#38- ROBERT JOHNSON 
PARTIAL DISCOGRAPHY!
Updated 3/1/2007
Johnson's recordings have remained continuously available since John
Hammond convinced Columbia Records to compile the first Johnson LP, King
of the Delta Blues Singers, in 1961. A sequel LP, assembling the rest
of what could be found of Johnson's recordings at that time, was issued
in 1970. An omnibus two-CD set (The Complete Recordings) was released
in 1990 [Sony/Columbia Legacy 46222], containing all 41 known recordings
of his 29 compositions.
A 1996 plastic jewel-case remaster of the "Complete" set [Sony/Columbia
Legacy 64916] corrected fidelity and pitch problems from the cardboard-packaged
box. The more recent CD re-releases of "King of the Delta Blues
Singers" Volumes 1 & 2 improve the sound quality far more dramatically,
but don't include 10 alternate takes (and two accidental introductions)
found on "Complete." Volume 1 includes a recently discovered
alternate take of "Traveling Riverside Blues" which is not
included on the "Complete" collection. This now brings the
number of known Johnson recordings to 42.
