White label promo cutting

Sometimes they play quieter because the stampers are new and clean or better vinyl was used.

 

Columbia at the time sounded bright, what are you on about?

 

I received many many "Demo" records and WLPs and they were the same pressing in most instances - and they were received by the record company on the same day just different labeling and they sound exactly the same.

I worked for CBS Records and had friends who worked at other labels in the PR/AR divisions and they supplied me with LPs.

 

Before joining this forum I never looked at WLPs as being anything more than collectors items. Sound quality wasn't really a consideration and it was the same way with most collectors I knew. I still look at them as collectors items actually. I do buy them, as I like having them though

 

I think wlp's are more 'fun' to play. And fun is good. Therefore.... they tend to sound better.
