Record labels and manufacturers often mark the product casing to indicate
an "overstock" item that is offered for sale at a price significantly lower
than the manufacturer's selling price.
At OLDIES.com all item numbers
beginning with the prefix "VCL" are special clearance items that contain
this small marking. Because of this small marking, we are able to sell
these items to you at significant discount. Many of the audio CDs that
we advertise for $5.98 and lower are still sold for $15 and higher
elsewhere.
Rest assured, the audio CD is in brand-new condition, as we
do not sell used or second-hand product.
Singer and electric/acoustic Texas Blues guitar player Lightnin' Hopkins' career spanned from the 1920s to the '80s. It's amazing to think that he was a self-taught musician. He was one of the most exciting and well-respected performers ever to hit a stage, and this best-selling CD captures him at his best.
Includes liner notes by Kerry "Chicago Kerry" Kudlacek.
Personnel: Lightnin' Hopkins (vocals, guitar).
Liner Note Author: Kerry Kudlacek.
This album, recorded for Fire Records, is especially interesting because it casts Hopkins in a more R&B-flavored environment. This obvious effort to get a hit makes for some excellent blues; moody and powerful performances play throughout. There's even a charming novelty Christmas blues, "Santa." ~ Tim Sheridan
