Description

VERY RARE 'LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS LP, 1 OF A LIMITED RUN OF 99 LP'S ONLY, FOR TAX REASONS, PRESSED BACK IN 1962 OR EARLIER, ON 77 RECORDS CAT NO 77-LA-12-1 & ALSO RETAINS THE RARE DOUBLE SIDED A4 SIZE INSERT WITH INFORMATIVE NOTES BY MACK McCORMICK..

NOW RETIRED, & WITH SOME TIME TO SPARE, WILL BE SELLING SEVERAL BLUES & SIMILAR RELATED LP'S OVER THE COMING WEEKS AND MONTHS AHEAD, INCLUDING MORE SAM 'LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS AND SOME FINE BLUE HORIZON ALBUMS.. A LARGE NUMBER ARE IN EXCELLENT OR BETTER CONDITION- SO WELL WORTH HAVING A LOOK!!

167 GRAM VINYL & BOTH LABELS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION-A FEW LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS BUT PLAYED WITH CARE, & HAVING JUST PLAYED IT THROUGH TWICE TODAY, SOUNDS GREAT, & PLAYS WITH ONLY THE FAINTEST OF SURFACE NOISE-DID NOT SPOIL ANY PLEASURE OF LISTENING TO IT ONCE AGAIN.. IT WILL BE DIFFICULT, I FEEL, TO FIND THESE EARLY BLUES LP'S DEVOID OF ANY FORM OF BACKGROUND OR SURFACE NOISE, I.E STATIC, POPS, CLICKS ETC, SO A PROFESSIONAL CLEAN WOULD BENEFIT THIS ONE, AND OTHER LP'S THAT WILL SOON BE LISTED, AS MOST HAVE NOT BEEN PLAYED IN RECENT YEARS...

THE LIGHT BLUE 13" BY 8" INSERT HAS ONE FOLD ACROSS CENTRE,THIS APART, ALL TEXT IS FULLY READABLE AND IN A CLEAN CONDITION.....

FLIMSY FULLY LAMINATED FLIPBACK WEST BROTHERS SLEEVE HAS LIGHT STORAGE WEAR-SOME LAMINATE LIFTING TOWARDS SPINE, & A FEW SMALL THUMBNAIL SHAPE CREASES ON FRONT & REAR. ALL FAIRLY MINOR BUT WORTH POINTING OUT, NO SPLITS OR UNWANTED WRITING & SPINE MAINLY READABLE- MUST GRADE IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION, & DUE  TO THE SMALL NUMBERS STILL AROUND, WILL BE DIFFICULT TO IMPROVE UPON....

PLEASE NOTE; BEFORE POSTING, ALL VINYLS ARE REMOVED FROM OUTER SLEEVES TO PREVENT ANY SEAM SPLITS, HOUSED IN NEW POLYTHENE OUTER COVERS & PACKED WITH AT LEAST THREE CORRUGATED CARDBOARD STIFFENERS TO MINIMISE THE RISK OF ANY DAMAGE DURING TRANSIT...

ALL UK ITEMS ARE POSTED 1ST CLASS..

IF YOU DO REQUIRE ANY OTHER UK POSTAL SERVICE, I.E. SECOND CLASS, RECORDED, SPECIAL DELIVERY ETC, PLEASE EMAIL & I WILL GET A QUOTE FROM POST OFFICE...
