[78-L] Robert Johnson madness again

[Cary Ginell]

In V-minus condition, no less. Who ARE these buyers? Are they working rock guitarists who want to show how "authentic" their roots are? They're not record collectors, because at least the ones I know either cannot afford to spend that much on a record or know that a V-minus copy of it is basically just a wall-hanger. Does anyone know someone who has paid these outrageous sums for these Robert Johnson records? What is the profile?
