Listening to Tigerlily, a distinct songwriter's voice emerges, one which possesses strength and vulnerability. The lyrics are personal, the arrangements stark and sparse. All in all a pleasant, very beautiful voice, lyrics to savor, and some magic. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Originally released in 1995, Tigerlily still sounds as fresh as it did then. Natalie froze time and space in this her first solo album following her break from 10,000 Maniacs. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Tigerlily was engineered by John Holbrook, who has worked with The Band, Peter Tosh, and the Isley Brothers. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; • Double LP & lt;br & gt; • 180g Vinyl, 45rpm & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections & lt;br & gt; LP 1: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Their self-titled debut instantly established Little Feat as a fresh slice of musical Americana. Led by the songwriting and guitar skills of the late, great Lowell George, Little Feat received nearly unanimous critical acclaim. George's song “Willin'” became an instant classic. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Little Feat was steeped in their love of rock, R & amp;B, blues and country with just a pinch of New Orleans spice. After honing their unique blend in clubs and on the road, they were able to capture the magic of their live shows in the studio. The resulting release, tastefully assisted by guests Ry Cooder on bottleneck slide and Sneaky Pete’s pedal steel, was one of the most unpretentious and timeless recording debuts since “Music from Big Pink”. The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin were among Little Feat's loyal fans; giving proof of their musical influence. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Fortified with some very strong songwriting from both lead guitarist Lowell George and keyboardist Bill Payne, such future Feat classics as Willing’, Truck Stop Girl, Snakes on Everything and Crazy Captain Gunboat Willie, plus a medley tribute to the Howlin' Wolf, help rank Little Feat along side Sailin’ Shoes, Dixie Chicken and Waiting for Columbus as one of their greatest albums. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;[At] the Plaza...the attorney general, staying one floor above us, complained about me playing Little Feat records too loud last night...Band-wise, Little Feat is my favorite American group. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Jimmy Page, interviewed by Cameron Crowe (1975). & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;...and then I met Lowell George. I heard...'Sailin' Shoes' and went crazy. I got in my truck and drove to California...to work with Lowell. I'd have to say Little Feat was the biggest influence...Musically, they're my favorite band. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Bonnie Raitt & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Here’s your chance to own all four essential Little Feat titles— & lt;font color= & quot;#0000FF & quot; & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;a href= & quot;/prodinfo.asp?number=MFSL 1-320 & quot; & gt; & lt;font color= & quot;#0000FF & quot; & gt;Dixie Chicken (MFSL 1-320) & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/a & gt;, 1972's organic rock jamabalaya & lt;a href= & quot;/prodinfo.asp?number=MFSL 1-307 & quot; & gt; & lt;font color= & quot;#0000FF & quot; & gt;Sailin' Shoes (MFSL 1-307) & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/a & gt;, and & amp;nbsp; & lt;a href= & quot;/prodinfo.asp?number=MFSL 2-322 & quot; & gt; & lt;font color= & quot;#0000FF & quot; & gt; Waiting For Columbus (MFSL 2-322) & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/a & gt;. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Also available as Mobile Fidelity Limited Edition 24K Gold CD & lt;a href= & quot;/prodinfo.asp?number=MOBGCD770 & quot; & gt; & lt;font color= & quot;#0000FF & quot; & gt; (MOBGCD770) & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/a & gt; & lt;font color= & quot;#0000FF & quot; & gt; & lt;/font & gt;. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; • New liner notes by legendary producer Russ Titelman.

The Cars The Cars Numbered Limited Edition 180g LP (Vinyl)

& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 284/500! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt;Numbered, Limited Edition! Half-speed Mastered From the Original Analog Tapes! & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;This item not eligible for any further discount offers! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; One of the most successful and enjoyable debuts in history, The Cars’ self-titled album doubles as a greatest-hits collection. That’s because not one song here is unrecognized or unknown. A huge reason why the Boston quintet became America’s most popular new-wave band, The Cars launched eight tracks still regularly heard on radio stations everywhere. Consider the hit list: & quot;You’re All I’ve Got Tonight, & quot; & quot;Good Times Roll, & quot; & quot;Just What I Needed, & quot; & quot;Moving in Stereo, & quot; & quot;My Best Friend’s Girl, & quot; and & quot;Don’t Cha Stop. & quot; If you’re a fan of pop music, this album is a must-have. Just call it the best new-wave rock album ever made. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Led by Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr, the Cars managed to unite then-disparate styles: bubblegum pop melodies, angular art rock, progressive arrangements, and terse minimalism. Orr’s low, understated singing and Ocasek’s cool, detached vocals lend shades of doubt and double meaning to the lyrics, which are further counterbalanced by orchestral keyboard flourishes and electronic beats. The brilliant arrangements also benefit from a laidback cool and understated irony that remain uncommon in the over-the-top world of mainstream music. Obsessed with incorporating the latest technologies and sounds into its palette, the band spiced its tunes with delightfully quirky accents—country-tinged guitar fills, echoing Syndrums, reggae splashes, hard-rock tones and robotic pulses. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The results are the sounds of a creative landmark. At once accessible and eccentric, edgy and catchy, The Cars explode with emotion, energy, and hooks. It’s impossible not to get caught up humming and singing along to every song, an appeal that comes courtesy of Roy Thomas Baker’s stellar production. The legendary producer, best known for his work with Queen, ensured that the record seamlessly packed a smooth midrange, spacious imaging, and call-and-answer choruses in one tight package. Baker’s trademark touches with harmony vocals abound. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; And now, The Cars sounds better than it has in any previous incarnation. Half-speed mastered from the original analog tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered limited-edition LP allows the music’s oscillating rhythms, futuristic keyboard passages, panned stereo images, and rippling textures to be experienced like never before. The songs take on a surreal quality, the Cars manipulating the vibrant music at will to mesmerize the listeners’ senses and hold them at bay. Mobile Fidelity’s unparalleled pressing epitomizes the sensation of & quot;moving in stereo & quot;! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The Cars album & lt;a href= & quot;/prodinfo.asp?number=MFSL 1-324 & quot; & gt; & lt;font color= & quot;#0000FF & quot; & gt; Candy-O (MFSL 1-324) & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/a & gt; & lt;font color= & quot;#0000FF & quot; & gt; & lt;/font & gt; also available on Limited Edition Mobile Fidelity 180g Vinyl. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;We used to joke that the first album should be called The Cars' Greatest Hits, & quot; said lead guitarist Elliot Easton. The Cars' 1978 debut was arty and punchy enough to be part of Boston's New Wave scene and yet so catchy that nearly every track — & quot;My Best Friend's Girl, & quot; & quot;Just What I Needed & quot; — landed on the radio. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - www.rollingstone.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; • Half-speed mastered from original analog tapes & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

The Cars Shake It Up Numbered Limited Edition 180g LP (Vinyl)

