Ripoff Packaging, Good Music

"This Lost Texas Tapes series is a ripoff. There is only 25-30 minutes' worth of music on each CD. This whole collection could fit on 2 discs, but it's been spread out over 5 separate discs which are being sold separately for the cost of five full-length CD's. There is good music here, but I can't recommend buying it at retail price to anyone. If you're just getting into Lightnin' Hopkins, look at some of the other multi-disc collections first as a better starting point. Anyone who really wants these specific recordings should start looking for secondhand copies or see if they're available on other releases."
DON"T BUY THIS!!!

"Buy this instead, and read my review there and you'll know why: Type in this title "The Little Darlin' Sound of Lightnin' Hopkins: Lightnin' Strikes Twice" and you find a two disc set compiling the complete 5 disc "Lost Texas Tapes" at a fraction of the cost of even one volume of this ripoff."
