Hot Stamper Pressings of the Music of James Taylor Available Now
Before you play one of our Hot Stamper pressings, be sure to have your system fully warmed up and tweaked to perfection. Then turn up the volume good and loud. You’re about to hear some amazing music with superb sound. Accept no substitutes!
Side One
Sweet Baby James
Lo and Behold
Sunny Skies
James’ voice and the acoustic guitars should be warm, sweet, and surrounded by ambience. On a good copy, one that gets this song right, it’s pure milk and honey.
Steamroller
A big production number with rockin’ guitars and big brass. Some copies will be too bright and aggressive when the horns come in, and the majority of those that aren’t will be too dull on the other tracks. Only a copy with superb tonal balance will sound correct for both the rockers and the ballads.
Country Road
Oh Susanna
For some reason this song is too loud relative to the others on side one, so if you want it to sound right we recommend you bring the volume down a notch or two. (Those of you with a remote on your preamp finally have a good use for it.)
