MoFi SuperVinyl provides the closest approximation of what the label’s engineers hear in the mastering lab. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Named the 6th best album in music history by Rolling Stone, Marvin Gaye's staggeringly influential What's Going On is pure soul genius and an ageless document about urban ills, employment issues, environmental concerns, and social responsibilities that's as relevant today as it was upon release in 1971. At once, the singer both revolutionized Motown's cache and upped the ante for his fellow artists. And now, the song cycle that toes the line between optimism, dismay, healing, futility, and urgency features sound and packaging that matches the groundbreaking arrangements, singing, and lyrical content within. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Gaye's definitive statement reaches three-dimensional sonic and emotional heights never before attained on Mobile Fidelity's opulent UD1S (UltraDisc One-Step) box set. Strictly limited to 7,500 numbered copies and pressed on & lt;b & gt; MoFi SuperVinyl featuring the world's quietest surfaces and accurately cut grooves & lt;/b & gt;, this ultra-hi-fi collector's edition literally and figuratively brings you closer to music that redefined pop. You'll enjoy deep-black backgrounds, boundless soundstaging, pointillist details, staggering dynamics, and arguably, the most lifelike tonalities and nuances ever committed to vinyl. Experienced via UD1S, What's Going On places Gaye and his cadre of session pros in your listening room. Every note, breath, and movement is reproduced with exquisite accuracy, wowing clarity, and impeccable balance. Consider this edition your new go-to reference. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Developed by NEOTECH and RTI, MoFi SuperVinyl is the most exacting-to-specification vinyl compound ever created. Analog lovers have never seen (or heard) anything like it. Extraordinarily expensive and extremely painstaking to produce, the special proprietary compound addresses two specific areas of improvement: noise floor reduction and enhanced groove definition. The vinyl composition features a new carbonless dye (hold the disc up to the light and see) and produces the world’s quietest surfaces. This high-definition formula also allows for the creation of cleaner grooves that are indistinguishable from the original lacquer. MoFi SuperVinyl provides the closest approximation of what the label’s engineers hear in the mastering lab. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;The lavish packaging, beautiful presentation, and pressing treatment of Mobile Fidelity's What's Going On UD1S pressing befit its extremely select status. & lt;/b & gt;Housed in a deluxe box, the collectible version contains special foil-stamped jackets and faithful-to-the-original graphics that illuminate the splendor of the recording. No expense has been spared. Aurally and visually, this reissue of What's Going On exists a curatorial artifact meant to be preserved, poured over, touched, and examined. It is made for discerning listeners that prize sound quality and creativity, and who desire to fully immerse themselves in the art – and everything involved with the album, from the images to the textures and liner notes. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Incredibly, the record almost didn't get made. Motown head honcho Barry Gordy detested the iconic title track but soon realized Gaye's ultimatum to issue it as a single had merit. After selling 100,000 copies in its first days on the market, the release allowed Gaye carte blanche to make the remainder of the album on his terms – and to serve as its producer, effectively signaling his split from the Detroit label's iron-clad hit-factory approach. The results forever changed soul, Motown, and Gaye, turning him from a crooner and sex symbol into someone far more complex, vital, and relatable on a human level. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The societal themes coursing through What's Going On – largely concerning the American Dream and what it really meant, and if it could still be attained, and if so, by whom and for what cost – were largely informed by events of the time. Civil Rights riots, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., the Kent State shootings, as well as Gaye's own losses – the death of his duet partner Tammi Terrell, the unraveling of his marriage, the pressures he faced from the IRS for unpaid taxes – all prominently figured in the songwriting. Yet no subject mattered more than the Vietnam war and its returning veterans, one of whom was his brother. & quot;I was very much affected by letters my brother was sending me from Vietnam, as well as the social situation here at home, & quot; the singer told Rolling Stone in an interview. & quot;I realized that I had to put my own fantasies behind me if I wanted to write songs that would reach the souls of people. I wanted them to take a look at what was happening in the world. & quot; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Gaye matched the scope of his expanded lyrical palette with equally innovative arrangements steeped in jazz hues. Songs effortlessly flow into one another with layers of strings, brass, and vocal overdubs laid over the rhythm tracks. Vocally, Gaye pioneered a new dual-vocal approach by relaxing and taking inspiration from a Lester Young album, distinguishing the tracks with an unhurried feel reminiscent of a conversation – albeit one imbued with of-the-moment urgency. The sessions' vibes, developed in an atmosphere rich with marijuana smoke, are reflected in tunes such as & quot;Flyin' High (In the Friendly Sky). & quot; Environmental anxieties and spiritual dramas, meanwhile, form the core of staples like & quot;What's Happening Brother, & quot; & quot;Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology), & quot; and & quot;Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler). & quot; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; No less of an authority than & quot;Sound Opinions & quot; co-host, longtime Chicago Tribune critic, and award-winning author Greg Kot smartly observed that with What's Going On, Gaye & quot;created soul music's first ‘art' album, an inner-city response to the Celtic mysticism of Van Morrison's Astral Weeks, the psychedelic pop of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the rewired blues of Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited. & quot; And that's honestly just scratching the surface of this singular record. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;More About Mobile Fidelity UltraDisc One-Step and Why It Is Superior & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Instead of utilizing the industry-standard three-step lacquer process, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's new UltraDisc One-Step (UD1S) uses only one step, bypassing two processes of generational loss. While three-step processing is designed for optimum yield and efficiency, UD1S is created for the ultimate in sound quality. Just as Mobile Fidelity pioneered the UHQR (Ultra High-Quality Record) with JVC in the 1980s, UD1S again represents another state-of-the-art advance in the record-manufacturing process. MFSL engineers begin with the original master tapes and meticulously cut a set of lacquers. These lacquers are used to create a very fragile, pristine UD1S stamper called a & quot;convert. & quot; Delicate & quot;converts & quot; are then formed into the actual record stampers, producing a final product that literally and figuratively brings you closer to the music. By skipping the additional steps of pulling another positive and an additional negative, as done in the three-step process used in standard pressings, UD1S produces a final LP with the lowest noise floor possible today. The removal of the additional two steps of generational loss in the plating process reveals tremendous amounts of extra musical detail and dynamics, which are otherwise lost due to the standard copying process. The exclusive nature of these very limited pressings guarantees that every UD1S pressing serves as an immaculate replica of the lacquer sourced directly from the original master tape. Every conceivable aspect of vinyl production is optimized to produce the most perfect record album available today. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;I compared my original RCA mastered and pressed original (Tamla TS310) with Mobile Fidelity's 2008 1/2 speed mastered reissue (MFSL 1-314) and then with this & quot;1 Step & quot; version (UD1S 2-008) pressed on the new MoFi & quot;Supervinyl & quot; manufactured by NEOTECH and it's difficult to believe these are sourced from the same tape. The & quot;one step & quot; destroys the others by a wide margin. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;The resolution of musical and spatial detail that's smeared on the other versions is huge. I've heard complaints about there being & quot;too much bass & quot; but I think that's what's on the tape that's previously been rolled off. This reissue is a major sonic step forward both for Mobile Fidelity and for vinyl reissues generally. It would be interesting to compare it to the master tape... & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Michael Fremer, & lt;i & gt;Analogplanet.com & lt;/i & gt;, February 22, 2019 & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Kudos to Mobile Fidelity for this extraordinary release of Marvin Gaye's 1971 masterpiece, What's Going On... The latest in MoFi's 1-Step series, this elaborately packaged and pricey reissue also introduces the company's SuperVinyl technology. Developed by NEOTECH and RTI to lower the noise floor and enhance groove definition, it creates, according to MoFi, LPs & quot;indistinguishable from the original lacquer & quot; and & quot;provides the closest approximation of what we hear in the mastering lab. My original pressing of the album is edgy and harsh, with pinched dynamics, a thin bottom end, and flat perspective. Behold, then, this mind-popping reissue. Gaye's voice is suddenly highly present and integrated into the whole - as are his own accompanying vocals. The bottom end is deeper, richer, and it really & lt;i & gt;moves & lt;/i & gt;. There's dynamic range and a sense of freedom to the sound, with a notable sense of air and space. Most importantly, the music's already powerful emotional impact is that much greater. I couldn't - and can't - stop playing it. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Wayne Garcia, & lt;i & gt;The Absolute Sound & lt;/i & gt;, April 2019 & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.analogplanet.com & quot; & gt; These double 45rpm single-step AAA boxed set pressings are as good as vinyl records get. If they don't sound good on your system, it's your system. & lt;footer & gt; -Michael Fremer, Analog Planet's Best Reissues of the Decade, March 2020 & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Limited to One Copy Per Customer & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Numbered, Limited Edition - Only 7500 Copies & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; First Ever MoFi SuperVinyl Pressing & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; UltraDisc One-Step & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; 45rpm Speed Edition & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; 2LP Box Set & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Special foil-stamped jackets & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Housed in an opulent box & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Faithful to original graphics & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Production and Mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