& lt;b & gt;This item not eligible for any further discount offers! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Numbered, Limited Edition! Half-Speed Mastered From Original Master Tapes! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; MoFi’s sonically spectacular LP half-speed mastered from the original tapes! The 1981 debut album is a return to pop and a new-wave landmark. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; A return to form after the departure that was 1980’s muddled Panorama, the Cars’ Shake It Up bursts forth with a rich assembly of synthesizers, drum machines, electronic blips, and catchy melodies that make it an early '80s pop staple. Known the world over, the famous title track proves the band’s arrangement skills were in perfect shape and set the stage for a record overflowing with memorable hooks and complementary rock riffs. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Shake It Up also plays witness to primary songwriter/vocalist Ric Ocasek’s increased cynicism and biting wit. While the Cars never took a rosy-eyed view of romance, the songs here impart a newfound sense of sympathy, regret, limbo, and reservation. The beauty of the Cars—and all ten tunes here—is that the music suggests something else entirely. Such subliminal emotions and dynamic contrasts act as a magnet, and the band plays as if it’s in on the secret. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Apart from the party vibe of the title cut, the Cars aim for deeper targets and smarter undertones. Shake It Up is defined by an urban edginess and modern feel that comes alive on tunes such as “Cruiser” and circular “I’m Not the One,” a pop gem laden with stacked vocals and keyboard lines that double as a horn section. The band’s arrangements have never been better—or more involved. Absent the cheesiness that would mar the group’s late-period work, the songs ride on the strength of keyboard-heavy lines and layered harmonies. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Half-speed mastered from the original analog tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered limited-edition LP focuses on the myriad pitch changes that control the musical directions. Recorded at the band’s Synchro Sound studios by famed Queen producer Roy Thomas Baker, the album takes advantage of electronic textures and varying timbres in immersing the listener in accessible albeit abstract washes of sound. MoFi’s engineers made sure to capture every note and nuance; this marks the first time that Shake It Up has been remastered in any way, let alone from the original tapes. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;“They've always cultivated a dark side--girls make boys want to end it all even after the boys have grown up. They've always basked in the shadow of Roxy Music, too. But they've never been so stylishly nightmarish--except for the title cut, even the fast ones don't aim for fun.” & lt;/b & gt; –Robert Christgau, The Consumer Guide & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • Half-Speed Production and Mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab from the Original Master Tapes & lt;br & gt; • Specially Plated and Pressed on 180 grams of High Definition Vinyl & lt;br & gt; • Special Static Free - Dust Free Inner Sleeve & lt;br & gt; • Heavy Duty Protective Packaging & lt;br & gt; • Gatefold jacket & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Ray Charles The Genius Sings The Blues Numbered Limited Edition 180g LP (Mono) (Vinyl)

& lt;b & gt;This item not eligible for any further discount offers! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Featured in Michael Fremer's Heavy Rotation in the April 2011 Issue of Stereophile! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt;TAS Rated 4/5 Music, 3/5 Sonics in the April 2011 Issue of The Absolute Sound! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt;Numbered, Limited Edition! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; This 1961 collection gathers 12 must-have songs from Charles' peak era. Mobile Fidelity has righted the sonic wrongs that plagued earlier versions. You won't find a better-sounding Ray Charles disc. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Genius doesn’t even begin to describe the greatness of The Genius Sings the Blues. Comprised of a dozen songs Ray Charles made between 1952 and 1960, the collection was released in 1961 by Atlantic Records to counter the singer’s migration to rival ABC Paramount. What Atlantic originally underestimated is that the album contained many of Charles’ greatest works, all unified by their bluesy emotions and stirring arrangements. A classic of the soul and R & amp;B canon, The Genius Sings the Blues is a snapshot of the evolution of timeless American music captured by the pianist’s indelible rhythmic pace, gospel roots, jazz backgrounds, and Southern-styled accents. And it’s never sounded so good. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; From the iconic cover art (a photo of Charles taken by legendary photographer Lee Friedlander) to the distinguished music within, everything about the thematic record is iconic. Now, nearly 50 years later, it can be heard in pristine fidelity sourced from the original master tapes. Mobile Fidelity’s engineers have taken great pains to ensure that every clink of the piano keys, ache of Charles’ rolling voice, and rush of the backing arrangements sounds better than they have since first being recorded in the studio. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Previous editions of The Genius Sings the Blues suffered from varying levels, distracting static and noise, and inconsistent vocal balances. Mobile Fidelity has gone back to the master tapes to correct these problems, giving music lovers what is now unquestionably the best-sounding Charles album to stem from his peak era. And he’s simply on fire. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Whether inhabiting the sadness in “Night Time (Is the Right Time)” or personifying the loss of “Hard Times,” Charles invests each song with supreme emotion and undeniable conviction that makes the lyrics ring true and the blues resonate with cathartic pathos. Uptempo country blues numbers (“I’m Movin’ On, “Early in the Mornin’”) balance the mournful slow fare, and again prove Charles a master composer, interpreter, and musician who could make any style his own. The Genius Sings the Blues also speaks to legendary jazz pianist Billy Taylor’s initial impressions of Charles upon hearing him in a way in which few other Charles recordings do. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Taylor recalled: & lt;b & gt;“While playing through some new music for a projected Ruth Brown record date, I was asked to listen to an original song played and sung by a young composer and pianist from Seattle, Washington. I can still remember how surprised I was to hear this kind of music from a Northwesterner. He reminded me of Charles Brown, another pianist-singer who was very popular in the Forties, but he had a very personal sound and there was something different about his rhythmic approach. In his handling of melody he seemed to be using devices similar to those used by Dinah Washington and a small group of popular singers who allowed their gospel singing backgrounds to influence their interpretation of popular songs... I was intrigued by the emotional quality projected by both his piano playing and his unusual voice and was not surprised when Ahmet Ertegün said that he wanted to let the young musician record some of his own material. ‘He communicates just like the old blues singers,’ Ahmet said. & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Indeed, that innate blues aesthetic dominates this collection, as does Charles’ distinctive rhythmic mannerisms. Finally, hear them as they’ve always been intended to be experienced. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Mobile Fidelity has now remastered the original mono master tape-revealing both its beauty and its warts with startling clarity. The beauty, of course, lies in the music. & quot; & lt;/b & gt;- Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound Magazine, April 2011, Issue 212 & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Half-Speed Mastering from the Original Master Tapes! Specially Plated and Pressed on 180 Grams of High Definition Vinyl! & lt;/b & gt;! & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Foreigner Foreigner on Numbered Limited-Edition 180g LP from Mobile Fidelity. Blockbuster 1977 Debut Packed With Anthemic Classic Rock Hits and Heroic Guitar Riffs. Feels Like the First Time: You've Never Heard Foreigner Sound So Immediate, Detailed, Warm, and Dynamic in Analog! System-Testing Sonics: Half-Speed Mastered from the Original Master Tapes! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Blissful feelings arise at the mere mention of 70s arena rock. It gives listeners the permission to have fun, sing along to aircraft-hangar-size choruses, play air guitar solos, forget about any troubles, recall the experience of a first kiss, and quite simply, rock out. Few albums better instill these pleasures than Foreigner’s 1977 self-titled debut album, a five-times platinum blockbuster chock full of salacious riffs, soaring vocals, edgy beats, and lyrics that practically demand to be shouted. And while the record has always boasted clean, immediate production, never before has it exploded with the dynamic intensity and rich transparency now made possible on Mobile Fidelity’s dynamic 180g LP. This is what rock n’ roll dreams are made of. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Spearheaded by guitar hero Mick Jones, fresh off success with Spooky Tooth, Foreigner rallied around a talented collective pulled from the U.S. and U.K. Joining up with former King Crimson instrumentalist Ian McDonald and drummer Dennis Elliott, as well as keyboardist Al Greenwood and bassist Ed Gagliardi, Jones completed the puzzle with the addition of extraordinary singer Lou Gramm, whose vocal timbre and limitless pipes remain one of the most instantly identifiable combinations in music. Before long, two eternal radio classics—“Feels Like the First Time” and “Cold As Ice,” composed on a miniature piano and inspired by Hollywood star Joan Crawford—were in the bag. Eight more tunes, each as solid as those that came before, followed, and Foreigner quickly became an overnight rock sensation. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; In contrast to much of the era’s angrier fare and crudely produced music, Foreigner stood out by way of its clean, muscular, professional production. Still, Mobile Fidelity believed that underneath the surfaces, an even fresher, bigger-sounding record loomed. Half-speed mastered from the original master tapes, MoFi’s 180g LP presents the sextet’s roof-raising anthems and scintillating blend of guitars, synths, and Gramm’s soulful vocals across a wider, deeper soundstage than ever before imagined. Instrumental separation, tonal balance, and imaging are absolutely superb. Better still, the songs come across with an assertive liveliness that adds to their enjoyment, structure, and melodic character. The accessory flutes, saxophones, and synthesizer solos have never sounded so enmeshed within the overall sonic fabric. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Get ready to hear your new favorite 70s rock album and push the limits of your system’s dynamics! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • Half-Speed Production and Mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab & lt;br & gt; • Specially Plated and Pressed on 180 Grams of High Definition Vinyl & lt;br & gt; • Special Static Free/Dust Free Inner Sleeve & lt;br & gt; • Heavy Duty Protective Packaging & lt;br & gt; • Mastered from the Original Master Tapes & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Lou Gramm, lead vocals & lt;br & gt; Mick Jones, lead guitar, vocals & lt;br & gt; Ian McDonald, guitars, keyboards, horns, vocals & lt;br & gt; Al Greenwood, keyboards, synthesizer & lt;br & gt; Ed Gagliardi, bass, vocals & lt;br & gt; Dennis Elliott, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; & lt;/b & gt;1.

