Description
This quintessential double LP edition (housed in a gatefold sleeve) contains all of Robert Johnson's preserved master recordings taped in San Antonio and Dallas, between 1936 and 1937. Originally, 24 of them were released as 78 rpm singles in the late 1930s by the Vocalion label (see detailed data table inside).
In addition to the 24 original sides released by Vocalion between 1937 and 1938, this collector's item also includes five songs recorded during the same dates, which were not issued by Vocalion. The five originally unissued tunes were "If I Had Possession Over Judgment Day," "When You Got a Good Friend," "Travelling Riverside Blues," "Phonograph Blues," and "Drunken Hearted Man." This Pan-Am deluxe edition also includes 2 bonus tracks from those same Dallas recording sessions, consisting of alternate takes of "Traveling Riverside Blues" and "Love in Vain Blues."
