Hot Stamper Pressings of Sgt. Peppers Available Now
One of our good customers had this to say about some Hot Stampers he purchased a while ago:
Hey Tom,
I never thought, not even for a second, that in my life I’d EVER buy a record for $300. Never Ever!
But here I am. Most records I’d come across in my life were from used/antique stores, and so they were warped, brittle, noisy, or out of tune (a fact I didn’t notice until I graduated from a music college).
But your Beatles “Revolver” and “Sgt. Pepper” – music I’ve known my ENTIRE LIFE – sound like new as Hot Stampers.
I appreciate the fact these records, although expensive, are sold simply on the basis of quality.
In an increasingly fake, plastic “if this one doesn’t work just return it for another broken one” world, you sell a product that is singular and unique. And completely worth every penny.
I appreciate the fact you evaluate the record’s sound (i.e. mastering) as a musician would – focusing on tonal correctness – prizing the record’s ability to accurately reproduce a recording of how instruments actually sound in real life. On its face, it seems so simple, yet it is of utmost importance. Thanks!

Kyle,
Thanks for writing. Glad you think our Hot Stamper pressings were worth what you paid for them. They are indeed expensive, but as you now know firsthand, they deliver the sound they promise.
On the best pressings, Sgt. Pepper is nothing less than a Demo Disc for Tubey Magic.
If you’re looking for Hot Stamper pressings of Tubey Magical rock and pop recordings, we usually have a good supply. They are not cheap, but truly great sounding records rarely are.
We’ve also created a Top Ten for the most Tubey Magical rock and pop albums we’ve ever played. What follows is the complete list, in alphabetical order, limited to one album per artist or group.
We picked Sgt. Pepper for this list even though there are many Tubey Magical titles in their catalog.
Note also that we rarely have more than a couple of these titles in stock at any time. Tubey Magical sound is what analog is all about, so naturally the titles on this list are in very high demand.
- The Beatles / Sgt. Pepper (1967),
- David Bowie / Ziggy Stardust (1972),
- Dire Straits / Self-Titled (1977, and clearly the outlier in this group),
- The Doors / Self-Titled (1967),
- The Eagles / Self-Titled (1972),
- Elton John / Tumbleweed Connection (1970)
- Pink Floyd / The Dark Side of the Moon (1973),
- Cat Stevens / Tea for the Tillerman (1970),
- Ten Years After / A Space in Time (1970)
- The Who / Tommy (1969),
