About This Record.  This is an original USA copy of one of the rarest Lightnin' Hopkins records (besides his Herald LP that I also have for auction) entitled "Lightning Strikes Again" that was released in 1961 on Dart Records in a very limited pressing.  This copy is a sight for sore eyes but it plays OK; I've tried to upgrade it over the years but just never saw another copy. Please see detailed description of the cover, vinyl and labels below.
Please see my other 15 Rolling Stones LPs I have listed or will be listing for sale.  All LPs except SEALED LPs come cleaned on my KL Audio Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Machine.
I combine shipping which is $4.00 USA media mail for however many records you buy.  PLEASE Please, wait for my invoice (requesting one helps me know when you are done bidding and if you pay separately eBay makes it difficult to refund you for excess shipping). Thanks.
Cover:  Good (G).  The spine is almost totally split, and 3 or 4 inches of the top and bottom spines are split/splitting from the opening edge.  "Open City" (LA Record Store) stamp on front cover, back cover, and both sides of the labels.  Thanks a lot, Open City!  That must be one of many reasons you went out of business (not respecting vinyl with four stamps!)  Please see photos.
Inserts  Comes with original white (now very brown) plain hole in the middle paper sleeve, but also comes cleaned in a new Rice Paper equivalent sleeve.
Vinyl:  Good Plus (G+).  This looks horrible but plays well . . . .solid G+ to VG.  No deep marks, but lots and lots of paper marks and light scuffs.  No sticks, no jumps, no ongoing repetitive clicking.
Label Condition:  Good Plus (G+).  There is a giant "Open City" stamp on each label and age wear.
Shipping:  $4.00 USA shipping on however many records you purchase.  BUT PLEASE WAIT for my invoice and request one when you are done bidding.  eBay makes it very difficult to refund excess shipping if you pay for multiple items you want in the same package.  All my records come carefully packed after I clean them on my KL Audio Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Machine and place them in a new rice-paper sleeve so they will be ready for you to play.
Vinyl Grading:  My grading [Cover/Vinyl]  F/G-/G/G+/VG-/VG/VG+/EX-/EX/EX+/NM/Sealed.  Records are visually graded unless otherwise indicated because some of these blues recordings, are by nature, not the best recordings and everybody has a different point of view about what a NM looking records plays like when the source are old recordings that themselves have crackle, etc.
Guarantee:  All my records are guaranteed; happy to refund you 100% if for some reason you are not satisfied, and I will cover the return shipping as well.  That's the way I do business.