& 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;The Pretenders Self-Titled Album on Numbered Limited Edition 180g LP from Mobile Fidelity! & lt;br & gt;Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 155/500! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Pretenders One of the Most Essential Debuts Ever Released: No-Nonsense 1980 Set Ranked 155th Greatest Album of All Time by Rolling Stone & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Mastered from the Original Master Tapes: Added Extension, Sharper Imaging, Multi-Dimensional Soundstaging on MoFi 180g LP Place Pretenders on a Small Stage in Your Room & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Pretenders' Self-Titled Record Moves Fast With Biting Hooks, Soulful Melodies, and Guitar-Charged Toughness: Includes & quot;Brass In Pocket, & quot; & quot;Precious, & quot; and & quot;Tattooed Love Boys & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The milieu The Pretenders create on their groundbreaking debut didn't exist when the album came out in early 1980. Such is the magnitude of originality, creativity, and nerve the band captured on a record that captivated each side of the Atlantic and both upended and advanced tradition. The no-nonsense set also announced the arrival of the inimitable Chrissie Hynde, one of the greatest singer-songwriters in rock history, gender be damned. Equally significant, the album remains just one of two studio efforts featuring the original members before tragedy ended the lives of guitarist James Honeyman-Scott and bassist Pete Farndon. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's 180g LP of Pretenders grants the influential music newfound clarity, punch, dynamics, and perspective that enhance the realism and attack of everything from Hynde's vocal snarl to the band's multiple textures. Originally recorded live in the studio at high volume levels by producer Chris Thomas, the record on this vinyl edition boasts added extension, sharper imaging, multi-dimensional soundstaging, and a crispness that practically places the Pretenders onstage in your room. Replete with detail and nuance — particularly, Hynde's singing and Honeyman-Scott's terrific array of hovering chords, colorful palettes, and inventive effects — this is a record that rewards repeat listening and full-bloom playback. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Cited by Rolling Stone as the 155th Greatest Album of All Time, the Pretenders took shape via the vision of the Ohio-born Hynde and chemistry she achieved with three Brits circling the same punk orbit—one that saw the frontwoman work with the Sex Pistols and briefly embark on a serious music-criticism career. Indeed, while Hynde is the unquestionable leader of the gang, the Pretenders are the sum of their total parts, displaying rapport and interaction that never came together more convincingly, naturally, or emotionally as it does on their debut. Honeyman-Scott's ringing arpeggio tones seamlessly combine with Hynde's no-muss sass, sensuality, and soulfulness. Similarly, the rhythm section contributes considerable thump and classically styled explosiveness. Together, the four sound like no other band. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Such distinctiveness helps explain why the Pretenders album remains as contemporary now as it did 30-odd years ago. Schooled in the era's raw, unfiltered English punk yet equally versed in rockabilly, new-wave pop, and British Invasion rock, the band orchestrates songs that overflow with keen hooks, sexual swagger, and ear-catching melodies. Courtesy of the aggressive guitars and leather-tough cool, Pretenders moves fast, Hynde's assertive deliveries and take-notice lyrics jolting the senses with a lethal mix of sophistication, toughness, tenderness, rebelliousness, and romance. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; With Honeyman-Scott playing the Richards to her Jagger, Hynde operates on pure instinct. She throws down the gauntlet on the corrugated pulse of & quot;Precious, & quot; proves she can hang with even the roughest boys on the energetic bounce of & quot;Tattooed Love Boys, & quot; and, on the smash hit & quot;Brass In Pocket, & quot; spouts self-aggrandizing claims that she would back up for decades to come. Yet Hynde and the Pretenders' appeal goes much deeper than brazenness. Akin to her guitarist's unconventional phasing and treated effects, the singer never abides by rules or stereotypes as she balances the gutsiness and attitude with sensitivity ( & quot;Lovers of Today & quot;), compassion (the jangling & quot;Stop Your Stopping & quot;), and vulnerability ( & quot;Kid & quot;). & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Pretenders is not only one of the most impressive album debuts in history, it's one of the most essential records, independent of genre or timing, ever made. Hear this energetic music in the finest-possible fidelity it's ever enjoyed. & 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; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