Half-Speed Mastered from the Original Master Tapes: Punchy, Immediate, Deep Sound! & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The Pretenders Learning to Crawl on Numbered Limited Edition 180g LP from Mobile Fidelity. 1984 Smash the Sound of a Band Overcoming Tragedies and Staggering Odds With Gutsy Performances. vigorous Determination and Solemn Reflectiveness Pepper Hits Such as & quot;Back on the Chain Gang, & quot; & quot;2000 Miles, & quot; & quot;My City Was Gone & quot;. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; What is the sound of a fledgling band dealing with multiple tragedies, coming to terms with drastic changes, digging deep into its consciousness, finding resolution in hurt, and overcoming staggering odds to record a bonafide masterwork? It's the sound of every note that graces the Pretenders' Learning to Crawl. Still recognized as one of the most emotionally gripping and musically gutsy performances ever made, the smash 1984 album hasn't aged a day. And now, it sounds better than could ever be imagined. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Half-speed mastered from the original master tapes, Learning to Crawl finally possesses the combination of whisper-in-your-ear intimacy and nerve-checking toughness that it's always demanded on Mobile Fidelity's super-quiet analog LP. Leader Chrissie Hynde's voice is made viscerally apparent, wavering between vigorous determination and solemn reflection, while drummer Martin Chamber's punchy backbeats register with requisite punch. To say nothing of how fresh the effort's hit singles ( & quot;Middle of the Road, & quot; & quot;Back on the Chain Gang & quot;) and incredible deep cuts sound. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The story behind Learning to Crawl is directly connected to the powerful, moving music within. After releasing two records that swept the world by storm (Pretenders and Pretenders II), the group's fortunes reversed after guitarist James Honeyman-Scott was found dead of a drug overdose in 1982. Shortly thereafter, founding member Pete Fardon, fired just two days before his partner's death, also succumbed to an overdose, leaving the band's state in tatters. Would there still be a Pretenders? & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Hynde answers this question with a resounding & quot;yes & quot; on Learning to Crawl, which still contains signs of the band's early, street-wise rawness but also adds new wrinkles, with more streamlined melodies, sensitive ballads, and reflective tones. & quot;Back on the Chain Gang, & quot; the Pretenders' most commercially successful hit, functioned as a bittersweet tribute to her ex-mates while the Christmas-themed & quot;2000 Miles & quot; holds rank as one of the most effecting, penetrating love songs of Hynde's career. Throughout the record, the Pretenders are again one. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; New guitarist Robbie McIntosh supplies simpler, bluesier, basic guitar lines and the foursome know how to all-out rock, with the furious & quot;Middle of the Road & quot; and socially conscious & quot;My City Was Gone & quot; testifying to a stinging, thrilling sensibility that can exist only because of the devastation that the band survived. Call it the rise of the phoenix or triumph of the human will, but any way you see it, Learning to Crawl occupies a rare territory--akin to the space referred to on the superb cover of & quot;Thin Line Between Love and Hate & quot;--that registers in the pits of the human soul. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Whether you've grown up with this album, heard it in college, or are just learning about it now, Mobile Fidelity's expertly mastered 180g LP version is the only analog edition worth owning. Hear Hynde and Co.'s cathartic, transcendent effort in all its full splendor, and, like the Pretenders, refuse to settle for less. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered by Krieg Wunderlich at Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, Sebastopol, CA on The Gain 2 Ultra Analog System. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • Half-Speed Production and Mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab & lt;br & gt; • Specially Plated and Pressed on 180 grams of High Definition Vinyl & lt;br & gt; • Special Static Free - Dust Free Inner Sleeve & lt;br & gt; • Heavy Duty Protective Packaging & lt;br & gt; • Mastered from the Original Master Tapes & lt;br & gt; • Gatefold Jacket & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side 1: & lt;br & gt; & lt;/b & gt;1.

Foreigner 4 Numbered Limited Edition 180g LP (Vinyl)

Half-Speed Mastered from the Original Master Tapes: Sonics Open Window to Mutt Lange's Direct Production! & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Foreigner 4 on Numbered Limited Edition 180g LP from Mobile Fidelity. #1 1981 Album Teems With Hits: & quot;Urgent, & quot; & quot;Waiting for a Girl Like You, & quot; & quot;Juke Box Hero & quot;. Foreigner's Most Consistent, Economical, and Cleanly Produced Record. Be A Juke Box Hero: Sound Will Rattle Your Walls and Shake Your Windows! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Want to be a juke box hero? Here’s your chance. Featuring Mutt Lange’s spotless production, contributions from Motown legend Junior Walker and new-wave icon Thomas Dolby, no less than three huge singles, and Foreigner’s most economical performances, 4 is classic-rock nirvana, a model of crystalline pop-rock melodies and lighter-flicking balladry. More than six million copies later, the 1981 record is still rightly discussed as a front-to-back masterpiece of precision, power, and economy. It’s an album that demands to be experienced in the highest-possible fidelity. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Half-speed mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s 180g LP presents 4 in a room-filling, stadium-big sound that simply crushes what’s heard on all prior versions. Replete with energetic rockers such as “Urgent,” “Night Life,” and “Woman In Black,” the record benefits from a sonic facelift that opens up the previously compressed dynamics, expands the dimensions of the soundstage, dials in a clear path to the instrumental images, and erases the ceiling that pressed down on Lou Gramm’s superhuman vocals. For the first time, Lange’s obsessive, detail-oriented production can be enjoyed in all its splendid glory. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Fresh off blockbuster success with AC/DC’s Back In Black, Lange uses his magic touch on 4, pairing with guitarist Mick Jones who, armed with the best batch of riffs of his career, shared a the producer’s sentiment for discipline, efficiency, and cleanliness. And so, on crisp tunes like “Break It Up,” pianos and hard-hitting guitars share the same space without ever impinging on one another or overstepping boundaries. The winning formula also propels Top 5 hits like the wildly funky “Urgent,” sent to new heights by Walker’s dazzling saxophone solo, and the touching “Waiting for a Girl Like You,” a crossover smash that introduced Foreigner to soft-rock and adult-pop audiences. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Simply stated, 4 has everything: Rowdy frustration-releasing cuts, fiery rock n’ roll tunes, heartfelt torch songs, and synth-drenched pop numbers. The playing throughout positively smokes, as the one-two punch of Gramm and Jones lands with both emotional and musical impact every time. There's not a single wasted note. And, reduced to a quartet, Foreigner seems bent on making more with less, just as Lange does with the polished production. This is 42 minutes of hard-rocking bliss. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Accept no substitute. Mobile Fidelity’s collectible audiophile edition will rattle your walls and shake your windows. Be prepared to tap every reserve available from your amplifiers. And play it LOUD! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • Half-Speed Production and Mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab & lt;br & gt; • Specially Plated and Pressed on 180 grams of High Definition Vinyl & lt;br & gt; • Special Static Free - Dust Free Inner Sleeve & lt;br & gt; • Heavy Duty Protective Packaging & lt;br & gt; • Mastered from the Original Master Tapes & lt;br & gt; • Gatefold Jacket & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;br & gt; & lt;/b & gt;Mick Jones, lead guitar, keyboards, background vocals & lt;br & gt; Lou Gramm, lead vocals, percussion & lt;br & gt; Dennis Elliott, drums, background vocals & lt;br & gt; Rick Wills, bass guitar, background vocals & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side 1: & lt;br & gt; & lt;/b & gt;1.

