One of our good customers had this to say about some Hot Stampers he purchased recently:
Hi Fred,
I received the new copy of America last night. I have been listening to this record for exactly 50 years and I have never heard it sound like this! That big sound and tubey magic is there in abundance, the guitars sound like real guitars, the “jawbone” on Donkey Jaw vibrates forever, and the surface is amazingly quiet as well.
I know that 2020 was hard for everyone, and those of us who spent the year trying to cure kids of cancer while keeping them from catching and dying from COVID had a particularly hard time. I do not know if I would have made it through 2020 without the records that you guys sent me.
It was a great stress relief to come home at night, put on one of my “Better Records,” and be transported back to a simpler time.
Thank you for all that you and the entire team at Better Records do for us.

Bob, glad we could help you get through some tough times. Great albums like this one are just what the doctor ordered.
This is a longtime Better Records favorite for both music and sound. For those of you who love folky, acoustic guitar pop — sometimes referred to as hippie folk rock — you should find a lot to like about this album.
Tubey Magical acoustic guitar reproduction is superb on the better copies of this recording. Simply phenomenal amounts of Tubey Magic can be heard on every strum, along with richness, body and harmonic coherency that have all but disappeared from modern recordings (and especially from modern remasterings).
You can thank Ken Scott for that. He made many of our all time favorite recordings.
