Guys, I could be wrong about this, but I *think* I'm right.
I just checked out the audio clip on the auction. There are two known takes of "Kindhearted Woman Blues", and Johnson's inflection on this recording does not appear (to my ear) to match either of them. I think this is a third, unknown take.
Which would explain the price. Give it another listen and see. I haven't had the time tonight to A/B the recordings.

This seller ain't selling that record thinking he has a third and previously unknown take.
Both versions of Kindhearted were issued by Vocalion with the same catalog #. If there was a third take on Vocalion someone would have found it by now.
