Lightnin Hopkins
"The Blues of Lightnin' Hopkins"
Analogue Productions, 2x 180gram vinyl, 45 rpm speed
Mastered by Steve Hoffman, Kevin Grey from the original master tapes
Limited edition number 185
Up for sale is Lightnin' Hopkins- The Blues of Lightnin' Hopkins, reissued by Analogue Productions on double 45 rpm. Mastered by Steve Hoffman who is known for his "breath of life" sound quality, the band sounds like they are playing in the room. 45 rpm for maximum fidelity to spread the music over 4 sides so there is no loss of fidelity towards the inner grooves. See the original mastering insert (photographed above) for details on the care went into this 45 rpm series.
In my opinion the magic of Steve Hoffman remastering is particularly on albums with vocals, especially these types of simple blues albums. Really sounds like live music in the living room.
Condition:
Records are both in NM condition and have only been played once carefully listened to on Stax headphones. These are extremely revealing headphones, these Fantasy 45 rpm Analogue Productions reissues play really nice and quiet, there are maybe only 5 or 6 tics through out the entire album.
Jacket is clean condition as well, on the back bottom seam the glue is a bit weak and is starting to come unglued, easily fixed with stronger glue. The weak glue is on many of the Analogue Productions 45 rpm albums.
Includes the original insert which includes mastering details by Steve Hoffman, some photographs, etc (see photos above)
Includes the original outer sleeve which has the AcousTech sticker with Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman's signatures