It's impossible to overstate the importance of the pair's collaboration on the landmark 1959 update of George Gershwin's opera. Transcending genre, time, and place, the profound statement finds Evans and Davis implementing modal approaches in a mainstream context and advancing jazz idioms that would become the foundation of the form's still-classic era. And that's saying nothing of the soulful playing - legendary performances by Davis' first great quintet that can now be heard in pristine detail courtesy of this definitive analog edition. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Mastered from the original tapes, pressed at RTI, and strictly limited to 4,000 numbered copies, Porgy and Bess attains previously unheard degrees of clarity, openness, immediacy, and depth on Mobile Fidelity's 180g 45RPM 2LP set. Here, the arrangements unfold amidst practically limitless soundstages and burst with multi-dimensional images. Separation between instruments allows you to locate individual band members and trace the decay of the notes. Davis' iconic solo passages take on borderline-surreal qualities of realism and shape. The magisterial scope of the Evans-conducted orchestra emerges with room-filling bloom, color, and dynamics. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;While difficult to pinpoint its single-best strength, Mobile Fidelity's reissue gives reference-level credence to what may remain the album's most crucial aspect: tone. Based not on chords but on scales and feeling, Porgy and Bess teems with emotions and possibilities - characteristics conveyed by the nuances, timbre, and temper delivered by the array of horns, woodwinds, basses, and percussion involved. Whether the combination of Bill Barber's tuba in unison with Paul Chambers' bass during & quot;Buzzard Song, & quot; Davis' improvisational flights on & quot;It Ain't Necessarily So, & quot; or the doubling up on alto flutes on several compositions, never before have they been experienced with such richness, roundness, and palpability. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Just as identifying singular sonic highlights proves virtually unfeasible, so does underlining which songs feature the most memorable exchanges, melodies, and scoring. Davis and Evans' adaptation of Porgy and Bess remains of a piece, an American touchstone, a recording that immediately separated itself from the multiple other versions released during the same period and continues to make waves decades after its creation, assuming a place in the historical canon alongside collaborative masterworks by Duke Ellington/Billy Strayhorn and Frank Sinatra/Nelson Riddle. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Defined by Davis biographer Jack Chambers as & quot;a new score, with its own integrity, order, and action, & quot; Porgy and Bess has been identified by nearly every major outlet and expert as a must-have album. Davis' phrasing alone cements the effort with a genius quality. As Brian Cook and Richard Morton explain in The Penguin Guide to Jazz: & quot;'Prayer' is an astounding tour de force, harmonically suspended, and with Miles' most extraordinarily recorded solo to date punctuated by agonized screams and shouts, whether of affirmation or suffering it isn't easy to judge. Miles was not in good physical condition during the making of the record, which perhaps explains the twisting intensity, the bent notes and slurs which seem to express some inner pain. & quot; Then there's the immortal rendition of & quot;Summertime, & quot; the epitome of calm, understatement, and beauty. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;At once sweet and spiritual, sure and steady, graceful and exuberant, happy and poignant, Porgy and Bess is a phenomenal jazz dance that has never been equaled - and likely, never will. Hear it as Davis, Evans, and company intended. & lt;/p & 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!

