LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS Fast Life Woman (Rare 1962 US 10-track vinyl LP on the black and silver Verve label, heavyweight pasted picture sleeve [with EMI import sticker] and detailed liner notes on the reverse. Authentic gritty blues from one of the masters of the genre, mostly just Sam Hopkins and his guitar, this is the blues as social commentary with songs detailing the harder side of life for the average black American pre-civil rights; Penitentiary Blues, Jailhouse Blues, Tim Moore's Farm, Fast Life Woman and more. The sleeve is in superb condition with just a couple of corner bumps to show for its 58 years! Lovely bright colours and no seam splits as is often the case with US releases from this period, the vinyl is even better, with a wonderful bright sheen and very little evidence of play V8453)
