Title:   “Lightnin’ in New York”

Label:   CANDID  ~ # CJM-8010.  Monaural pressing on medium weight vinyl.  Label is yellow and orange with black text, with deep groove. 

Year:  1960.

Condition: 

DISC:  Vinyl is nice VG+ with full original gloss.  Has been played a small number of times and handled with care.  There are several faint marks that produce very soft tics in a couple places, but no loud clicks or pops.  Plays very enjoyably with superb fidelity.  Labels are clean.  A very nice playing copy.

JACKET:  Jacket is VG+, with noticeable signs of wear and handling.   Front panel is clean and bright.  Top seam, bottom seam and corner tips show some light wear.  Would grade EXCELLENT, but spine is completely split from top to bottom.  Back panel has original owners address label neatly affixed at the top.  Not the best jacket, but certainly is fine to accompany the nice sounding disc.

CANDID RECORDS postcard is included in top condition.

Review:

“This solo LP features the classic bluesman Lightnin' Hopkins on eight unaccompanied solos, not only singing and playing guitar but taking some rare solos on piano (including on "Lightnin's Piano Boogie").  Hopkins recorded a lot of albums in the 1960s and all are quite listenable even if most are not essential; he did tend to ramble at times! This Candid release is one of his better sets of the period, highlighted by "Take It Easy," "Mighty Crazy," and "Mister Charlie."”
