Description

Folkways Records ORIGINAL 1959 Vinyl
Lightnin' Hopkins
I just completely enjoyed this in it's entirety - Side B then Side A
Absolutely fabulous sound and music of Lightnin' - a few crackles but overall a collector's dream for 60 year old vinyl.
And, just to add more fabulous, album cover has been signed by Lightnin'
"To hum it may be = Lightnin Hopkins"
Signed in blue ballpoint pen.
Original album insert is included.  Only the inner record liner is not original to the album.  Also in the album was an unused postcard with a photo of Sam "Lightnin" Hopkins (1912-1982).
I would grade as follows:
Vinyl - Very good +
Record label - Near Mint
Album Cover - Very good +
Insert - Near Mint
Track List:

A1 Penitentiary Blues
A2 Bad Luck And Trouble
A3 Come And Go With Me
A4 Trouble Stay 'Way From My Door
A5 See That My Grave Is Kept Clean
B1 Goin' Back To Florida
B2 Reminiscences Of Blind Lemon
B3 Fan It
B4 Tell Me Baby
B5 She's Mine
