LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS Sings The Blues (Very rare 1961 US 1st issue on the deep groove Crown label, pasted picture sleeve. Seminal set of raw, largely acoustic, blues originally recorded between 1947 and 1951, originally released as 78s in 1947! The delicate sleeve, which unbelievably is still in its opened shrinkwrap, has a seam split along the bottom edge but otherwise is in Excellent condition, original Crown pressings from the US are not known for their audiophile quality, this copy isin surprisingly good shape with a few light scuffs/hairlines - playtesting reveals the odd 'crackle', but nothing excessive - recommended CLP5224)
