More Music from Women Who Rock
One of our good customers had this to say about some Hot Stampers he purchased recently:
Hey Tom,
I put on side one of my A+++/A+++ “Dreamboat Annie.”
I’ve found my new Demo Disc.
The drums are from another world. Cranked to the halfway mark on my preamp, I feel the drums and bass in my chest like they’re right here in my living room.
The guitar solo on “Magic Man” is intoxicating — especially the twisting interplay when the second guitar comes in. And when the synthesizer comes in and slides down the scale to hit that low note, I swear the hair on the back of my neck stood up!
The air around the vocals on “Dreamboat Annie” was unbelievable. There’s an ethereal reverb in the opening stanza, just a hint, that I’d never really noticed before. And then the acoustic guitar on center stage grabs you by the lapels, before moving to the right channel so the drums and bass can take center stage and the electric guitar can come crashing in from the left side.
I can actually hear the bass so well, I’m convinced now the bass player is using a pick, rather than just strumming with his fingertips.
This just became my new favorite record. At least, that is, until I try another of my White Hot Stampers … ha!
Thanks for all you’re doing to help me build the right system.

Bill,
Thanks for your letter,
Both Little Queen and Dreamboat Annie easily qualify as Rock Demo Discs when played on big speakers at loud levels, which, as you know, is the only way to listen to them.
