LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS, Lightnin' Hopkins (Rare Blues Lp) [1959] Folkways FS-3822 . Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Media Mail.
THIS session was recorded in Texas in 1959.  Lightnin' Hopkins was a major Texas blues artist, and Sam Charters drove around Texas searching for him.  He recorded Hopkins in a residence and this is the record that resulted.  
The cover has spine wear, obscuring the print, and small tears on the top and bottom seams and is G.  The disc is in good condition, there are a few tiny pits on A3 which are audible, and some light scratches which are audible.  This is a thick, heavy platter which sounds good.  VG/VG- The original booklet is included.  
This is a great example of Mr. Hopkins' music.

G+ and G- are used to indicate stronger and weaker copies within this range.  Scratches are audible but record will play without skips.       GRADING SCALE - COVERS New Sealed in shrink wrap VG May have scuffs on one or both sides; contact wear on one or more seams; no seam splits.  No stains but discoloration permitted.   G More scuffs than VG; seams have more wear which may render the spine printing unreadable.  Seam splits of around 2" are permitted on any seam.  Stains are permitted.
