Hot Stamper Pressings of the Music of The Beach Boys Available Now
You sure wouldn’t know this was a good recording by playing the crappy reissues Capitol put out on the Yellow Label in 1975.
We found that they tend to suffer from these sonic shortcomings:
They are either dark and recessed, and/or murky and smeary.
There are good Rainbow Label pressings and bad ones. We of course only sell the good ones.
Here is how we described our most recent White Hot shootout winner.
- With two STUNNING Shootout Winning Triple Plus (A+++) sides or close to them, this early Capitol pressing could not be beat.
- This copy gets the midrange right, and since that is where The Beach Boys’ voices are, that puts it ahead of everything else we heard.
- What’s shocking to those of us who have played The Beach Boys records by the bucketful is how rich and open the best pressings of this album are.
- You will have an awfully hard time finding another Beach Boys album that sounds as good as this one, and you may just find that it simply can’t be done.
