@lewm It's top secret! They don't want just anyone to be able to dig beat up records out of the bargain bins and sell them for $300. Better Records are the only way to possibly enjoy vinyl, or any kind of recorded music for that matter. You don't even have to ask and someone will tell you so.
Sounds like a hot stamper! Jackpot Records, Willie Nelson, "....and then I wrote"
I just picked up Wilie Nelson's "...and then I wrote", reissued on Jackpot records (1962/2017 reissue).
I cleaned the new vinyl per my protocol. I threw it on the table and focused my attention elsewhere--just for a moment because when the very first song came on I had big grin on my face and said, out loud to myself, "Yes!"
The quality of this record is A+. Stunning. Everything is so smooth, big, clear and defined. No hint of dryness.
This is not an expensive pressing by audiophile standards. If you like these songs and spin vinyl, you should buy it. Somehow I overpaid for it via seller on Discogs when AcousticSounds has it for $20. Highly recommended!

@bdp24 Thanks for taking the time to make that informational post. You make a lot of positive contributions to the site and I appreciate it. I buy a lot of white label promos and they are often very good. I'm aware of the different pressing plants, but have never done comparisons to be able to say that they each have their own sonic characteristics. I have on occasion bought multiple copies of the same title trying to get a "good one". I understand why better records charges what they do and have no issue with that. Supply and demand, cost of business and all that. |
