Lightnin' Hopkins - The Complete Prestige / Bluesville Recordings (CD)

all discs look great, HOWEVER, D1 track 18 (the last one) will not rip or play in a CD drive on computer. nothing visually wrong w/ the disc, and it played fine in two different shop players. light edgewear on outer box, and inside seam tape is coming up slightly, but does hold box together well
