A FEW OF THE ITEMS WE WANT

LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS On Stage (Very scarce 1962 US original 12-track deep groove MONO LP on the black Imperial label, by the Texas Blues legend, often voted one of 100 greatest guitarists of all time. Rather than a live record, this title actually features Hopkins' debut album recordings [previously released as the extremely rare, Strums The Blues] & fleshes them out with a few extra tracks. This is so vital! Please see 'more info' for condition details... LP-9180-A)

Tracklisting: Katie May My California Honey Babe Short Haired Woman Little Mama Blues So Long Feel So Bad Shotgun Rollin' & Rollin' See See Rider Mistreated Blues Abilene Condition :- Obtained from a one previous owner collection of original blues, R&B, & early rock treasures, this copy is only just now seeing the light of day. The heavy duty pasted picture sleeve sports the usual signs of vintage for a US LP jacket. A little crinkling to the paper along the spine was inevitable, although it doesn't get in the way of the print. The spine is clearly legible. The top & bottom edges are tape reinforced at the opening due to hairline splits, but this is not old tape & is very nicely done. The sleeve looks fantastic, & stands proud in all its vintage glory, with a historic '45/-' price sticker on the rear. Apart from the splits mentioned, it makes for a lovely VG- copy. US sixties originals rarely find their way to us, whatsoever. Unusually, the labels look pristine, suggesting very little play. Play testing this record was such a treat. This is the real deal; the raw, American Blues sound like no other. It can't be imitated. The wax is super clean. Under a bright light you may detect just the very lightest few paper scuffs but these are of no consequence. Playback is exceptional, & any background surface appears to come from the master tapes rather than the vinyl. To the naked idea, we would class the disc as Excellent. A serious recommendation for the dedicated blues scholar & collector alike.
LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS In Berkeley (1972 US Arhoolie issue 12-track LP, also featuring drummer Francis Clay on the second side, pasted picture sleeve still factory sealed from new, the vinyl mint and unplayed)

Tracklisting: Please Settle In Vietnam Up On Telegraph (Avenue) Wipe Your Feet On The Floor Send My Child Home To Me Selling Wine Brand New Look Have You Ever Loved A Woman Little And Low Hold Up Your Head Good Times Here Annie's Boogie Black And Evil
LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS with BROWNIE McGHEE & SONNY TERRY Coffee House Blues (2005 Japanese exclusive limited edition 11-track 'Super Analog Master Sound' 24-bit remastered CD album recorded live at The Ash Grove, Los Angeles, on 6th & 7th July1960 by the blues titans, superbly presented in mini LP-style pasted card picture sleeve complete with fold-out lyric sheet + obi-strip)

Right On That Shore - Brownie McGhee & Sonny Terry with Lightnin' Hopkins
LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS Volume II (1976 US 9-track stereo vinyl LP compilation, pasted picture sleeve - still in its opened shrinkwrap. The sleeve shows minimal wear and the vinyl looks barely played FS313)

Tracklisting: A1 Fugitive Blues 3:40 A2 G String Guitar 3:07 A3 Grand Ma Told Grand Pa 4:47 A4 Rain 2:45 A5 Goin' To Dallas 3:40 B1 Last Night 4:30 B2 Keep Movin' On 3:15 B3 That's My Story 4:38 B4 Dillon's Store 6:50
LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS Lightnin' Sam Hopkins (80s US red Arhoolie label 10-track LP of recordings from the early sixties, glossy picture sleeve. The sleeve is Excellent with a little light shelf wear & the vinyl is clean & in Excellent condition with very little play F1011)

Tracklisting: 1. Meet You At The Chicken Shack 2. Once Was A Gambler 3. Speedin' Boogie 4. Ice Storm Blues 5. California Showers 6. Burnin' In L.A. 7. Do The Boogie 8. Bald Headed Woman 9. Goin' Out
LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS Lightnin' (1990 US Prestige Records remastered 10-track vinyl LP. Hopkins was one of the few country bluesmen to have made it big in the rhythm and blues era without having altered his original style or hired a back-up band. Inorder to retain the spontaneity so central to his art, he preferred playing and singing alone or, in the case of this 9 November 1960 session, with minimal accompaniement. And while he picked an acoustic guitar on the date instead of his usual

Tracklisting: 1. Automobile Blues 2. You Better Watch yourself 3. Mean Old Frisco 4. Shinin' Moon 5. Come Back Baby 6. Thinkin' 'Bout An Old Friend 7. The Walkin' Blues 8. Back To New Orleans 9. Katie Mae 10. Down There Baby
