Description
Various Artists, The Legacy of Tommy Johnson (Saydisc/Matchbox SDM 224) (1972).
Compilation produced by a UK label to accompany David Evans's book Tommy Johnson in the Blues Paperbacks Series. Artists featured are Mager Johnson (Tommy's brother), Roosevelt Holts, Boogie Bill Webb, Babe Stovall, Arzo Youngblood, Isaac Youngblood, John Henry "Bubba" Brown, Houston Stackhouse. 16 tracks including versions of "Big Road", "Bye and Bye", "Maggie Campbell" and others from TJ's recorded repertoire, plus other material. NB: to the best of the seller's knowledge, none of these recordings, taped in the field by David Evans, was ever issued on other LPs. Detailed notes by David Evans.
This is a white-label test pressing in a white card jacket – one of probably fewer than five such copies ever pressed.
Condition: virtually new. Disc played no more than once and immaculate. Jacket slightly bumped at a couple of corners but clean and otherwise undamaged. An exceptionally rare version of an album that is very scarce even in its finished form.
Seller will be glad to provide the winning bidder with a photocopy of the track-listing and notes from a finished copy, if wished.
