***************************************************DETAILS ABOUT ITEM**********************************************
JOSEPH SPENCE IS PROBABLY THE GREATEST FOLK MUSICIAN TO COME OUT OF THE BAHAMAS.  A BAHAMA BLUESMAN.  THIS LP HAS WHAT I CONSIDER HIS BEST WORK.  FAR SUPERIOR TO THE RECORDINGS ON HIS ARHOOLIE RELEASE.  THE GUITAR WORK IS FANTASTIC AND THE COMPOSTION AND EXECUTION ARE BREATHTAKING.  A TRUE ORIGINAL.  ON MY TOP RECOMENDATIONS THIS LP IS A HARD ONE FOR ME TO LET GO.  HEAVY VINYL AND THICK COVER WITH THE ORIGINAL INSERT BOOKLET. HARD TO COME BY THIS 1964 RELEASE. AMONG THE MOST COMPELLING RECORDINGS EVER MADE BY SAM CHARTERS.
