Letter of the Week – “I’ve come to expect my socks to get blown off every time.”

Hot Stamper Pressings of the Music of Little Feat Available Now

One of our good customers had this to say about some Hot Stampers he purchased recently:

Hey Tom, 

Stop putting records I want on your site. I’m finding them very difficult to resist. I’ve come to expect my socks to get blown off every time.

The recent Dixie Chicken was no exception, by the way. I dropped the needle on side one and knew within a couple of seconds, “Oh yeah, this is the shit!” My socks were across the room, needless to say.

Robert,

So very glad to hear it.  Such a great album but so hard to find in good condition on the original Green Label.

Here is what we had to say about a recent Hot Stamper pressing of the album.

The All Music Guide (and lots of other critics) think this is Little Feat at their best. With tracks such as “Two Trains,” “Dixie Chicken,” “Fat Man in the Bathtub” and “Roll Um Easy,” who’s gonna disagree?

I guess I am. I prefer Waiting for Columbus and The Last Record Album, but cannot deny that Dixie Chicken is probably the best of the albums that came before them.

Thanks for your letter.

Best, TP
