200-gram Vinyl 2xLP
CONDITION:
Brand New - Sealed
Notes:
This pressing has special significance and collectability because it comes from the Michael Hobson ARCHIVES. This is a
truly one of a kind collectible of one of the most valuable and highly sought after Classic Records pressings.
From the start of Classic Records in 1994, Michael Hobson, insisted on having as complete a "personal archive" as
possible, of all varieties and issues of Classic Records' various releases (180g, 200g, Blue Vinyl, etc) as a reference of
what had been done. This Archive was one of the few things Acoustic Sounds did not acquire as part of the deal to buy
Classic in 2010 albeit Chad Kassem has pursued Hobson to buy it ever since.
This piece has an official Classic Records “MH" Archive Sticker on it and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity
hand signed by Michael Hobson personally to assure authenticity and enhance the collectibility over time. Generally, only
5 numbered “MH archive" copies, most often from the first stamper, were added to the Hobson archive. Further, the
Classic Records folklore is that Hobson, insisted on the “best copies” from the “sweet spot” of the pressing run for his
personal archive of 5 numbered copies of each release! It is reported that Hobson personally selected the copies of the
records that went into his archive by listening to 1st stamper pressings to determine when the “stamper” was in the “sweet
spot” and pressing the best sounding records during the run. Further, these records have not been moved from Hobson’s
own climate controlled air-conditioned storage for all these years. This is not only a unique opportunity to own a piece of
Classic Record's history but also the chance to have some of the best production pressings of Classic's various issues
over time. Ridiculously collectible!
