Beatles, The - Abbey Road - Super Hot Stamper

Beatles, The - Abbey Road - Super Hot StamperFor all you record collectors out there, please note that no pressing from 1969 has ever won a shootout. If you have a nice early UK Apple LP, we would love to sell you one that sounds better than yours, if you can spare the kind of bread we charge for the privilege of owning a Masterpiece of music and sound such as this. This vintage British pressing has the kind of Tubey Magical Midrange that modern records can barely BEGIN to reproduce. Folks, that

No collection is complete without it

In 2008 I had the opportunity to hear Ken speak at an AES meeting here in Los Angeles

Monk’s piano sounds correct from the highest notes all the way down to the lower register

there is little in the recording to criticize

Teo Macero was the producer

The edge and first 90 seconds (approx

Natural tonality in the midrange -- with all the instruments of the orchestra having the correct timbre

What’s not to like

if your system itself has smear -- every tube system I have ever heard has some smear

I have no idea who all is playing but each of the different songs involved different players playing in different groupings: sometimes it’s guitar and organ

this is some serious Demo Disc quality pop sound

Only the best vintage vinyl pressings offer the kind of Tubey Magic that was on the tapes in 1958
