Footnotes:
Despite his shockingly brief career and the decades since his death, few artists have endured like Robert Johnson. His songs and performances have inspired innumerable artists including Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Cassandra Wilson, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jack White. One of these titles, 'Hell Hound on My Trail,' has become synonymous with Johnson's mythology. Pre-war blues 78s are rare in any condition and this copy is an extraordinary example. Rated for sale by Good Rockin' Tonight as NM 8, this is likely one of the finest Robert Johnson 78s to come to market.
