Pawnshop Blues gathers twenty essential sides cut in New York City between 1938 and 1949, spotlighting the earthy, street-corner poetry and traveling rhythms that defined pre-war and post-war blues. Curated as part of the acclaimed Complete Blues series, this compilation distills the era’s grit and soul through standout performances like Goin’ Down Slow and Leavin’ Blues. The set captures the interplay of acoustic guitar, harmonica-driven laments, and raw, conversational vocals that shaped the idiom’s evolution and influenced generations of folk, country, and rock musicians. With detailed notes and session information, Pawnshop Blues serves both as an entry point for new listeners and a deep-dive time capsule for dedicated collectors, offering context around artists, sessions, and the cultural crossroads that made these recordings enduring cornerstones of American music.

Great website – Item in Perfect Condition, Worth the Wait
I ordered a Funko Pop + Tee set from Yachew and had a great experience overall. The item arrived in perfect condition — clean packaging, no damage, and exactly as described. As a collector, I really appreciate when things are handled with care, and this definitely was.
Although the order arrived about a week later than expected, it wasn’t a big deal to me. What stood out most was Yachew’s quick and helpful communication. I had a couple of enquiries along the way, and they responded promptly and professionally, which gave me peace of mind while waiting.
All in all, I’m very happy with the purchase and the customer service. I’d definitely buy from Yachew again — highly recommended!
