Hot Stamper Pressings of the Music of Talking Heads Available Now
One of our good customers had this to say about some Hot Stamper pressings he purchased a while ago for two of our All Time Favorite Albums: Little Creatures and Armed Forces.
Hey Tom,
Just wanted to let you know I finally played the Little Creatures Hot Stamper last night for the first time. Very, very nice record.
Admittedly, I have more copies of Little Creatures than any sane person should. Many of these copies sound very good, the Hot Stamper is a step above the rest. Great slam. More space between instruments. Love it.
I have spent the last month or so collecting various versions of Elvis Costello – Armed Forces for a shootout. It’s a Top Five record for me and with my daughter heading for college soon, a White Hot copy is out of reach at this point.
First press UK’s, later UK “Porky’s” and first run German “Porky’s” have all been gathered.
Honestly, the whole process is a pain in the ass and very time consuming. The results have been interesting and I have acquired what I believe to be a very good record but it probably would have been cheaper to give you a call.
Keep up the good work.
Sean M.
Sean, I would have been happy to save you the work, we do this kind of thing for a living as you well know.
But you can learn a lot by doing your own shootouts and tracking down your own favorite pressings.
Come to our site to get a ready-to-play, guaranteed killer copy mailed right to your door. (Assuming we have one in stock.)
Best, TP
