| Mark,
I'll second your feelings about RJ's recordings simply unbelievable.
Also, FYI, Hal Leonard Publishing is supposed to come out with
transcriptions of the box set.

| There is a label on the front of the box which states "Not licensed
for Radio broadcast". Does this mean that radio stations cannot
play any of Robert's recordings over the air ?
I can see them not playing the entire boxed set over the radio,
since many people would record it and not buy the product, but
playing individual cuts wouldn't hurt, in fact it might encourage
people to buy the set.
Puzzled !!

| I think that it's something to do with the law that privately-owned
commercially available recordings cannot be played over radio, or for
public performances for profit. Just like it's supposedly illegal to
make copies of tapes and records. The recordings that radio stations
use are marked "promotional copy, not for sale".

I believe that it means that the CONSUMER RETAIL PRICE does not give you
the broadcast rights. If you are a broadcaster you must puchase the
product through the proper channels that provide you with the broadcast
license. This is similar to the prerecorded video cassette industry
selling you a license to view the contents of a tape in your own home,
i.e. you are not licensed to distribute the contents in any way.
So, if a radio station buys a copy of a recording an a store and
broadcasts that copy (and gets caught), they get in trouble for using
copyrighted material to which they had no rights.

Boy, that makes a whole lot of sense. Wouldn't want some DJ playing
the album on the radio so that someone might *hear* it and want to go
*buy* it now, would we?

| I believe John Hammond owns the entire catalog of RJ works. I suspect it's a
royalty gathering mechanism.

Hmm, I always thought the usual royalty mechanism
for radio was the station logs and spot monitoring of stations by the
"appropriate" licensing (ASCAP or BMI for example) entity. This must be
a new method.

Yeah, but that's the publisher's royalty. It goes to the songwriter,
doesn't it? The record company owns the RECORDING of the song. They want
something in return for the radio station using their recording. Maybe
they give it away and just want to keep track of the stuff. I don't
know. Anybody know? It's just my guess as to how it works.
Hey, we sure are making a mess of this Robert Johnson note. I'm much
more self consious (SP?) now.

| Just out of curiosity, what model Gibson guitar did Robert Johnson
play ? Does anyone know the whereabouts of his guitar ? Is it in
a museum somewhere.

| I heard "Traveling Riverside Blues" on the radio last night (WBOS 92.9
Blues on Sunday) so I guess they are allowed to play it.
I own that box set and "unbelievable" is a vast understatement.
There's more soul there than I've heard anywhere.

I sometimes have the boxed set. It's the most difficult to get back
when loaned out.
The book of transcriptions is out and covers just one version of each
recording (for those without the set there is sometimes two takes of a
particular song). Pretty faithful and well worth getting. Takes the
hassel out of and speeds up the learning process.
