One of the best ways is to use the internet and spend the time to find sites that give you the information you are looking for about a particular record. I wish there was a easy way to know all of the best stamper symbols but when you think of all the vinyl records that were pressed world wide your talking about a very large book. For my favorite lps i may go through many lps to find the one that has that knock your socks off sound. Ahhh the time wasted cleaning those that dont make the grade.
How to find Good Pressings
Hi; I am wondering if someone could suggest a good book, web page, article or any other source that provides information on how to find or identify good pressings. I am getting a little frustrated purchasing records that end up being lemons. Sometimes we just dont have time to audition and it would be nice to learn some of the tricks of the trade when it comes to vinyl digging. I am sure many vinyl lovers feel my pain, so help me out and give some advice to the newbie. Thanks.