Forever prized for natural sonics, Workingman’s Dead attains audiophile reference status courtesy of this first-ever 45RPM version. As flawless as any rustic album ever released, the 1970 set now brims with soaring harmonies, organic execution, intertwined textures, and uncomplicated structures that furnish the songs a transcendence associated with timeless American music. Colorful, relatable characters seemingly torn from working-class histories and old-time fables inhabit the narratives. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed on 180g LPs at RTI, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered limited edition of this period-defining recording renders the stripped-down fare with immense detail, rich airiness, and reach-out-and-touch-it realism. Longtime Deadheads and newcomers alike will hear significantly more information, experience wider and deeper soundstages, and become swept away by incredible tonal and vocal balances—traits made possible by the format’s wider grooves. Instrumental melds and refined accents, such as guest David Nelson’s nimble fills on “Cumberland Blues,” are part of a larger whole that gives the impression you are witness to the world’s coziest campfire session. Frontier tales and refined performances further this feeling. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The first Grateful Dead album to eschew cosmic jams and complex signatures, Workingman’s Dead stakes its existence to great songs, homespun warmth, and bare essentials. Its wistful, relaxed state—immediately apparent via the innocent album-opening invitation “Will you come with me?” on “Uncle John’s Band”—owes to the circumstances and conditions surrounding its creation. At the time, the Dead owed a considerable financial debt to Warner Bros. and were hobbled by a recent drug bust and financial scandal. Most significantly, the band was recovering from—and reacting to—the tragic events of the Altamont Music Festival and symbolic end of the peace and love era. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; As such, Workingman’s Dead acts as a retreat from chaos and uncertainty, its songs emblems of simpler times and pleas for compassion in the face of hardship. Lyricist Robert Hunter said he aimed to capture the vintage elements of late 1940s country-and-western jukebox singles as well as old blues classics. In that vein, fare such as the Bakersfield-leaning “Cumberland Blues,” pastoral ballad “Dire Wolf,” and bluesy “Easy Wind” hit the mark. Leader Jerry Garcia’s occasional pedal-steel underpinnings arrive as a bonus. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Of course, aside from the economical concision and thematic consistency, the genius of Workingman’s Dead resides in the group’s expressive harmonies. Taught by Crosby, Stills and Nash, the Dead produce live “air blends” of multi-part vocal harmonies that provide the foundations of nearly every track. “Uncle John’s Band,” “High Time,” “New Speedway Boogie” (with the iconic refrain “One way or another/This darkness has got to give” referencing the ill wind that greeted the new decade), and the radio favorite “Casey Jones” practically float on the ensemble’s communal vocal beds. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mobile Fidelity’s 45RPM edition renders these invigorating, refreshing, and engaging characteristics in three-dimensional sound that transports you to the event. Recordings don’t get more lifelike. Workingman’s Dead — an iconic, ageless record that drew countless listeners to the band’s unique style because of its accessibility and charm — deserves nothing less. Neither do you. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • 45rpm Speed 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; LP1 - Side One: & lt;br & gt; & lt;/b & gt; 1.

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.

Look no further than the quadruple-platinum & quot;Candy-O & quot;. Continuing along the streamlined pop paths of its predecessor, the sophomore effort is preoccupied with desirable women that are as mysterious, sexy, and cool as the group’s music—and the record’s pin-up cover. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; With rare exception, few new-wave artists enjoyed much of a career outside of a one-hit wonder. & quot;Candy-O & quot; proves the Cars were anything but. It’s loaded with minimalist atmospherics, pulsing bass lines, catchy refrains, and labyrinthine synthesizers that stick in your mind for days. And while retaining a simplicity that’s a Cars hallmark, the album also takes myriad stylistic detours: the glam-rock accents of & quot;Dangerous Type, & quot; a song whose title references the record’s mysterious and lusty matter; the percolating riffs of the contagious title track; the dizzying garage-rock nature of the upbeat & quot;Got a Lot on My Mind, & quot; complete with a tooting Farfisa organ. Nothing drags or feels out of place. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Through it all, vocalists Benjamin Orr and Ric Ocasek keep their heads about themselves, singing in direct albeit detached tones that convey the tension, excitement, and risky promise inherent in the lyrics. Hook-laced choruses abound. Yet all is not what it seems. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Half-speed mastered from the original analog tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered limited-edition LP brings the Cars’ distinctive melodies and exotic arrangements to the fore in ways that have never been heard outside of the recording studio. For the first time, Roy Thomas Baker’s vocal production shines, with each member’s contributions rescued from a cold sonic murk that detracted from the music’s impact on both vinyl and the extremely compressed CD. Once you hear the newly uncovered dynamics and rich textures, you’ll be wondering where they were all of these years. Chalk this up as an essential addition to your pop collection. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Hooks are mechanical by nature, but the affectlessness of these deserves special mention; only listeners who consider 'alienation is the craze' a great insight will find much meaning here. On the other hand, only listeners who demand meaning in all things will find this useless. Cold and thin, shiny and hypnotic, it's what [the Cars] do best--rock and roll that is definitely pop without a hint of cuteness. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Robert Christgau, The Consumer Guide & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Dynamics are much improved on Candy-O, being consistently punchy and engaging. Drums in particular are rendered with greater realism, especially when you consider the already “larger than life“ inherent production values. Thankfully the cymbals are reproduced cleanly without being overly bright. The new mastering also provides better treble and bass extension, along with a wider and deeper soundstage. Heck, there is even some space around Ocasek's vocals. Background instrumentals are also better separated in the mix. & quot; /b & gt;- Michael Fremer, www.analogplanet.com, Music 8/10, Sound 9/10! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; • 1/2 Speed mastered from the original master tapes & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Ric Ocasek, vocals, rhythm guitar & lt;br & gt; Greg Hawkes, keyboards, percussion, sax, backing vocals & lt;br & gt; Benjamin Orr, vocals, bass guitar & lt;br & gt; David Robinson, drums, percussion & lt;br & gt; Elliot Easton, lead guitar, backing vocals & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side 1: & lt;br & gt; & lt;/b & gt; 1.

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.

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.

