sentences:  Vocalion Records issued the second take in 1937; Columbia Records chosen the first for Johnson's first compilation "King of the Delta Blues Singers" (1961).Wald believes that the Vocalion producers considered the first take to be too mournful and uncommercial, and told Johnson to sing a more upbeat variant for the second take.Wald feels that the inferior take was the one actually issued in 1937.
