Lightnin' Hopkins – Blue Lightnin'

Sounds great! Words words words words words words words words

Not the same quality recording as the RVG records (a tall order, I know), but fantastic pressing and mastering in keeping with the esteemed P-Vine label. Another winner.

Addition to my previous review:the reason i mentioned the shrinkwrap is because Japanese pressings do not come in shrinkwrap. They come in a loose polybag, usually the re-sealable kind.

Disappointed with this pressing. I have many Japanese pressings, some of which are from P-Vine and have very pleased with all of them. There are 3 things concerning this pressing, however that I am not pleased with. First thing that got my attention upon opening package is the album was in a tight shrinkwrap. Just tight enough to cause a slight warp, but at least play is not affected. Second, no additional insert(s) with LP. All mint, unopened, unplayed Japanese pressings have at least one insert. The record itself was in an antistatic, antiscratch sleeve. Third and most annoying, extreme surface noise all throughout play, side one being the worst. I am going to keep it but I have ordered one of the US recent re-issues. At least those boast good reviews.

Anyone know how this sounds don't have any experience with P-vine records? Thanks

Don't have another version to compare but this sounds like a fantastic recording and at least a reasonable transfer to vinyl. This version is clear and spacious with rich bass.
