THESE 1954 RECORDINGS HAVE LIGHTNIN’ ON ELECTRIC GUITAR WITH BASS AND DRUMS, SOMETHING THAT WOULDN’T HAPPEN AGAIN FOR A WHILE. THE ALBUM DIDN’T SELL VERY WELL, INCREDIBLE AS THAT MAY SEEM NOW. THE MARKET FOR LIGHTNIN’S STYLE OF BLUES WAS DISAPPEARING AMONG BLACK AUDIENCES, AND RECORD COMPANIES WERE TOO DUMB AND/OR SHORTSIGHTED TO REALLY TRY TO MARKET THE BLUES MORE WIDELY THAN AMONG THAT AUDIENCE. FORTUNATELY FOR HIM, LIGHTNIN’ WAS “DISCOVERED” A FEW YEARS LATER DURING THE “FOLK BLUES” BOOM OF THE 1960s, WHERE SANCTIMONIOUS FOLKIES LOOKING FOR THE “PURE BLUES” RECORDED ANY BLUESMAN THEY COULD FIND - AS LONG AS HE WAS PLAYING ACOUSTIC GUITAR. LIGHTNIN’, NEVER ONE TO PASS UP AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A FEW BUCKS, PULLED OUT THE ACOUSTIC AND OBLIGED, TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT HALF A MILLION ALBUMS’ WORTH OF MATERIAL. FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS AN ORIGINAL 1st MONO PRESSING ON THE “HERALD” BLACK & SILVER PRINT LABEL, BY FAR ONE OF THE RAREST AND SOUGHT AFTER BLUES RECORDS IN THE WORLD AND HERE OFFERED IN AWESOME CONDITION, BY FAR THE BEST COPY I HAVE EVER SEEN OR HAD ! ––– SURFACE IS SPARKLING SHINE LIKE THE DAY THE RECORD CAME OFF THE PRESS, NO SCRATCHES, JUST A FEW TINY DIMPLES HERE AND THERE FROM THE PRESSING PROCESS THAT SHOULDN’T AFFECT AT ALL THE OUTSTANDING PLAYBACK EXPERIENCE... ACTUALLY, IT LOOKS IN VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED CONDITION. THE COVER HAS NO WRITING OR SEAM SPLITS, COUPLE OF INITIALS STAMPED AT BACK LOWER RIGHT SIDE –– HLP 1012-A / HLP 1012-B STAMPED IN TRAIL-OFF DEAD WAX  ...
