"King of the Delta Blues Singers" |
Almost a decade late in 1971 another record was released, which was a “sequel” to the previous one and was titled “King of the Delta Blues Singers Vol. II”. In 2004 it was released for the second time.
"The Complete Recordings" |
Beside these LPs many other compilations have been released. Some of these are “Robert Johnson, Contracted to the Devil” which is a good introduction to his work and it includes 24 songs. “The High Price of Soul”, which circulated in 2006 from “Primo” and finally “The Original Blues Legend” which includes nearly all his recordings.