Half-Speed Mastered from the Original Master Tapes: Sound Explodes With Tremendous Dynamics, Soaring Vocal Timbres! & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Foreigner Double Vision on Numbered Limited Edition 180g LP from Mobile Fidelity. Epitome of Catchy, Punchy, Memorable Album Oriented '70s Rock. & quot;Hot Blooded, & quot; & quot;Double Vision & quot; Among the Huge Hits That Propelled 1978 LP to Blockbuster Status. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; So much for sophomore jinxes that almost always go hand-in-hand with groups that explode onto the scene. Overflowing with first-rate songwriting, lascivious hooks, and sing-a-long choruses, Foreigner’s Double Vision lays waste to conventional sophomore-release wisdom and went on to actually exceed the popularity of the band’s blockbuster debut. More than seven million copies and two Top Five singles later, the 1978 set still rocks with definite purpose. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Half-speed mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s collectible audiophile 180g LP of this longtime favorite classic-rock staple bursts with tremendous dynamics, soaring vocal timbres, bottom-end punch, and newfound instrumental separation. Sure, you may have heard songs such as “Double Vision” and “Hot Blooded” countless times, but trust us, you’ve never really heard them (outside of an arena setting, stadium amplifiers blaring) like this. You may just find yourself investing in a new power amp to get every last degree of detail that’s been uncovered! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Synonymous with AOR (album-oriented rock), Foreigner essentially perfects the style throughout this concise, focused, down-and-dirty ten-song set. The key to any memorable '70s rock record is a catchy single, and the quintet has several lying in the waiting. The title track, inspired by New York Rangers goalie John Davidson getting whacked in the head by a hockey puck, spills over with double-entendre meaning, tough-cut riffs, and a rotating groove, not to mention a mystical keyboard refrain. Equally memorable, and a permanent part of any radio station’s rotation, “Hot Blooded” is the ideal come-on, the group’s open-ended rhythm and dance-inspiring beats pouring with promise, salaciousness, and ass-kicking sexuality. A terrific power ballad infused with woe and longing, “Blue Morning, Blue Day” features insistent harmonies and piano notes that grab you by the collar and doesn’t let go. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Of course, great songs alone don’t make for great records. The band’s chemistry and performance needs to be on par with that of the material. And what else can be said of leather-lunged vocalist Lou Gramm and guitar-hero Mick Jones save for the fact the pair combine for a legendary one-two punch, leading their mates through sensational melodies and swaggering leads. Seldom has the balance between tough and polished, light and heavy, fun and reserved been better established and maintained. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Ready to rock out? Wait until you hear Mobile Fidelity’s analog remaster. It’ll bring back (double) visions of hot stage lights, dry-ice fog, feel-good times, and amplifiers cranked to 10—only this time, the experience will take place inside the confines of your own home. Check it and see! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • Half-Speed Production and Mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab & lt;br & gt; • Specially Plated and Pressed on 180 grams of High Definition Vinyl & lt;br & gt; • Special Static Free - Dust Free Inner Sleeve & lt;br & gt; • Heavy Duty Protective Packaging & lt;br & gt; • Mastered from the Original Master Tapes & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Pressed at RTI! & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; A 1980s Landmark: Ex-Depeche Mode Member Vince Clarke and Vocalist Alison Moyet Create Synthpop Classic & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Smoky Blues Purring, Cool Jazz Vibes, Disco-Tinged Beats, and Dancefloor Minimalism Add Up to Electropop Genius & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; All the Grooves Hit the Low-Frequency Targets: LP Mastered on Mobile Fidelity’s World-Renowned Mastering System and Pressed at RTI & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Includes Hits “Don’t Go,” “Situation,” and “Only You” & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The 1980s will forever be remembered for electropop sensations, yet few, if any, are quite as sensational as Yazoo’s Upstairs at Eric’s. A standard-setting mélange of smoky blues singing, jazzy arrangements, disco-tinged beats, and dancefloor vibes, the smash debut fits equally as well at a late-night club as it does in a living room, where the record’s complexity and exoticism takes listeners hostage. No wonder the 1982 landmark remains one of the decade’s most essential albums. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered on Mobile Fidelity’s world-renowned mastering system and pressed at RTI, this numbered limited edition Silver Label LP breathes with a decongested openness, textural richness, and tonal palette never before experienced on previous analog or digital editions. Alison Moyet’s inimitable vocals, such a huge part of the record’s appeal, are dramatically enhanced, her sensual timbre, bittersweet crooning, and knockout range now encompassing the full frequency spectrum and projecting outward in a way that traverses the flatness of the original pressings. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Indeed, her bluesy deliveries are at once elegant and exuberant, and give collaborative partner Vince Clarke free range to construct beat architectures that encompass freewheeling disco, house music, uptempo dance, and chilled-out pop. The former Depeche Mode member also layers on elegant keyboard melodies, establishing contagious hooks and electronic-laced landscapes that preceded the techno explosion and do so with a cooler elegance. Tape loops, random field-noise dialogues, and synth-stroked bass notes add to what’s nothing less than a perfect collusion of moody paranoia and soulful warmth. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; While a cousin to synth-pop LPs by the likes of the Eurythmics, Soft Cell, OMD, and Depeche Mode, Yazoo’s Upstairs at Eric’s is singular for its chemistry between Moyet and Clarke — and a carefree batch of songs high on emotion, style, and substance. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Get your collector’s copy of this quintessential 1980's masterpiece today! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;About Silver Series: & lt;/b & gt; Coming from Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, the MoFi Silver Label Vinyl Series features an eclectic mix of recordings.

[T]he congestion-free download means that Crosby, Stills and Nash’s signature harmonies shine. The next biggest change for the better arrives via the massive bottom end; by comparison, the original seems rolled-off for AM airplay. Throughout, there is vast space, with a three-dimensional feel fully realized. You’ll be looking for the surround-sound speakers. Vocal harmonies are distinct and feel considerably larger than life—a testament to the studio craftsmanship of the late 70s. Lastly, every track is dynamic, with drums leaping from the speakers. Plus, the initial piano attacks explode. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Jeff Dorgay, TONEAudio Magazine, No. 52, January 2013 & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • Numbered & lt;br & gt; • MoFi Silver Label Vinyl Series & lt;br & gt; • Mastered and Cut on the famous MoFi Sound Lab state-of-the-art Tim de Paravacini-designed mastering system & lt;br & gt; • Pressed at RTI on Audiophile-Grade Standard Vinyl & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

No female artist’s debut better epitomized MTV’s vivid heyday and the smart intersection of self-reliant female politics, savvy hooks, and vibrant imagery than Cyndi Lauper’s She’s So Unusual. Long before Lady Gaga, and before Madonna embraced any traits resembling punk, the New York native ushered in a new wave of commercial pop while flaunting an exuberant confidence that, overnight, influenced a generation to dye their hair and embrace life with newfound vibrancy. Girls, indeed, just wanted to have fun. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered on Mobile Fidelity’s internationally acclaimed mastering system and pressed at RTI, this Silver Label LP rescues the music from long-standing harshness and disadvantageous brittleness. Back on vinyl for the first time in decades, the multi-platinum 1984 blockbuster sounds completely anew, possessing crisper beats, a fleshed-out midrange, no artificial ceilings, and a clear alleyway to Lauper’s girlish voice. Finally, the sonics possess the wide spectrum of colors that flavor the songs. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Helmed by the anthem “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” She’s So Unusual transformed pop culture by way of Lauper’s charismatic personality, whimsical attitude, lively performances, unique timbre, witty humor, and unabated passion. Throughout, she’s a whirlwind of emotion and cyclone of spirit, tackling carefree party tracks with the same verve she sings arresting ballads. And while for most it would be a deterrent, Lauper sculpts her chirpy, bop-friendly voice to her advantage, underscoring each song’s combination of sentimentality and rebelliousness. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; “With a voice that combined the cartoon soul of Little Eva and the wink-wink naughtiness of Betty Boop, Lauper may have backed away from the depth or urgency of the writers whose work she mainstreamed, but her transformation of their power into sheer pop was ultimately subversive — giggling all the way, she incited legions of mall rats into orange-hair rebellion and a measure of self-assertion,” wrote Paul Evans for The New Rolling Stone Album Guide, hinting at the record’s normally unseen depth. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Whether viewed as a subversive new-wave crossover statement or simply as a celebratory declaration of individualism (or, both), She’s So Unusual is a 1980s landmark and influential harbinger of the role women would play in both rock and pop. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;About Silver Series: & lt;/b & gt; Coming from Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, the MoFi Silver Label Vinyl Series features an eclectic mix of recordings.

