$

6,101

ARTIST:  Robert Johnson

LABEL:  Vocalion 03445

TITLES:   Last Fair Deal Gone Down / 32-20 Blues

CONDITION:  Tiny tears on labels (see pics).

E-   Last Fair Deal Gone Down:  Most groove gloss in tact with very light play wear visible.  Some light rub marks toward end.    A small rim flake not close to grooves.  Plays strong with quiet surface.  Very crisp high end.  A few light tics.

V+   32-20 Blues:   Light groove wear apparent, but not serious. Several light scratches and some rub marks.  Plays strong and clear with very light background crackle.  Not as crisp at the high end.

DESCRIPTION:   I am selling this Robert Johnson for a friend.  The minimum bid is in the middle ground of what RJ Vocalions seem to be selling for recently - no reserve.    While most Robert Johnsons are not considered rare when measured up against late Paramount blues discs, note that in the last 9 years, 27 Robert Johnson Vocalions have changed hands through eBay --  NO COPIES OF VOCALION 03445 ARE IN THIS GROUP.    So this is a rare opportunity to add this particular one to your collection -- it might be 9 years before another copy comes around.  To be fair to all prospective bidders, this auction will run the full 7 days - no offers accepted to end the auction early.
