Description

Robert Johnson "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom"/ "Dead Shrimp Blues" 78 Vocalion 3475 (1936). Recorded during the legendary Bluesman's San Antonio sessions in 1936, "Dust My Broom", of all of Johnson's recordings, may have provided the most imitated lick. Whatever the number of copies that still exist -- 15? 20? -- it ain't many, and this is the first time we've offered one. Both labels show wear, but, then, it is about to be 70 years old! A nice surprise is that both sides play better than they look, and without skips. Condition: GD-VG 4.
