Hot Stamper Pressings of Rock and Pop Albums Available Now
UPDATE 2026
Ran across this listing from all the way back in 2005. It takes shots at badly Half-Speed Mastered records like this awful CBS audiophile pressing of Silk Degrees, as well as the audiophiles who complained about plain old domestic pressings at the time. I should know; I was one of them. Ouch.
Hot Stamper Commentary from 2005
Hot Stampers finally discovered! This is the SWEEETEST, RICHEST, MOST TONALLY CORRECT COPY I have ever heard.
This album has a long history here at Better Records. I used to complain about the CBS Half-Speeds being too bright.