Then, via word of mouth and reevaluation, & lt;b & gt;the Little Album That Could began to build a reputation as an initially misunderstood masterwork—a bold, brave, and exposed creation that happened to have hyper-contagious hooks to accompany the confessional lyrics. & lt;/b & gt; Today, it’s cited on virtually every Best Albums of the 1990s list in existence. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed on 180g LP at RTI, Mobile Fidelity’s analog version of the effort Rolling Stone awarded a full five-star review upon revisiting it eight years later brings the band’s live-in-the-studio vocals and darker, raw feel to the surface like never before. & lt;/b & gt; Leader & lt;b & gt;Rivers Cuomo’s & lt;/b & gt; decision to record group choruses around three microphones rather than capture them separately finally can be experienced as originally intended, with the immediate vibe paying off in the form of more engaging, edgier results that parallel the songs’ personal emotions and frustrated themes. Guitars, which scrape and push, augmenting the trials and tribulations documented in the narratives, are finally rendered in proper perspective. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Comprised of nonfiction tunes largely based on & lt;b & gt;Cuomo’s & lt;/b & gt; dissatisfaction with rock-star life, and written by the singer/guitarist as he attended school at Harvard University, & lt;b & gt;Pinkerton confronts disappointment, loneliness, isolation, awkwardness, and cruel romantic irony with a universal perspective to which anybody can relate. Cuomo & lt;/b & gt; selected the character Lieutenant Pinkerton from & lt;b & gt;Puccini’s Madame Butterfly & lt;/b & gt; as a touchstone, believing the persona symbolic of the tormented protagonists in his songs—and recognizing similar struggles to come to terms with identity. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Weezer’s & lt;/b & gt; aims on & lt;b & gt;Pinkerton & lt;/b & gt; have connected with many that identify with its narratives and adore its surfeit of melodies. Surpassing cult-classic status and conquering fickle tastes, the record ranks in & lt;b & gt;Guitar World’s & lt;/b & gt; “Top 100 Guitar Albums of All-Time”; & lt;b & gt;Spin’s & lt;/b & gt; “100 Best Albums From 1985 to 2005”; & lt;b & gt;Pitchfork’s & lt;/b & gt; “Top 100 Albums of the 1990s”; and & lt;b & gt;Rolling Stone’s & lt;/b & gt;Hall of Fame. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; For all the malaise, & lt;b & gt;Pinkerton & lt;/b & gt; also contains beloved wit and humor. Shyness and hands-in-pocket diffidence inform “El Scorcho”; incongruity and surprise surround the simultaneously funny and sad “Pink Triangle”; tedium and desire collide on the cynical “Tired of Sex.” Psychosexual confusion, unrequited passion, and good intentions elicit unintended sympathies, a trait that remains one of the record’s brilliant turns. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Part of & lt;b & gt;Mobile Fidelity’s Weezer catalog restoration series & lt;/b & gt;, don’t pass up the chance to secure your lowest-numbered copy of this incredible album.

Best known as Janis Joplin's major-label debut, the 1968 set arrived when the countercultural movement was in full swing and before co-optation, drugs, and violence signaled the fall of the era. Ranked No. 338 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, it puts a female singer in the prominent position traditionally given to a male and showcases a band pouring a potent cocktail of fiery psychedelic, blues, and folk sounds that informed the unfettered creativity of the San Francisco scene. Produced by John Simon, Cheap Thrills also features one of the most iconic and elaborate album covers in history. Now, thanks to Mobile Fidelity, the instantly identifiable effort also possesses sonics equivalent to its visual and musical status. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Cut at 45 RPM and pressed on dead-quiet vinyl at RTI, the iconic audiophile label's analog reissue intensifies the quintet's storied sophomore effort. Due to the wider grooves, this pressing benefits from increased spaciousness, punchiness, energy, pacing, and dynamics. Joplin's hurricane-force singing reverberates with texture, grittiness, and volume. An arresting array of instrumental colors and tones comes on with clearer separation and depth. While previous pressings find the band and Joplin's voice in competition with one another for room, both emerge as distinct entities. Always noted for its rawness, Cheap Thrills sounds as close to live as it gets, an unadulterated portrait of nervy rock n' roll delivered with exuberant enthusiasm and all-out determination. This is music at is most visceral. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Having drawn national attention for their legendary performance at the Monterey International Pop Festival in 1967, Big Brother and Joplin faced huge expectations to deliver a studio set that would convey their onstage vibrancy and potency. Cheap Thrills does this and more, becoming one of 1968's most commercially successful releases that remained on the charts the week Joplin announced her separation from the ensemble. Contrary to popular belief, only one of the album's songs, & quot;Ball and Chain, & quot; was recorded live. Everything else owes to the unhinged, spirit-elevating performances and true collaboration between vocalist and band that manifests itself throughout the record's 37-minute-plus running time. Merging biker-babe ruggedness with wounded-bird poignancy, Joplin's expressive belting, mega-watt moaning, and sensitive crooning take center stage. Yet her bandmates match every step with explosive rhythms, heavy guitar-driven blues, and assertive solos that take inspiration from free-form jazz. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Indeed, Cheap Thrills still exhilarates not only due to Joplin's almighty singing but because of boundary-shredding arrangements that reflect the period's anything-is-possible mindset. More so than any other musicians Joplin encountered, the members of Big Brother pushed limits on convention via soirees into acid-dipped psychedelia and its orbiting sonic galaxies. Together, they aim and achieve an aural mythos that makes a permanent connection between artist and audience by way of eliminating traditional divisions. Such communal power is evident on the mind-bending version of Big Mama Thornton's & quot;Ball and Chain & quot; and insistent, sinewy & quot;I Need a Man to Love. & quot; It's also obvious during quieter moments, whether the tripped-out, twisted, and curvaceous contours of George and Ira Gershwin's & quot;Summertime & quot; or restrained, throwback acoustic blues of & quot;Turtle Blues. & quot; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • 45rpm Speed Edition & lt;br & gt; • Production & amp; 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; • Pressed on Dead-quiet Vinyl at RTI & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Sing-a-long hooks. Contagious melodies. Symphonic bluster. Rhapsodic thrust. Signature Wurlitzer electric piano sounds. Two Grammy Awards, including one for Best Engineered Album. More than 20 million copies sold. Four Billboard hit singles that continue to dominate radio airplay today. Every aspect of the chart-topping art-rock set screams blockbuster, not the least of which is the production, the result of painstaking studio setups and months of mixing. Now, you can experience the & lt;b & gt;sonic brilliance in unprecedented clarity & lt;/b & gt; on Mobile Fidelity's definitive-sounding reissue. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed at RTI, this numbered-edition 180g LP wrings out the record's dynamics, colors, and tones in all their full-range glory. & amp;nbsp; Absent artificial ceilings, Breakfast in America & lt;b & gt;unfolds with an expansiveness and radiance that parallels the vibrancy of its iconic New York-themed cover & lt;/b & gt;. Crucial traits such as imaging, separation, balance, transients, and openness achieve near-epic levels of realism and presence. Songs unfold and breathe on mammoth soundstages that put the effort's legendary production – and stellar playing – into proper perspective. The 1979 set has been reissued multiple times in the past, but it's never sounded so engaging, lifelike, or entertaining. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Indeed, aside from the undeniably catchy nature of the ten tracks, fun remains the most central element of Breakfast in America. The band even titled the record to fall in line with the overall joyful feeling of the material. About the latter: Few late 1970s rock albums feature a more cohesive, harmony-drenched parade of stunningly executed, wondrously arranged works. The collective offspring of members Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson, each tune reflects the creative pulses of each musician, with the resultant contrasts lending to their appeal. Davies' penchant for grittier, bluesy strands blends with Hodgson's witty, pop-leaning techniques. The combination proves unstoppable. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Home to a quartet of commercial staples – & quot;The Logical Song, & quot; & quot;Goodbye Stranger, & quot; & quot;Take the Long Way Home, & quot; and the title track – Breakfast in America teems with arena-sized drama, meticulous craftsmanship, and mesmerizing refrains. Shrewd lyrical turns abound, whether on the phonetic, adjective-stacked & quot;The Logical Song, & quot; life-in-America portrait & quot;Child of Vision, & quot; or move-to-L.A. saga & quot;Gone Hollywood. & quot; U.S. references also dot the smash title track, which reflects the glib humor, romantic fantasies, and pop culture permeating the record. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Breakfast in America also retains its vitality because of its expert instrumentation and placement. Deemed a & quot;a textbook-perfect album of post-Beatles, keyboard-centered English art rock that strikes the shrewdest possible balance between quasi-symphonic classicism and rock & amp; roll & quot; by Rolling Stone shortly after its release, the record serves as a blueprint of reference-setting production and mixing. Check the scorching guitar outro on & quot;Goodbye Stranger, & quot; gospel accents on & quot;Lord Is It Mine, & quot; saxophone lines on & quot;Take the Long Way Home, & quot; or chemistry of the choruses on basically every piece here. It's enough to make one long for the '70s again. & 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; Mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab & 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; Mastered From Original Master Tapes & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Pressed at RTI & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Gatefold jacket & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

