Discoveries, Misc

Over the many years we’ve been in business, we’ve managed to stumble upon hundreds of titles that have both wonderful music and potentially top quality sound.

They may not be familiar to audiophiles, but we’re hoping to change that fact by offering the best of them to our customers in the form of Hot Stamper pressings.

Alberta Hunter / Amtrak Blues

More Soul, Blues, and R&B

  • A vintage pressing (one of only a handful of copies to hit the site in years) with solid Double Plus (A++) grades from start to finish
  • The sound is absolutely wonderful – Alberta is uncannily present and real on this copy
  • Both of these sides are open, clear and lively as any record you’ve heard in a very long while
  • 4 stars: “Alberta Hunter’s second recording since launching her remarkable comeback (she was 83 when this album was cut) finds the veteran blues singer (a survivor of the 1920s) still in surprisingly strong form and full of spirit.”
