Hot Stamper Pressings of the Music of Stevie Ray Vaughan Available Now
A good customer bought some SRV Hot Stampers from me a while back. He then told me he was going to spend $400 on the AP SRV Box Set in the hopes that the rave reviews from audiophile reviewers were justified.
The complete story of his disappointment can be found here. An excerpt:
What do you do with the Box Set if you find out these reviewers are full of horse pucky and it sounds as awful as our friend CF say it does? Can you send it back to Acoustic Sounds?
Oh, sorry, you can’t.
Within 30 days of purchase, we will accept returns of any physically or audibly defective or damaged item. We do not guarantee that you will like the music or recording quality of a LP or CD, and personal taste does not qualify as a reason for return.
There is a reason they have that policy. They sell bad sounding records.
We have the opposite policy. You can return any record for any reason within 30 days and get 100% of your money back.
We can do that because we sell good sounding records.
PS from CF
Great stuff, love it. Someone’s gotta keep this industry as a whole accountable. It’s like we’re in the dark ages with just a few devoted monks scouring the libraries and preserving the truth of what once was. Hopefully due to your lifetime’s commitment to this we’ll one day see a renaissance of quality, but it’s looking pretty bleak currently.
Ain’t that the truth.
