Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!
Finding a "White Hot Stamper" isn't rocket science. You just need to buy 20 or so copies of Aja or whatever and listen. That's what stamper guy and his crew do-find every AA1006 and cross your fingers. https://www.discogs.com/Steely-Dan-Aja/release/368605 That's what your $400 is paying for- hassle and time sorting thru the mess. Something I REALLY want, I will go thru 3-4 max to find my personal "stamper". They're at least the same pile of junk stamper guy sends his scouts buying from my neighborhood store. I only wish I had the vision 20 years ago to offer such a service. Stamper guy has developed a niche, along with his writing skills hyping up an album. Some of it is a little goofy but it must be working. If I had a top notch 50k+ setup, I would throw down on a couple of classics. |
"Another one, Sinatra-Basie, is also on the way." Great album. The 2nd collaboration is another to look out for-"It might as well be swing" Lots of good ol male chauvinist references in that period of popular music. I have both the stereo/mono press of these albums. The mono press is the one to own. Excellent "Sinatra is in the room" sonics, even without a proper mono cart. Looked at the Sinatra offerings......Yikes! Goodwill White Hots @$300! I will lay out that kind of dough for a real deal R&R stamper, but not my parents music! |
Message to stamper guy if he reads these forums. You're probably seeing a bump in you're business due to this thread. Send a "WHITE HOT STAMPER" to the milliercarbon-gratis. I was thinking.....if someone tried to undercut the business-(1/2 the cost of typical), could you break even at minimum? With the amount of copies of "Hotel California" and "Aja" you need to buy up, all related operating cost(Ecommerce,shipping etc) you will be......BROKE! Writing skills will also need to be honed, because he's learned "selling the sizzle". |
"$1100 used, cost of two white hot stampers." A filtered search reveals most of the current WHS are actually under $400 or so. Bargain-maybe 3-4!! $500 WHS- https://better-records.com/products/simonparsl_2102?_pos=320&_sid=5489088ef&_ss=r https://better-records.com/products/emersemers_2012?_pos=378&_sid=5489088ef&_ss=r LP your friends will say..."YOU PAID WHAT, FOR THAT?!! https://better-records.com/products/ledzeledze4_2101-1?_pos=382&_sid=5489088ef&_ss=r I'm a Zep head, but a LZ IV......? Maybe a Brit LZ1? Which probably would be listed at $8-1K!!! If I graduate to a Techdas, I'm on it!! Good stuff in the WHS category. https://better-records.com/search?q=white+hot I have two Love LP's. Both quite good and pedigreed. De Capo and Forever Changes To think they are potentially $7-$1K is mind-blowing! Guess I'll just keep bin diving in the 3 for $10's. |
