Amazon.co.uk Review
This two-CD box contains all 41 recordings Johnson made, including 12 alternate takes, and each cut remains a classic. This set's release in 1990 caused quite a stir, selling more than 500,000 copies and, on the basis of endorsements from Eric Clapton and Keith Richards, introduced a great number of rock fans to Delta blues. Amazingly, Johnson built his enormous legacy on the strength of just two recording sessions: the first session, in November of 1936, produced among others "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom", "Sweet Home Chicago", "Cross Road Blues" and "Walkin' Blues", making it perhaps the most influential single session in blues' history. --Marc Greilsamer

 The complete recordings April 1, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I Have never felt the need to write a review before but that Robsome & Jerome comment, It has got to be a joke, hasen't it, very surreal, certainly made me laugh out loud! Anyway I have had this collection for quite a few years now, and it's outstanding of course, as anyone with more than a passing interest in the blues already knows, (cost a lot more when I first bought it) but I was just wondering if this is a remastered version, does anyone out there know? I might just have to buy another copy, at this bargan price for an important piece of musical history, why not?
For 3, buy it! February 8, 2008
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
I'll keep this one short: The music isn't great and the recordings are often very scratchy, but for 3 you get to hear some of the most influential and groundbreaking music in history. Buy it for the history lesson alone if not anything else.
A dedicated box set to the genius of Mr Robert Johnson February 5, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
An absolute genius, an incredible listen. A warning to anybody buying this box set: As has been said by other reviewers, the set has all of the recordings by Johnson, you will hear more than one recording of each song, and if you are new to Johnson, this will be pretty intense ( and maybe a bit dull). If you have heard Johnson before, then it's worth getting this though.
Much as I love Clapton, B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf, etc, Johnson is just incredible: better than the lot of them, and the best guitarist I have ever heard, even above the great Clapton himself.
LISTEN and you will learn! September 5, 2007

this last guy is quite clearly not evolved enough to understand that these recordings are the only remaining documents left of one of the most talented young musicians ever to have graced this planet.It takes a keen ear to listen a level deeper and to want to do this.LISTEN AND YOU WILL LEARN. Thank you.
Best Value cd On The Market! June 17, 2007
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
This double cd is in my opinion the best value cd on the market! It comes in a compact box which includes an informative booklet on the great delta bluesman. All the recordings and all the takes on two cds, it is a must for Robert Johnson fans and enthusiasts of blues and rock music.
