I normally don't include compilations. However, half of this album contained unreleased material. And, according to Wikipedia, "By the time this album appeared, Johnson was mostly rumor, if known at all, except to a small group of collectors and those who had purchased the original 78s...In 2003, the album was ranked number 27 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Mojo magazine ranked it number 6 on its list of 100 Records That Changed the World (2007)." It's simply too important and influential a record to omit.
