This is a SEALED ORIGINAL copy and it is in better shape than any copy in existence. This already rare record is pictured here with the original seal, never opened, with the original store tags on the cover. There are no breaks in the seal. No ringwear or discoloration on the cover. There are some small dings on the corners from wear and age, and a couple small black markings on the back. Some of which are likely on the seal rather than the sleeve. Please see the pictures for reference, and don’t hesitate to ask for more pictures! This record is in perfect shape and is the top notch copy.

Lightnin’ Hopkins had already recorded dozens, if not hundreds, of sides for various labels by the time he hooked up with Chris Strachwitz in the late ’50s, but his recordings for Strachwitz’s Arhoolie label are some of the rawest and strongest of his career. Originally released in 1968, this classic slab of Texas blues is reissued here on high quality vinyl with an exact reproduction of the paste-on sleeve. On Limited Edition Forest Green Vinyl. Only 500 copies made. «perhaps the greatest creative blues singer the world will ever bear»
Very rare original 1962 mono LP pressing in VG- condition. Much surface wear, light scratches and many scuffs including a few short feelable scratches which sound but are not intrusive. Groove wear is fairly minimal.