Having witnessed his bandmates leave, singer Andrew Eldritch recruited bassist Patricia Morrison, utilized a groundbreaking drum machine, and hooked up with Meat Loaf collaborator Jim Steinman to attain a glorious, bombastic, and irrepressible marriage of gothic rock and sumptuous balladry. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered on Mobile Fidelity’s world-renowned mastering system and pressed at RTI, this Silver Label LP improves the record’s splendid dynamic contrasts, low-end thrust, expansive dimensionality, and moody atmospherics. Steinman’s unforgettable sonic contributions finally receive proper due in the form of towering choruses and operatic heft. The group’s signature epic “The Corrosion,” described by Eldritch as a narrative about “power in the face of misery,” sounds downright staggering, with an awe-inspiring performance by the New York Chorale Society and blooming classicism. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Throughout, the Sisters of Mercy traverse myriad styles in breaking down goth-rock conventions. As on the band’s noisier debut First and Last and Always, brooding emotions, nocturnal episodes, and dim sentiments gloss over the songwriting. Yet there’s a colossal amplification of evocative spirituality, delicate accents and anthemic riffs that combine with funky drum-machine beats and visceral tension to yield music that dares listeners not to dance and/or lift their hands skyward. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Rhythms play as large a role as the leader’s trademark stentorian vocals, with thundering grooves and crashing percussion illuminating incisive lyrics and industrial-tinted scenery. Whether felt via the dramatic waves of “Lucretia My Reflection,” balladic sweep of “1959,” or charging protest of “Dominion/Mother Russia,” Floodland is a touchstone, topped off by iconic cover art that fits in with today’s vampire-obsessed society as well as it did upon release in 1987. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;About Silver Series: & lt;/b & gt; Coming from Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, the MoFi Silver Label Vinyl Series features an eclectic mix of recordings.

Bob Dylan Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Numbered Limited Edition 45rpm 180g 2LP (Vinyl)

& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits on Numbered Limited Edition 180g 45RPM 2LP from Mobile Fidelity! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Mastered from the Original Master Tapes, Five-Times Platinum Collection of Dylan's World-Changing Singles Spanning 1963 Through 1966 & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Experience These Precedent-Setting Songs in the Best Fidelity Possible: Wider Grooves Translate into More Information, Detail & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Includes Anthems Such as & quot;Blowin' in the Wind, & quot; & quot;The Times They Are A-Changin', & quot; & quot;Like A Rolling Stone, & quot; and & quot;Mr. Tambourine Man & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Ten songs that ultimately changed the world. Ten songs pulled from precedent-establishing albums recorded between 1963 and 1966. More than five-million copies sold. In every way, Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits is a fundamental collection for every music lover, and the perfect choice for those seeking an introduction into the legend's vast career. For this is a collection so prized, even the cover photo won a Grammy. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Mastered from the original master tapes on Mobile Fidelity’s world-renowned mastering system and pressed at RTI, this restored 45RPM analog version offers listeners of all stripes to hear some of the world’s most important music ever recorded in supreme fidelity. & lt;/b & gt; While the tracks stem from several different albums, on this release, they share more in common than Bob Dylan—they share rich, sonic traits steeped in astounding dynamics, great balances, tremendous soundstaging, and realistic imaging. Wider grooves mean more information reaches your ears. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Greatest-hits volumes are often hit-and-miss propositions not because of what they contain, but because of what’s missing. Filtering the top selections from the six formative, life-altering albums Dylan made between 1963 and 1966 is an arbitrary process but one performed impeccably on this set. Home to his biggest chart successes as well as his most influential songs, Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hits is a veritable template for any aspiring singer-songwriter, an American history lesson, and a seminal release for anyone new to his work—as well as for audiences that find some of his deeper cuts an acquired taste. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Every signature facet of Dylan is represented, and done so authoritatively. Serious, protest folk anthems (“Blowin’ in the Wind,” “The Times Are A-Changin’”) sit alongside defiant rock statements (“Positively Fourth Street”), landscape-changing epics (“Like a Rolling Stone”), beautiful blues-inspired odes (“I Want You”), and surrealist dreamscapes (“Subterranean Homesick Blues”). Infused with literary poetry, impassioned emotion, and career-making performances, this material doubles as a definitive account of American culture and society, and functions as a soundtrack to the era’s social movements. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Gathered in one place, it’s no wonder the songs here gave Dylan what remains the biggest-selling album of his career.

Los Lobos Kiko Numbered Limited Edition 180g LP (Vinyl)

