JOHNSON, ROBERT - Love In Vain (Sealed) (LP)

Though the legendary blues musician Robert Johnson was only known to have recorded twice in his brief lifetime, in 1936 and 1937 in Texas, his output in those two brief days so long ago was both endlessly influential and surprisingly prolific. Beyond the classic sides that were released on 78 rpm at the time, there were numerous unreleased outtakes and alternate recordings that went uncovered for decades after their recording. Collected here are 12 alternate takes including essentials like "Crossroad Blues", Drunken Hearted Man", "Ramblin' On My Mind", and more. Essential and rare Robert Johnson sides back in print on Wax Love.