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.

Neither can the iconic record's place in history – nor what it signifies to generations upon generations of listeners hypnotized by the consummate playing, resplendent compositions, and seamless chemistry. Originally released in 1961, the live set remains the gold standard for symbiotic trio performance, empathy, and communication. Because of Orrin Keepnews' brilliant recording, it also survives as one of the best-sounding jazz albums extant – a fact confirmed by its appearance on multiple reissues over the past few decades. But it's never sounded better than this. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Evans' masterwork reaches three-dimensional sonic and emotional heights never before attained by analog recordings on this & lt;b & gt;opulent Mobile Fidelity UD1S box set & lt;/b & gt; complete with special jackets and a unique insert. Strictly numbered to 3000 copies, this ultra-hi-fi audiophile edition literally and figuratively brings you closer to the music of this Riverside staple that, along with the complementary Waltz for Debby, transformed Evans into a legend and became a blueprint for how jazz trios should work together. You'll enjoy deep-black backgrounds, pointillistic details, and staggering dynamics. Experienced via UD1S, Sunday at the Village Vanguard places Evans and his esteemed colleagues in your listening room. Every note, breath, and movement captured by the microphones are reproduced with exquisite accuracy and wowing clarity. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The & lt;b & gt;deluxe packaging and gorgeous presentation & lt;/b & gt; of this Sunday at the Village Vanguard pressing & lt;b & gt;befit its extremely select status & lt;/b & gt;. Housed in an opulent box, this UD1S edition contains special jackets and unique bonus artwork that further illuminate the splendor of the recording. No expense has been spared. Aurally and visually, this Sunday at the Village Vanguard is a curatorial artifact meant to be preserved, poured over, touched, and examined. It is made for discerning listeners that prize sound and creativity, and who desire to fully immerse themselves in the music – and everything involved with the album, from the graphics to the textures. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Recorded just ten days before bassist Scott LaFaro perished in a car accident, Sunday at the Village Vanguard changed the way jazz trios were perceived by audiences and musicians alike. Up until Evans, LaFaro, and drummer Paul Motian proved otherwise, a trio configuration meant two sidemen served as rhythmic support to spotlight the virtuosity of a headline performer or primary soloist. Here, the three instrumentalists operate in complete unison and achieve supreme democratic balance. Expressing their intent via shared conversations, they alight on sublime pieces flush with thematic discovery, improvisational dialog, and raw feeling. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; A quest for discovery informs the music as well as the playing. Evans' lyrical pianism met at every turn by LaFaro's chorded responses and harmonic counterpoints. Indeed, Sunday at the Village Vanguard remains LaFaro's standout moment, his soloing helping shape the melodies and striking a keen equilibrium between modality and traditionalism. Joining poignant renditions of Miles Davis, Cole Porter, and Gershwin numbers, two LaFaro originals – & quot;Jade Visions & quot; and the opening & quot;Gloria's Step & quot; – further demonstrate his genius. They furnish the album a supernatural aura that matches the jovial mood of the musicians. It's impossible to think this album could be improved in any way. Particularly now that this UD1S pressing brings the Village Vanguard into your room. Prepare to witness history. Again and again. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.analogplanet.com & quot; & gt; These double 45rpm single-step AAA boxed set pressings are as good as vinyl records get.

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.

