Country blues recordings originally made from November 1950 to July 1951. Features Sam “Lightnin’” Hopkins singing and playing solo on acoustic blues guitar.
The record is in lovely condition. Sound quality is excellent on both sides for such a demanding acoustic recording with no surface noise and just the odd pop or crackle. The record is bright and shiny with no surface marks, and the labels are in pristine condition. The record is conservatively graded as “Very Good +”.
The sleeve is clean and unmarked and is in “Excellent” condition. It comes with the original inner sleeve which is also in good condition.
The record will be packed securely and sent in a professional record mailer with stiffeners.
