#61- 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.