Mastered From Original Master Tapes! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Distinguished Band's Ambitious 1992 Album Stands as Peak Moment in a Career Filled With High-Water Marks & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Gloriously Multidimensional Sonics Yield Colorful Quilt of Textures and Subtleties: Mobile Fidelity Reissue Exposes Use of Studio as an Instrument & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Rollicking Blues, Cabaret Jazz, Otherworldly Lullabies, Snarling Rock, and More Fill Landmark Set & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Only a few years removed from breaking through with their cover of & lt;b & gt;Ritchie Valens’ & quot;La Bamba, & quot; & lt;/b & gt; Los Lobos turned even more heads with Kiko, a & lt;b & gt;beautifully textured and flawlessly executed musical statement that reveals the group taking on ambitious musical challenges and surmounting every one. & lt;/b & gt; In pairing with producer Mitchell Froom, the band yielded this critically acclaimed & lt;b & gt;1992 set that remains the apex of its distinguished career. & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered from original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s 180g LP version of Kiko presents the record in previously unimaginable fidelity. In particular, Froom’s exquisite production can now be experienced in full relief, with the vintage tape-loop keyboards and spare arrangements yielding an ethereal feel, otherworldly ambience, and colorful finish that complement the ace playing. The subtleties of the richly detailed backdrops—splashed with distortion, feedback, random sound effects, sonorous horns, ominous chants, delicately plucked harps—are greatly enhanced, turning the multifaceted Kiko into the aural equivalent of a sensational IMAX presentation. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The material, too, ravishes the senses. In & lt;b & gt;Rolling Stone's & lt;/b & gt; original review of Kiko, David Okamoto remarks & lt;b & gt; & quot;the music sounds more created than contrived, thanks to the compassionate touch of the group's main songwriters, singer-guitarist David Hidalgo and drummer Louis Pérez. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; Indeed, the Los Angeles ensemble tackles tough-minded social issues such as alcoholism, suicide, abuse, homelessness, death, and rape without coming across as preachy or melodramatic. The record’s power relates to that possessed by the most timeless albums—the emotional and metaphysical capacities to transcend problems, overcome adversity, and deliver catharsis. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Spanning rollicking blues and dreamy pop balladry to snarling rock and traditional Mexican-inspired waltzes, Kiko seemingly knows no bounds. Lullabies such as “Saint Behind the Glass” claim mellifluous elegance while the cabaret-laced jazz of work like “Kiko and the Lavender Moon” glows with a dark majesty, thanks to both the skilled performance and Froom's illuminating production. Los Lobos seldom, if ever, drifted so far outside of the roots-rock box as they do on Kiko. And yet, the collective’s binding connection to folklore remains in tact. Native American, Hispanic, and Catholic elements surface in the lyrics and arrangements, the characteristics expressing a multicultural reach that parallels the songs’ multidimensional construction. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; And still, it remains impossible to ignore the use of the studio as the record’s secret-weapon instrument. Imaginative tricks such as noise gates, filters, and psychedelic devices help establish a surrealism that never lets up. Neither does Kiko. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Seen from any angle, Kiko is a landmark recording. Experience it in the best possible fidelity. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • Production and Mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab & lt;br & gt; • Specially Plated and Pressed on 180 grams of High Definition Vinyl & lt;br & gt; • Special Static Free - Dust Free Inner Sleeve & lt;br & gt; • Heavy Duty Protective Packaging & lt;br & gt; • Mastered from the Original Master Tapes & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Before the Chairman hit the stage in Vegas, Count Basie and his big band warmed up the already enthusiastic crowd with a brief set of their own. A dynamite entertainer, the legendary leader causes hearts to race, hips to shake, and fingers to snap with high-energy readings of his trademark swing music, taken to feverish heights by both his first-rate orchestra and the incredibly swank setting. Fortunately, the finest of Basie and Co.’s introductory performances from the historic 1966 dates have been preserved here and serve as a seminal complement to Frank's iconic Sinatra at the Sands. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed at RTI, Mobile Fidelity’s analog version of Live at the Sands (Before Frank) gives you a dead-center, eighth-row seat at the famed Sin City club. You’ll just need to supply your own table and cocktail. Renowned for its sonic clarity, transparency, crispness, and punch, the record is now tremendously enhanced, with improved tonality, a deeper soundstage, correct balances, and life-like presence. Each horn occupies its own space, and Basie’s transfixing piano — a focal point throughout — resonates with gorgeous detail and impeccable pacing. The collective’s energy almost demands to be measured with an SPL meter. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Captured in late January and early February 1966, Live at the Sands (Before Frank) contains most of Basie’s signature pieces delivered with an enthusiasm, style, and brassiness that exceed that gracing nearly any of the Count’s studio efforts. His band is stacked to the nines, with tenor saxophonist Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis, saxophonist/flautist Eric Dixon, and drummer “Sonny” Payne among the prized cast. The Sands dates marked the first time in years that these players, as well as trombonist Al Grey, gathered onstage together. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Encouraged by Basie, the instrumentalists engage in a series of call-and-response passages and standout solos, not the least of which is Davis’ turn on a white-hot “Jumpin’ at the Woodside” and he and Dixon’s exchanges on “This Could Be the Start of Something Big.” No slouch, Basie approaches “Makin’ Whoopee” with graceful playfulness, and oversees the assortment of up-tempo swing numbers and mellow ballads with astute melodicism. A sublime version of the Don Gibson country standard “I Can’t Stop Loving You,” arranged by Quincy Jones, can almost be considered a bonus. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; No, it don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing - and Basie and his mates have plenty of it on this superb outing. Big-band jazz seldom enjoyed such levels of rhythmic precision, expert charts, or unfettered joy. Unbelievably, this gem has been out of print for years, with original copies both on vinyl and CD commanding steep prices. Mobile Fidelity’s reissue restores not only the sonics but the record’s place in jazz history. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Production and Mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab & lt;br & gt; • Specially Plated and Pressed on 180 grams of High Definition Vinyl & lt;br & gt; • Special Static Free - Dust Free Inner Sleeve & lt;br & gt; • Heavy Duty Protective Packaging & lt;br & gt; • Mastered from the Original Master Tapes & lt;br & gt; • Pressed at RTI & lt;br & gt; • Mastered by Krieg Wunderlich & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Count Basie, piano & lt;br & gt; Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis, tenor saxophone & lt;br & gt; Eric Dixon, saxophone, flute & lt;br & gt; “Sonny” Payne, drums & lt;br & gt; Al Grey, trombone & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; LP 1 - Side 1: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Jerry Garcia & David Grisman Jerry Garcia & David Grisman Numbered Limited Edition 180g 2LP (Vinyl)

& lt;b & gt;This item not eligible for any further discount offers! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Jerry Garcia and David Grisman Garcia/Grisman on Numbered Limited Edition 180g 2LP from Mobile Fidelity! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Contemporary Interest in Roots Music Kick-Started by Stellar Grammy-Nominated 1991 Collaboration & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Recording Now As Realistic, Natural, Close-Up, Intimate, and Enveloping as Any Acoustic Record Released: 1st Time-Ever on LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Garcia and Grisman Put on Virtuosic Performance, Make Way Through Pop Standards, Blues Classics, Folk Staples, Bluegrass Jaunts, and More & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Jerry Garcia achieved monumental accomplishments over a prolific career, yet the guitarist never sounded better than on his first official collaboration with longtime friend and fellow instrumental maestro David Grisman. Indeed, contemporary interest in roots music can be directly traced to this stellar Grammy-nominated 1991 collaboration. & lt;b & gt;Putting distinctive rustic spins on pop standards, blues classics, and folk staples, the kindred musical spirits’ earnest authenticity and relaxed intimacy are matched only by virtuosic playing and superb production. & lt;/b & gt; As realistic, warm, close-up, and immersive as any acoustic album, Mobile Fidelity’s reissue raises the bar on the meaning of reference-standard. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s 180g 2LP of Garcia/Grisman takes a record forever renowned for breathtaking sonics to another level. Originally released on Grisman's fabled Acoustic Disc label and recorded at his plush studios, the album now sounds even more realistic—with distinctive tones, palpable air, smooth vocals, three-dimensional soundstaging, balanced imaging, and timbral extension that mirror the feeling and experience of hearing live music in a small space. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Unadorned with any post-production tricks or overdubs, Garcia/Grisman breathes with naturalism and presence. You will effortlessly detect the full body of the instruments, witness the woody grain textures, and get lost in the surprisingly velvety qualities of Garcia’s lullaby-like singing. Mobile Fidelity’s meticulous pressing also marks the first time this delightfully joyous affair has been issued in analog form. You will never hear a better-sounding Americana-styled recording. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Pals since the mid-1960s, Garcia and Grisman bonded over their love for traditional folk and bluegrass. The two teamed up amidst what became a gold rush of top-notch productivity and creativity for Garcia. Partnering with bassist Jim Kerwin and percussionist/fiddler Joe Craven, the pair approaches every passage with innate ease, as if either musician could finish the others sentence. The affable chemistry and soothing interplay wash over a selection of songs as notable for their diversity as the way Garcia and “Dawg” turn them into the equivalent of old friends you haven’t seen in years. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Exquisite melodies and jewel-shaped notes decorate the simple, convivial structures of tunes that hop, jump, skip, skitter, and bop. & lt;b & gt;The atmosphere is reminiscent of the legendary gypsy-jazz exchanges between Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, and equally sharp. & lt;/b & gt;Swirling with Middle Eastern modality, the closing 16-minute-plus rendition of Grisman’s rippling “Arabia”—complete with a section based on a Cuban fold theme—is alone enough worth the price of admission to this sensational session. But there’s so much more. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The quartet delves into Celtic themes (“Two Soldiers”), jazz-grass (“Grateful Dawg”), old-world ballads (“Russian Lullaby”), and Appalachian flavors (“Walkin’ Boss”) with nonpareil skill and soulfulness. Garcia and Grisman’s tandem picking throughout epitomize sublime. And for many listeners, the duo’s revised version of the Grateful Dead staple “Friend of the Devil” ranks as the finest-ever recorded, the pace patient, the narrative vocals heartfelt, and the synchronous solos tailor-made for the enveloping progression. Better yet, it’s all captured in astonishing fidelity. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • Mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab & lt;br & gt; • Specially Plated and Pressed on 180 grams of High Definition Vinyl & lt;br & gt; • Special Static Free - Dust Free Inner Sleeve & lt;br & gt; • Heavy Duty Protective Packaging & lt;br & gt; • Mastered from the Original Master Tapes & lt;br & gt; • Pressed at RTI & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Jerry Garcia, guitar, vocals & lt;br & gt; David Grisman, mandolin & lt;br & gt; Jim Kerwin, bass & lt;br & gt; Joe Craven, percussion, fiddle & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; LP 1 - Side 1: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Miles Davis' fifth and final album with his classic second quintet is kaleidoscopic in sound, forward-looking in structure, and contextually grounded in approach. As the legendary leader's first venture into what would become fusion, it's historical for containing the premier appearances of electric piano, bass, and guitar on a Davis effort. Laden with rich textures and style-bridging elements, Mobile Fidelity's 45RPM pressing brings the aural magic into focus. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, this collectable audiophile version of Miles in the Sky joins the ranks of eleven other essential Davis sets given supreme sonic and packaging treatment by Mobile Fidelity. Afforded the benefits provided by the record's wider grooves, Davis' burnished trumpet resounds with utmost clarity, and the soundstage seems to extend for days. Reference-caliber separation and imaging give each musician their own space, allowing every passage to come across without any sonic limitations. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The album's wide-open soundscapes soar. As do the fluid contributions of Davis' mates. Tony Williams' percussion, central to every composition here, transpires before your eyes. Herbie Hancock's piano hovers and fades with sublime purity. And George Benson, who sits on & quot;Paraphernalia, & quot; blows the equivalent of smoke rings with his bluesy guitar, which here takes on brilliant tonality and definition. The acoustic material that occupies the second half of the record is equally transparent and full-bodied. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Granted enhanced production and a greater field of audible information, Miles in the Sky can finally be perceived as belonging to the same upper echelon as Davis' ubiquitously acclaimed Nefertiti and Filles de Kilimanjaro--the albums that precede and follow, respectively, this watershed title. Commonly branded a & quot;transitional & quot; work, Miles in the Sky showcases Davis already at ease with electric instruments and eager to venture into uncharted territories. Doubling as organized jams and bridges between jazz and rock, both the rhythmically challenging & quot;Stuff & quot; and frisky & quot;Paraphernalia & quot; glancing toward the future while keeping solid footing in the past. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Similarly, so do & quot;Country Boy & quot; and & quot;Black Comedy. & quot; In his original review for jazz authority DownBeat, Larry Kart observes: & lt;b & gt; & quot;Davis takes material from his earlier days and darkens its emotional tone. His opening phrase on ‘Country Boy' recalls a fragment from his & quot;Summertime & quot; solo on the Porgy and Bess album, but here it is delivered with a vehemence that rejects the poignancy of the earlier performance. Even on ‘Black Comedy,' his most straightahead solo here, the orderly pattern of the past is displaced and fragmented. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Flavored with humor, bossa nova, country, and even ballroom phrases, the compositions on Miles in the Sky explodes with creativity, purpose, and color. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.analogplanet.com & quot; & gt; Mo-Fi's Miles reissues keep coming. Porgy and Bess another atmospheric Miles-Gil Evans collaboration dropped early 2020. While all of these Miles albums are musically significant and many are sonically excellent on both original pressings and on these reissues, the biggest sonic surprise was how much better the reissued quintet (Shorter, Hancock, Carter, Williams) recordings sound compared to the originals. Whatever happened in the original mastering has been vastly improved on Nefertiti, Miles in the Sky and Filles De Kilimanjaro. If you have originals and think, you're covered, you're not!

