By now, it's no secret how excited we are to unveil the second and final volume in our Paramount Records re-issue collections. From the sleek, retro-future aluminum casing to the over 90 Paramount advertisement facsimiles included inside, it is one of our proudest achievements to date! Most interestingly, Dean Blackwood, the head honcho over at Revenant Records, reveals the guiding question behind the creation of the collection to be "what would Paramount Records have done if they gave a shit (which they didn't)? What would these things have looked like?"

CANNOT WAIT!!!!
What happened to the post on this website? I feel like half of them are gone along with random comments missing.
I’m disappointed in that it has been confirmed that no “holiday bundle” will be considered. I have held off buying Volume 1 just for that.
Maybe I should stop eating for 2 or 3 months to afford both sets.
That silver thingy looks gorgeous!
I loved Vol. 1 and can’t wait for Vol. 2!!! I even dragged my wife up to Grafton to see the Paramount sites and original factory foundation. Not to much to see but the town is really proud of the Paramount legacy.
There seems to be a lot less interest this time then the first one. I wonder if that is because of cost, sound quality or who knows what. It just seems people in general are not talking about this like the first one. I thought it would be the other way around because of the idea that it might not even be released because of legal reasons.
How Blessed is America to have Jack, Dean and the other Private Citizens involved, CARE ENOUGH to curate these historically significant recordings so meticulously and beautifully! And to have these Paramount collections “available to the public” and NOT locked up behind glass, archived away from music lovers and history buffs in museums and vaults is a Wonderment in itself, as well as Visionary!
I can’t wait for this. Have been saving up for awhile. I emailed them and they said they did not think they would do a Holiday Bundle and might try to match serial numbers. I hope they are both true. I can’t wait for this!
This is the one and ONLY thing that makes me wish Jack had waited until 2015 to release Lazaretto. The junkie in me was uncontrollable and I went to too many shows (with more already coming up in January!) to be able to afford this any time soon. But I’ll work hard and pay off those credit card bills as soon as his tour’s done and then this will be mine. That gleaming aluminum case already has a spot reserved in my living room right alongside the first gorgeous oak one. And every upcoming review of this one will make my eyes and ears that much more eager to pore through that big silver book and soak up the sounds on those rekkids and that winged usb drive. There’s just always so much to want. Wonder if I’d be able to affix that usb to the hood of my car…
Puebla is waiting D:
awesome, leave it to TMR to put out some killer stuff
