Hot Stamper Pressings of Rubber Soul Available Now
Reviews and Commentaries for Rubber Soul
One of our good customers had this to say about some Hot Stampers he purchased recently:
Hi Tom,
I just bought a copy of Rubber Soul from you which sounds amazing. That will cover all the most important Beatles records I have to have on hand. (Beatles for Sale, Help, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Yellow Submarine) that I can afford right now anyway.
Coming across your blog and business has been such a game changer. If I hadn’t run into you, I would just not understand why some records sound amazing, and others don’t and why it matters to clean them (even if brand new), and how to clean them really well.
(Even if I had understood the importance of cleaning them, you’re the only one who cracked the system to get them cleaner than anyone else by a mile. You really figured it out then shared how to clean them. I have my VPI device just waiting on the labels and packaging so I can clean the records most important to me. )
The consistent results you’ve given me has turned this into a certifiable hobby that I can really enjoy. No more mystery as to how this all works, why some records sound amazing and why some records are mediocre despite being an original pressing that cost a lot and appear clean, yet sound mediocre. I appreciate you sharing your 20 years of research and knowledge. This whole thing wouldn’t work without you generously sharing your hard won knowledge.
Andrew,
Thanks for your letter.
Yes, it does indeed all make sense if you don’t listen to a word the self-styled experts of the record world say.
If you play enough records for long enough, eventually you learn something, and we did!
Good to hear that your musical enjoyment has benefited. That is what it is all about.
Best, TP
