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!

MC Where did I say his copy isn't that good?

MC READ MY POSTING!!!

Uhh, right here?

MC If you want to hear a really good copy though, it will cost a lot more than $20!

Sounds to me like it's really good.

Does anyone know how Hot Stampers acquire and screen their hot stampings?? For example, do they look for low numbers on the inner groove of the LP, showing that the LP in question was one of the first several that came off the master? I’ve always wondered why my LPs that have a label on the jacket saying that they were "for demonstration purposes only" (or words to that effect) are among the best sounding of the LPs I own. Is it the case that demonstration albums were distributed to record stores early on after the release date in order to promote that particular LP?  That would make examples with the "for demonstration only" label highly desirable.
