I hope this turns out to be true. Still two different recording sessions and was only Robert Johnson sped up? My general skepticism give me pause......
I go in and out of country blues phases, and though I have the 2 LPs and the CD box, I've never been a RJ fan. Much to my damnation and derision from fellow blues fans. Maybe the record speed explains they high-pitched hokum of "They're Red Hot." Maybe there was an innate audio reason for my keeping RJ at arms length? In any case, if it is true I'll buy the remastered set and listen to the "new" Robert Johnson.
I wonder if they slowed down Barbecue Bob on his 78's?
