Pentangle fan, and Renbourn with Jansch were both excellent writers and performers. Sir John will be my favorite as I bought this on LP years ago with Basket of Light. If you like/love Pentangle, you'll like this album.

One of the Great Ones
Like many others I had this in vinal, which I wore a hole in. I bought the cd and it is still a great effort on the part of John Renbourn. I don't agree with the reviewer who wrote that it sounds dated, but it isn't for everyone. But if you, like me, really love a completely acoustic sound you will love this classic.This was an LP and side one was a more rennaisance style while side two was more experimental. It has a cool jazz feel with a touch of country.

John Renbourne revisited
I appreciated the clarity and ease of use as soon as it was opened. My old records are showing their age and this CD picked out the music well. Quality was excellent

Good Music
It is a little known classic that has to be heard by anyone who is interested in the early days of folky guitar and other instruments.