Distinguished by Andrew Eldritch’s ghostly singing, which gives the impression of hearing a forlorn ghoul croon from a foggy English graveyard, the 1985 set is drenched in gloom, claustrophobia, black humor, and dance-ready beats that provide exhilarating contrasts. Fans of the Cure, Depeche Mode, Love and Rockets, Peter Murphy, mid-period Nick Cave, and Joy Division will find it to be a new favorite record. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered on Mobile Fidelity’s world-renowned mastering system and pressed at RTI (the best record plant in North America), Silver Label numbered limited edition LP presents First And Last And Always with a fuller, richer sound that positively obliterates the thin, feeble sonic perspectives that have limited the music until now. Every aspect from Eldritch’s haunting singing to the group’s jangling guitars and prancing bass lines finally gain genuine definition. Yet what’s most improved is the sense of atmosphere: Sisters of Mercy revel in painting tone poems, where the feel and effect are as essential as the notes that are played. This is now an atmospheric tour de force. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Ever since it’s release, First And Last And Always has been aptly shrouded in mythology. Eldritch pushed the envelope during the recording sessions, literally walking into walls and repeatedly unable to maintain his focus. Strung out on amphetamines, dazed by days of no sleep, upset by a recent breakup, and eating little, the vocalist channeled his discord into somber lyrics and brooding singing. He’s framed by pulsing albeit lean, spare rhythms, patient tempos, and the clatter of a programmed drum machine that, in spite of its mechanical operation, sounds strangely organic. The songs evoke wet dungeons, walls-closing-in paranoia, and late-night strolls amidst the U.K.’s mysterious underground. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Despite its overall dark character, the record’s arrangements value spaciousness, putting a premium on room and minimalism that makes each note count. As a result, twinkling pianos and keyboards parallel steel-cutting guitars and low-tuned bass lines that, in combination with Eldrtich’s baritone, suggest glimmers of hope among the decay. Songs such as the shaking “Possession,” dramatic “Some Kind of Stranger,” and desperate “Marian” remain models of the gothic and post-punk disciplines more than 25 years after their debut. It’s no surprise that, given all of the tension and personality that infuse the album, Sisters of Mercy disbanded just months after its release. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; It’s unlikely that any goth-rock album has ever sounded this good. This MoFi Silver Label LP will turn your room into rainy, dreary England, circa 1985, and expose you to one of the most harrowing vocal performances on record. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; About Silver Series: Coming from Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, the MoFi Silver Label Vinyl Series features an eclectic mix of recordings. This series is mastered and cut on the famous Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab state-of-the-art Tim de Paravacini-designed mastering system.

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.

They don’t make albums like this anymore, but thankfully, Mobile Fidelity’s extraordinary 180g 45RPM 2LP set allows you to experience this 1970 masterpiece with unrivaled intimacy, realism, detail, and perspective. The Dead might as well be sitting on a Persian carpet right in your living room. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The pinnacle of the Dead’s studio output, American Beauty lives up to its name—as well as that of the “American Reality” ambigram on the iconic cover. Airy vocal harmonies blow like fresh breezes. Strummed acoustic guitars amicably intermingle with plaintive percussive beats. Warmth, relaxation, and poignancy envelop the performances and create sensations of bliss, peace, and honesty. Songs flower with majestic melodies and emotionally direct lyrics. It’s a rare album that invites and makes you feel, restores one’s faith, and renews one’s appreciation for all life offers. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed on 180g LP at RTI, this deluxe analog set possesses seemingly limitless dynamics, reference-grade presence, and expansive soundstages. The seamless, effortless integration of the group’s vocals has always been a high point of American Beauty, and when you hear it here, you’ll want every record you own to sound half as good. Every member’s distinctive singing resounds with tube-like clarity; the intended expressionism is as plain as day. Instruments, too, resonate in glorious Technicolor. The supple tension of Phil Lesh’s bass lines, charismatic timbres of Jerry Garcia’s pedal-steel fills, and interwoven dialogue between the pianos and percussion are rendered with lifelike scale and tone. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Made just months after its companion release, Workingman’s Dead, the San Francisco legends’ second 1970 masterpiece furthers the former work’s close-knit relationship between country and folk while adding extra rock and bluegrass currents. Understated amplified passages, graceful melodies, layered singing, and old-time string flavors—including mandolin work from masterful guest David Grisman—bestow the material with easygoing, comfortable vibes. Again taking advantage of the best songwriting of Robert Hunter’s career, & lt;b & gt;the Dead turns in its most collective studio performance, with every individual contributing equally and focusing on nothing but the songs at hand. & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Indeed, Garcia doesn’t even indulge in a single guitar solo on the record. A majority of fare lacks any significant instrumental breaks. The Dead recorded the foundations (drums, bass, acoustic guitars) of nearly every track live, which helps explain why American Beauty sounds so powerfully rich and clear. Coupled with the band’s personal reflections of the circumstances surrounding them—Bob Weir’s parents had died, Garcia’s mother and Lesh’s father were in the process of passing, Ron “Pigpen” McKernan’s health was in decline—these characteristics combined to yield a purity of heart that exceeds that managed by Dead peers (and roots revivalist leaders) The Band and Bob Dylan. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; From Garcia’s breathtaking gospel-laden homage to his mother (“Brokedown Palace”) to Lesh’s healing salve in the form of the groove-based “Box of Rain,” from Weir’s jaunty and free-wheeling summer escape “Sugar Magnolia” to McKernan’s eloquently simple homespun plea “Operator,” all the way to the closing autobiographical anthem “Truckin’,” American Beauty feels like the warm, spirit-infusing embrace of a loved one after a long journey away.

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.

