Description

LIGHTNIN HOPKINS - LIGHTNIN AND THE BLUES

HERE IT IS THE HOLY GRAIL FOR ANY BLUES FAN OR RECORD COLLECTOR

 ONE OF THE RAREST AND FINEST BLUES RECORD OF ALL TIME

VERY LOW STARTING BID

DUE TO THE RARITY AND PRICE I PAID FOR THIS ALBUM I HAVE HAD TO PLACE A RESERVE ON IT. THIS IS HOWEVER VERY LOW

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES THE SLEEVE HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS THE PAPER AND TAPE THAT COVERS THE SEAMS HAS AGED AND FLAKED AWAY AND AFTER TALKING TO OTHER COLLECTORS I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A REGULAR OCCURANCE WITH THESE SLEEVES AND WAS DUE TO THE MANUFACTURE. HOWEVER ALL SEAMS REMAIN INTACT AND IT IS SOMETIMES EASY TO OVERLOOK THAT THIS RECORD IS 50 YEARS OLD.

WHAT THIS RECORD LACKS IN THE SLEEVE CONDITION IT MAKES UP FOR IN THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL. THIS RECORD IS NOT MINT BY ANY MEANS BUT IS IN AMAZING CONDITION. I HAVE ONLY PLAYED THIS RECORD A HANDFUL OF TIMES SINCE IT HAS BEEN IN MY POSSESSION AS I HAVE BACKED IT UP ON CD. THE VINYL LOOKS AND SOUNDS AMAZING I HAVE TRIED MY BEST TO SHOW THIS IN THE PICTURES. THE VINYL RETAINS ITS DEEP SHINE AND SITS FLAT AND TRUE ON THE PLAYER. THERE IS SOME PAPER SCUFFING AND SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS ON BOTH SIDES WHICH YOU WOULD EXPECT WITH A RECORD THIS AGE THESE HOWEVER DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE 

USING THE RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM I WOULD GRADE THIS 

SLEEVE                                RECORD

FAIR/GOOD                     VERY GOOD/EX-  

 

POSTAGE:   UK- £3.99

                     EUROPE- £7.99

RECORD WILL BE SENT IN A RECORD MAILER STIFFENED WITH CARDBOARD

 

I EXPECT A LOT OF INTEREST AND QUESTIONS ON THIS RECORD SO PLEASE DONT HESITATE TO ASK ME. IF YOU REQUIRE MORE PICTURES SEND ME YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS AND I WILL TRY MY BEST TO HELP

THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK WITH THE BIDDING