Abandoning his bebop roots and chasing electric dreams, rock-based rhythms, and ostinato pulses, the icon gives life to new music forms on Filles de Kilimanjaro, a titanic release prized for its historical significance and lasting beauty. Grounded and focused, the five compositions unfold like a unified suite. Such peak lyricism, flourishes, and phrases are experienced in the highest-possible fidelity on Mobile Fidelity’s 45RPM 2LP set. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, this collectable audiophile version of Filles de Kilimanjaro joins the ranks of eleven other essential Davis sets given supreme sonic and packaging treatment by Mobile Fidelity. Loaded with revealing signatures, the record takes on even greater import when heard the way Davis and his mates discerned it in the studio. Backgrounds are squid-ink black, pianissimo lines shimmer, and the electric piano emerges with tube-amp warmth. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Indeed, the exotic sound, touch, and feel of the songs on Filles de Kilimanjaro are as crucial as the melodies. To that extent, listeners can now enjoy the expressive tonalities and lush colors from each instrument in full-range glory. Voicings, harmonics, and pitches are rendered with exquisite detail. The manners in which the textures and phrases rotate what seems like a unified tonal center places you at the original recording sessions, executed in July and September 1968. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The final appearance of Davis’ classic second quintet bears fruit on three of the record’s cuts, including the title track and R & amp;B-tinted “Frelon Brun.” Sparked with restrained funk, driving grooves, and bluesy accents, Filles de Kilimanjaro maintains an instinctive flow and controlled fredom that permit Davis to oversee an innovative blending of alterations, improvisation, and cycles. Comprised of multiple sections, “Petits Machins” is a lesson in perfectly played melodic complexity, with chromatic riffs, dominant chords, syncopated progressions, and switching meters forming a singular mosaic. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Filles de Kilimanjaro also represents a jumping-off point for Davis’ lineup. For the September sessions, Chick Corea replaced Herbie Hancock while Dave Holland relieved Ron Carter. The new additions speak a different albeit common language, fitting in with Davis’ desire to draw from rock and weave funk into open-minded excursions filled with exoticism, soulfulness, and wonder. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; More than 40 years ago, this record epitomized the future of jazz. Davis even announced such aspirations with the tagline “Directions in Music.” With the jazz world still trying to wrap its collective mind around its genius, it still does. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.analogplanet.com & quot; & gt; Mo-Fi's Miles reissues keep coming. Porgy and Bess another atmospheric Miles-Gil Evans collaboration dropped early 2020. While all of these Miles albums are musically significant and many are sonically excellent on both original pressings and on these reissues, the biggest sonic surprise was how much better the reissued quintet (Shorter, Hancock, Carter, Williams) recordings sound compared to the originals. Whatever happened in the original mastering has been vastly improved on Nefertiti, Miles in the Sky and Filles De Kilimanjaro. If you have originals and think, you're covered, you're not!

