Description
Up for auction is a 12-page fold out catalog supplement from late 1937 announcing the release of new Vocalion records. This supplement is not dated, but based on catalog numbers of the new releases is most likely from late 1937. It also lists the following Robert Johnson releases from 1937, with the last Robert Johnson release of 1937, "Stones In My Passway/I'm A Steady Rollin' Man" NOT being listed. So this was published sometime between the release of "Milkcow's Calf Blues/Malted Milk" and "Stones In My Passway/I'm A Steady Rollin' Man".
03416 Kind Hearted Woman Blues/Terraplane Blues 03445 32-20 Blues/Last Fair Deal Gone Down 03475 Dead Shrimp Blues/I Believe I'll Dust My Broom 03519 Cross Road Blues/Ramblin' On My Mind 03563 Come On In My Kitchen/They're Red Hot 03601 Sweet Home Chicago/Walkin' Blues 03623 Hell Hound On My Trail/From Four Until Late 03665 Milkcow's Calf Blues/Malted Milk
The cover page presents the new Novelty Vocal, Swing Series and Dance record releases with the Race (Blues) release presented on the lower third of the inside cover. The balance of the supplement lists available Popular, Dance, Instrumental, Old Time Singing, Novelty Hot Dance and String Bands, Hoosier Hot Shots, Race (Hot Dance and Blues) and Race (Sacred) records from the Vocalion catalog. Johnson's listings are all under the Race section.
This would be a great addition to any Blues, Robert Johnson or record collection.
