Hot Stamper Pressings of Soundtrack Recordings Available Now
Here is the kind of Living Stereo sound we just can’t get enough of.
We certainly never suspected that this old TAS list warhorse from 1962 could sound the way this early pressing did when it landed on our turntable recently. We’ve been auditioning copies of Hatari for close to forty years. Now it sound like this? Amazing.
Until we played this Shootout Winning copy, we’d never heard the phenomenal amounts of ambience that surrounds the big room full of musicians assembled here, ambience which is clearly audible on the drums which play such an important part in Mancini’s arrangements.
If you’re a fan of big drums in a big room, this is the record for you.
Hearing this album sound the way this copy did was a real thrill, as our notes should make clear:
The notes for side one read:
Track Two
Spacious and Rich
Extended top end
Deep, note-like bass
Track One
Transparent, wide and spacious
Powerful brass, not hot
The notes for track three on side two read:
Lively, jumping out
Present and spacious