Mastered from the Original Master Tapes and Pressed at RTI! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Four-Times-Platinum Heartbeat City Survives as the Cars’ Final Great Album Before Break-Up & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Mastered from the Original Master Tapes: Mobile Fidelity LP Presents the 1984 Mutt Lange-Produced Heartbeat City In Extraordinary Sound & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Loaded With Recognizable Hits: “Drive,” “You Might Think,” “Magic,” “Hello Again,” and “Why Can’t I Have You” All Top 40 Singles & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1984 will always be remembered for the debut of the Macintosh computer, the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, and the ascent of MTV as the most powerful cultural medium of the era. The year is also recognized for the Cars’ savvy contributions not only to the burgeoning music-video channel but to pop itself. Released in April, the four-times platinum Heartbeat City ultimately spawned five Top 40 singles—four of them landing in the Top 20, two in the Top 10—and serve as the final memorable record from the Boston group, which disbanded in 1987. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed at RTI, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered limited edition 180g LP of Heartbeat City revisits the landmark album via a rich fidelity unmatched by any prior edition. Signifying the first time the set has been available on vinyl in nearly three decades, this reissue opens up the soundstages, decongests the low frequencies, and shines a spotlight on Mutt Lange’s pinpoint balances and glossy hooks. Indeed, the now-household-name producer would make a lasting mark with Heartbeat City, whose radio-friendly sound, multi-layered textures, and smooth, suave, synth-heavy pulses set a precedent for the period’s hit-making pop. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Overflowing with a surfeit of finger-snapping beats, electro-pop effects, streamlined guitar notes, and bright melodies, Heartbeat City trades in efficiency, catchiness, and to-the-point craftiness. Unlike most mid-80s records, the electronic effects and sleek tonalities aren’t dated due to both the focused production and irresistible songwriting. Leader Ric Ocasek penned all ten tunes, and while a mind-boggling five charted in the Top 40, what makes Heartbeat City such a staple is the fact that it’s easy to imagine every song on it crashing the Billboard Hot 100. Call it the new-wave version of Thriller. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Indeed, the record’s track list automatically triggers a mental jukebox. The spare simplicity and hopefulness of “Magic.” The simultaneously sad longing and soothing somberness of the Benjamin Orr-sung “Drive.” The shimmer and shuffling riff of “You Might Think.” The ping-pong bounce and futuristic paranoia of “Hello Again.” The atmospheric, arty title track. Heartbeat City is a veritable lesson in pop tunesmithship. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • Mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab & lt;br & gt; • Specially Plated and Pressed on 180 grams of High Definition Vinyl & lt;br & gt; • Special Static Free - Dust Free Inner Sleeve & lt;br & gt; • Heavy Duty Protective Packaging & lt;br & gt; • Mastered from the Original Master Tapes & lt;br & gt; • Pressed at RTI & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Gleason penned for the back cover of Simon and Garfunkel's Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme ring as true now as they did upon the record's original release in 1966. He mused: & lt;b & gt; & quot;Today's popular music is in good shape indeed – at least the portion of it represented by this album. It has strength and it has beauty, it has lyricism, meaning and, above all, that quality of broad appeal which still retains form. And its music speaks for more than the moment. The songs in this album are songs for all time. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; Indeed, they are, and they can now be experienced in the highest fidelity they've ever enjoyed. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered on Mobile Fidelity's world-renowned mastering system and pressed at RTI, this 180g vinyl LP presents the famed duo's landmark third record in superlative sound. Reflecting the perfectionist-minded nature of Bob Johnston's meticulous production and the group's painstaking arrangements, & lt;b & gt;Mobile Fidelity's reissue brings to light textures, nuances, details, and microdynamics obscured on prior editions. & lt;/b & gt; The hyper-realistic results give you a seat at the recording studio. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;The first Simon and Garfunkel set captured on an eight-track recorder, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme here bursts with colors crucial to the scope of the songs. & lt;/b & gt; Separation between vocals and guitars, images of individual players, and the dimensions of the wide-spanning soundstages all flourish. & lt;b & gt; Harmonies crest and seemingly float on bypassing clouds. & lt;/b & gt; Acoustic passages blossom with lifelike structure and tone. The intent of deliberate euphonic variations – like those between the pair's singing and Charlie O'Donnell's spoken news report on the closing & quot;7 O'Clock News/Silent Night, & quot; which function as both poetic and social commentary – is made clearer by way of the LP's reference-caliber transparency. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Such punctiliousness is exactly what the duo pursued during their four months in the studio, considered then by record-company executives to be borderline excessive. Yet there's no arguing with the end results of a benchmark work Rolling Stone named the 202nd Greatest Album of All Time. Again, it proves wise to refer again to Gleason, whose observations about Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme's character remain spot-on. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;There's a delicate musical design of almost lapidarian detail. It has vitality but it is control, the sounds being made deliberately for the artist's conscious purpose, & quot; & lt;/b & gt; he notes, before continuing, & lt;b & gt; & quot;Take the glorious kaleidoscope of rushing feelings, blowing winds, shifting colors, bursting moods of joy and exultation in ‘Cloudy.' The song is effervescent, one is refreshed hearing it. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Revitalization – and the wellspring of emotions that accompany it – endure as the most attractive aspect of Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme. Simon and Garfunkel achieve the feat time and again via interwoven harmonies, folk devices, revealing contrasts, vocal blending, spiritual imagery, and soaring melodies. The material is at once beautiful and evocative, pristine and natural, serious and joyful, pertinent and accessible. And while the individual appeal of chestnuts like & quot;Homeward Bound, & quot; & quot;Scarborough Fair/Canticle, & quot; & quot;The 59th Street Bridge Song, & quot; and & quot;For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her & quot; remain iconic, the sum of the whole makes this 1966 masterwork a paramount expression of unbridled creativity and communal vision. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & quot;This limited-edition vinyl reissue was cut from a flat (un-equalized) master created from a pristine first-generation copy made in Japan in 1968. Most tracks evoke a wide soundstage and an airiness that lets the music float through the listening room and provides a remarkable headphone experience. & quot; - & lt;/b & gt;Greg Cahill, & lt;i & gt; The Absolute Sound & lt;/i & gt;, July/August 2019 & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Mastered by Krieg Wunderlich, assisted by Rob LoVerde at Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab on the GAIN 2 ULTRA ANALOG SYSTEM™ & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Specially Plated and Pressed on 180 grams of High Definition Vinyl & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Special Static Free - Dust Free Inner Sleeve & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Heavy Duty Protective Packaging & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Pressed at RTI & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side 1: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

The band's first album for Atlantic after departing Motown, Spinners ranks as an all-time soul classic – a filler-free set boasting immaculate harmonies, sweet melodies, and impeccably matched vocals. & lt;b & gt; Thom Bell' & lt;/b & gt;s flawless production puts it all over the top. Yielding an ideal balance of lushness and grit, the collaboration between the Detroit-based group and studio veteran yielded a record that birthed the celebrated Philadelphia Sound. & lt;b & gt;Now, you can finally experience it in audiophile-grade sonics. & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Mastered from the original tapes and pressed at RTI & lt;/b & gt;, Mobile Fidelity's numbered limited-edition 180g LP of Spinners presents the quintet's magnum opus with pristine detail, soothing warmth, and involving emotionalism. Free of previously constraining ceilings, highs soar to their intended heights. Each singer's voice can be distinctly heard amidst the expert mix. Superb dynamics, soundstaging, and imaging highlight Bell's gorgeous orchestrations as well as the Spinners' pillow-soft mellifluousness. Backing instrumentation, ranging from rolling bass lines and punctual horns to swaying strings and crisp high-hat beats, unfolds with reference-caliber purity and transparency. Not many 1970s albums of any genre sound silkier, creamier, or more tonally rich than this LP. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; While the career-defining performances within the grooves cannot be overlooked, Spinners remains equally notable for its historical importance. At the dawn of the '70s, Motown still held sway as the dominant soul style. Yet the Spinners' decision to move to Atlantic – prompted by a suggestion by Aretha Franklin – and refashion their approach with Bell signaled a sea change that ushered in a smoother, sweeter variety of R & amp;B punctuated with sweeping strings, jazzy flourishes, brassy replies, and funk rhythms. & lt;b & gt;Few, if any, vocal groups mesh these traits more convincingly, pleasingly, and naturally than the Spinners on this watershed effort. & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Anchored by Top 5 smashes like & lt;b & gt; & quot;Could It Be I'm Falling In Love, & quot; & lt;/b & gt; Spinners signaled the beginning of a partnership with Bell that lasted seven years and elevated the band to stardom. Indeed, even in spite of the four hit singles, the record remains defined by an artistic consistency, watertight focus, and collective unity that make everything here deserving of close attention. Flush with catchy hooks and pop accents, each song is treated as a potential anthem. Laden with depth and richness, Bell's savvy, wide-open arrangements frame the Spinners' satiny singing with sensual class and refined delicacy. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Heaven-sent voices do the rest. Making his first appearance on record as a member, Philippe Wynne treats the carefully honed material as a breakout session for his dulcet tenor on tracks such as & quot; & lt;b & gt;One of a Kind (Love Affair) & lt;/b & gt;. & quot; Not to be outdone, the equally measured Bobbie Smith mesmerizes with his deft phrasing, reedy timbre, and sparkling clarity, never finer than on the million-selling & quot; & lt;b & gt;I'll Be Around. & lt;/b & gt; & quot; Solo or paired together, Wynne and Smith's glorious leads run the gamut from upbeat and optimistic to sad and forlorn, forming the backbone of a masterwork that addresses romance ( & quot;Just You and Me Baby & quot;), regret ( & quot;How Could I Let You Get Away & quot;), and social ills ( & quot;Ghetto Child & quot;) with consummate passion. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • Mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab & lt;br & gt; • Specially Plated and Pressed on 180 grams of High Definition Vinyl & lt;br & gt; • Special Static Free - Dust Free Inner Sleeve & lt;br & gt; • Heavy Duty Protective Packaging & lt;br & gt; • Mastered from the Original Master Tapes & lt;br & gt; • Pressed at RTI & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.
