Hot Stamper Pressings of the Music of Steve Winwood Available Now
One of our good customers had this to say about some Hot Stampers he purchased recently:
Hey Tom,
Yesterday I was marveling at the bottom-end and overall clarity of my new Stevie Winwood album.
I think it’s right up there with Miles of Aisles, which sounded so good it made my wife cry (seriously) .
But as always, I came up with a dark thought: Are Hot Stampers the only way to get my system to sound this good?
I have VERY few personally-selected LPs that can compete with a Hot Stamper. Even though I usually buy the “Budget” stampers, it looks like a future of hundred-buck-plus albums for me.

Gordon,
Tears of joy I hope!
The right record can indeed be powerful and moving, enough to bring tears to one’s eyes.
I wrote about having powerful emotional experiences in a commentary that answers the question: “why would you want to go into a room and just play a record by yourself?”
Alas, finding those very special records is hard to do and not cheap, whether we do it or you do it.
We’re glad to know that a hundred dollars can still buy a good record. We have 119 of them in stock at that price as of this writing, and almost as many for $75 and under.
Many of them punch well above their weight sonically because they have condition issues or are titles that are may not be as popular as others we offer. Either way, many of them are great records that deserve a home, preferably a home with a nice turntable. Won’t you help?
