Our Complete Guide to Record Collecting for Audiophiles
One of our good customers wrote us to tell just how much he liked the Hot Stamper pressing we sent him of Paul Simon’s The Rhythm of the Saints.
I responded by making a few points about the service we offer, and — it should go without saying — the best sounding pressings of your favorite albums, assuming that your favorite albums are the ones we offer on our site.
(Many of our customers agree about how good our records sound, especially the ones like Ryan who did their own shootouts.)
Based on what I am reading, the pressing we sent you is so good it’s practically priceless. But somebody had to put a price on it, and the price we landed on was two hundred bucks.
This is an outrageous amount of money for one record to some people. But not to someone who loves the album and will play it for the rest of his life. Once a month for 40 years comes to $4 a spin. To quote Pete Townshend, I call that a bargain.
If The Rhythm of the Saints is a favorite record of yours, you can now enjoy it for the rest of your life knowing you have a killer copy in your collection waiting to play whenever you damn well feel like it (assuming the kids and the wife are out of the house).
