R.E.M. Murmur LP 1983 US Pressing, I.R.S. Records, SP-70604 HOT STAMPER A+++ For Sale

R.E.M. – Murmur
I purchased this copy of Murmur used from Better Records. I\'ve only played it a few times in the years I\'ve owned it.
If you\'re not familiar with Better Records:
\"Our full time staff devotes its time to finding, cleaning and playing as many pressings of an album as we can get our hands on. We take only the best sounding copies – we call them \"Hot Stampers\" – and make them available exclusively to those who appreciate (and can afford) the ultimate in analog sound. We\'re unique in that we\'re the only record dealers who base the price of their records on the quality of their sound. Although we\'ve been finding Hot Stamper pressings for close to forty years, the sale of these exceptional copies has only become the main focus of our business in the last fifteen or so. It began simply enough as a personal quest to find better sounding records for our own collections. As more audiophiles have come to recognize just how impressive a Hot Stamper can be compared with any other pressing, we\'ve evolved to keep up with the demand. We are proud to have established ourselves as the team with both the resources and expertise to carry out this intensely specialized, time-consuming work.\"
Better Records rates this copy of R.E.M. Murmur:
SIDE AA+++ Triple Plus (White Hot Stamper): Our Top Grade, awarded only to sides that sound just right in our experience. The ultimate in sound for that album, often Demo Disc quality. These are very special records, the best we can find.
SIDE BA++ Double Plus (Super Hot Stamper): A side that should be dramatically better than the average copy or any audiophile reissue. An extremely impressive side that will be very hard to beat.
This record has been cleaned with my clearaudio Double Matrix Sonic Record cleaner and stored in a Mobile Fidelity (MoFi) Archival Anti Static inner record sleeve. Of course the original paper inner sleeve is included.
