Description

LIGHTNING HOPKINS Early Recordings ARHOOLIE R2007 (1st pressing on dark red label, thick vinyl) (VG+, light scuff; jacket VG to VG+ with light flaking along spine & surface, small corner split)

This record is from the collection of the late blues and surrealist author and collector Paul Garon. With few exceptions, they are first pressings, purchased when they were new releases beginning in the late 1950s. Paul focused his collecting and listening on 78s and rarely played the LPs and 45s, most of which were stored in his attic. 


See grading codes below. See photos for label damage, markings, stickers, etc.

Thanks for buying from my eBay store. Your purchases support my blues writing and research work!

Please keep me in mind if you have blues memorabilia or records you no longer want to keep or need to sell or donate.

GRADING: LPs, EPs and 45s are graded M (mint), NM (near mint), VG+, VG (very good), VG-, G+, G (good), G-, F (fair), and P (poor).

A VG+ record may have some visible scuffs and light scratches and plays well with little surface noise. Scratches on records graded VG and VG- may be deep enough to feel with your fingernail, or there may be scuffs or scratches throughout that cause surface noise. On records in the G+, G and G- range the level of the music is still above the surface noise caused by scuffs and scratches. Surface noise is as loud as the music on records graded F and louder than the music on P records. P records are likely to be unplayable.

[+ and - denote in-between grades. Grades with a slash in between indicate the condition of Side A/Side B.]

Jackets graded VG+ have only slight wear; jackets graded VG are more worn but still intact unless defects are noted. G jackets show definite damage and F and P jackets are probably falling apart. Splits, markings, cut corners, and other defects will be noted or shown in photos with this listing.
