"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.
Each 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. In the case of popular titles, there are various versions
because of the use of different plants (RTI, Bill Smith, Classic Pressing Plant) which offers the possibility to have comparisons of various
machines the copies were made on - all of which sound different because of various vibrations from the different machines that are
"pressed" into the vinyl. Yes, according to Hobson, you can hear the difference in machines among the various Test Pressings and production
pressings for that matter. 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."
