Description

THIS IS A RARE LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS LP FROM 1971. RELEASED ON THE BLUE HORIZON LABEL CAT NO. 2431 005.

IT'S A COLLECTION OF RECORDINGS FROM 1964/65 RELEASED AS PART OF MIKE VERNON'S POST WAR MASTERS SERIES.

THIS IS AUTHENTIC COUNTRY BLUES AT IT'S BEST AND A HIGHLY COLLECTABLE ITEM.  IT WAS ONE OF THE LAST (AND

BEST) TO BE RELEASED ON THIS GREAT LABEL. DISTRIBUTED BY POLYDOR, IT HAS THE WHITE LABELS WITH BLUE PRINT.

A FIRST UK PRESS , THE MOTHERS/STAMPERS ARE A1/B1 ON SIDES 1 & 2 RESPECTIVELY. THE LABELS ARE STILL A BRILLIANT

 WHITE ,NO MARKS OR WRITING ,   JUST A HANDFUL OF SPINDLE TRAILS ON SIDE 1, EVEN LESS ON SIDE 2. THIS IS A

BARELY PLAYED RECORD! THERE ARE A FEW WHISPY LINES AND VERY FEINT MARKS THAT I SUSPECT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY

THE POLY-LINED INNER SLEEVE. THEY HAVE NO IMPACT ON PLAYBACKWHICH IS EXCELLENT/ EXCELLENT+. THE EXCELLENT VISUAL APPEARANCE MAY BE IMPROVED EVEN MORE WITH A PROFESSIONAL CLEAN THERE ARE NO SCRATCHES OF ANY SIGNIFICANCE. THE AUDIO IS ALSO EXCELLENT . THERE IS THE VERY OCCASIONAL SOFT POP AND ONLY LIGHTEST BACKGROUND HISS IN PLACES. SILENCE BETWEEN TRACKS AND ON THE RUN- OUT GROOVES. A NICE CLEAR MONO

THE UNLAMINATED COVER IS PRINTED BY E.J DAY OF LONDON. THERE IS SOME RUBBING TO THE FRONT DUE TO SLIGHTLY

CARELESS STORAGE SOMETIME IN THE PAST, AND A VISIBLE DISC IMPRESSION ( SEE PICTURE).  THERE IS A SINGLE

MINOR CREASE RIGHT BY THE OPENING EDGE. THE REAR OF THE COVER HAS JUST MINOR STORAGE WEAR. THE SPINE HAS A

 LITTLE RUBBING AT THE TOP AND THE BOTTOM AND JUST ABOVE THE WORD 'AWHILE'. HOWEVER ALL OF THE SPINE TEXT

IS FULLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NO   TEARS ,WRITING OR ANY OTHER DAMAGE TO THE OUTER SLEEVE. COVER GRADED AS VERY

 GOOD + . THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED 05/71 INNER IS IN NICE CONDITION, JUST A BIT YELLOWED.

 

TRACKS:  SIDE 1 - THIS TIME WE'RE GONNA TRY                    SIDE 2 - I WISH I WAS A BABY

                        CHRISTMAS TIME IS COMING                                 THE CRAZY SONG

                        COME ON BABY, LET'S WORK AWHILE                       LIGHTNIN'S LOVE

                        THE JET                                                           TAKE IT IF YOU WANT IT
