Roxy Music - Manifesto - White Hot Stamper (Quiet Vinyl)

This vintage Polydor pressing has the kind of Tubey Magical Midrange that modern records can barely BEGIN to reproduce. Folks, that sound is gone and it sure isn’t showing signs of coming back. If you love hearing INTO a recording, actually being able to “see” the performers, and feeling as if you are sitting in the studio with the band, this is the record for you. It’s what vintage all analog recordings are known for — this sound. If you exclusively play modern repressings of vintage recordings, I can say without fear of contradiction that you have never heard this kind of sound on vinyl. Old records have it -- not often, and certainly not always -- but maybe one out of a hundred new records do, and those are some pretty long odds. Good pressings of Manifesto are hard to come by -- this kind of rich, full-bodied, musical sound is the exception, not the rule. And there's actual space and extension up top as well, something you certainly don't hear on most pressings. What The Best Sides
