Hot Stamper Pressings of the Music of The Beatles Available Now
Seems like our friend ab_ba heard some truly amazing sound on his latest Hot Stamper acquisition, a White Hot Stamper German pressing (the German true stereo pressing being the only version of the album we offer) of Magical Mystery Tour.
Dear Tom,
My WHS of MMT just arrived. This record is a true treasure.
I’ve wanted to hear a copy ever since I read your commentary on how the cellos dig deeper on the best copies of “I Am the Walrus.” [See here.]
I played the various copies I already had, listening to see if I could hear the string section really sweat on any of them. Nope.
But on this copy, the whole sound of that song is simply stunning. When John sings, “I’m crying,” I’m right there with him.
After I Am the Walrus ended, I turned up the volume and played it again. It only got better. The room was filled with sound, everything present, nothing harsh, nothing lacking.