Yet over the course of the handful of albums he made for Sussex and CBS, the Appalachian native struck lasting emotional chords in legends ranging from Booker T. Jones to Stephen Stills - not to mention the millions of listeners that fell under the spell of now-standard tracks such as & quot;Lean on Me, & quot; & quot;Use Me, & quot; and & quot;Ain't No Sunshine. & quot; The antithesis of the sweaty R & amp;B shouter that prowled the edge of stages, Withers dealt in calm and vulnerability, qualities that come to fore on the seminal Bill Withers' Greatest Hits. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Pressed on 180g LP at RTI, Mobile Fidelity's vinyl reissue of the 1981 compilation provides a transparent view of Withers' relaxing timbre and the subtle grooves underlining his arrangements. Characteristics ranging from the tension of the guitars, funky bends of the bass, whisper-soft coo of the formal strings, airiness of the backing harmonies, and sharpness of the snare drum emerge with utmost clarity and lifelike presence. Always prized for its naked honesty and pure conviction, Withers' music positively caresses the senses on this LP, the unadulterated production and beautiful soundscapes revealed anew with each listen. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Incredibly, Withers almost never got a shot at recording. After receiving a deal from Sussex while laboring as a toilet-seat manufacturer, he landed in the care of Stax bandleader Booker T. Jones, who gathered most of his fellow MG members - along with Stills and Jim Keltner - to assist in Withers' debut. Two takes from those sessions, the Grammy-winning & quot;Ain't No Sunshine & quot; and devotional & quot;Grandma's Hands, & quot; are included here, and showcase the vocalist's incredible breath control, folksy drawl, and restrained phrasing. They also indicate his penchant for converting biographical experience into eminently catchy combinations of pop, gospel, blues, and soul. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Evidence of Withers' crossover appeal is found not only via his chart successes on both the pop and R & amp;B charts, but in the DNA of his best work. There's not one forgettable moment on Greatest Hits. Covered by the likes of Fiona Apple, Mick Jagger, Isaac Hayes, Alicia Keys, and dozens more, & quot;Use Me & quot; rides a riveting clarinet riff and urban tempo to express the double-edged feelings associated with an edgy relationship. On the loping & quot;Who Is He (And What Is He to You?), & quot; Withers again splits the bitter and sweet. For the Latin-tinged & quot;Lovely Day, & quot; Withers holds a single note for 18 seconds and composed a song that's been sampled and rerecorded countless times by artists spanning Diana Ross to R. Kelly. And with & quot;Lean on Me, & quot; the West Virginian devised a masterpiece that's been for more than four decades part of the classic American songbook, an updated hymn carried to immortality by members of the Charles Wright & amp; 103rd Street Rhythm Band. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;A veritable template for British soul contemporaries like Sam Smith and an extension of the timeless fare explored by Van Morrison, Curtis Mayfield, and Al Green, Bill Withers' Greatest Hits belongs in every music lover's library. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Specially Plated and Pressed on 180 grams of High Definition Vinyl & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Special Static Free - Dust Free Inner Sleeve & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Heavy Duty Protective Packaging & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Pressed at RTI & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side One: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Just the Two Of Us & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Use Me & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Ain't No Sunshine & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lovely Day & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;I Want To Spend The Night & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side Two: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Soul Shadows & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lean On Me & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Grandma's Hands & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Hello Like Before & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Who Is He (And What Is He To You?) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

The potent 1969 record confronts war, politics, greed, and environmental ruin in head-on fashion matched by few peers. Steeped in the belief people and music could transform the world, it steers the band in community-minded and county-rock directions, and features charged playing by guest luminaries such as Jerry Garcia, Stephen Stills, David Crosby, and Nicky Hopkins. Volunteers also benefits from being one of the first 16-track recordings. And now, the historic set can be heard in the fidelity the artists and producers intended. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed at RTI, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 45RPM 2LP set of Volunteers teems with soul-affirming energy, dynamics, immediacy, and standout textures. The wider and deeper grooves translate into finer pacing, enhanced information retrieval, and superior transparency. Soundstages stretch far and extend back, with instrumental separation giving all of the musicians their own place in the mix. As a result, subtle albeit important details – Hopkins' rollicking piano, guitarist Norma Kaukonen's biting tones, Garcia's deft pedal-steel work – emerge in three-dimensional fashion amidst a musical canvas that manages to be both edgy and produced, raw and revealing. Jefferson Airplane has never sounded more vital. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Much had changed in America – and within Jefferson Airplane – in just the two short years since the release of the San Francisco collective's breakthrough smash Surrealistic Pillow. The countercultural movement had darkened, government involvement in Vietnam escalated, and regard for human rights fallen. Retreating from the excessive experimentalism that graced its prior two LPs, the Airplane responded to the social circumstances with defiant, assured, and cohesive songs shot through with driving psychedelia, crunchy acid-rock, and rustic country. From start to finish, it's the aural equivalent of a demonstration march. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Having drawn attention for the inclusion of profanities in multiple tunes, the Top 20 LP also ran up against the nonprofit Volunteers of America after the sextet wanted to title the record Volunteers of Amerika in order to express further dissatisfaction with the country. While Grace Slick and Co. gave into the charity's desires to switch the name, there's nothing compromising about Volunteers. Kaukonen's leads cut searing swaths through urgent fare like & quot;Eskimo Blue Day & quot; and anthemic & quot;We Can Be Together, & quot; which boldly speaks out against convention and in favor of chaos and anarchy. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Indeed, in organizing a pseudo summit of many of the counterculture's leading musical figures to participate on Volunteers, the Airplane treats the album as an orchestrated stance against the establishment. Stills and Crosby assist in rocking the boat on a turbulent cover of & quot;Wooden Ships & quot; lined with Slick and Marty Balin's overlapping lead vocals. Hopkins gooses the call-to-arms title track with frisky boogie-woogie lines. Garcia lends & quot;The Farm & quot; a suitable rustic vibe, and on his final appearance with the Airplane, drummer Spencer Dryden helms the pastoral sing-a-long & quot;A Song for All Seasons. & quot; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Ranked #373 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, Volunteers remains a cultural and musical touchstone. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • 45rpm Speed 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; • Pressed at RTI & lt;br & gt; • Gatefold Jacket & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Grace Slick, vocals, piano, organ & lt;br & gt; Paul Kantner, vocals, rhythm guitar & lt;br & gt; Marty Balin, vocals, percussion & lt;br & gt; Jorma Kaukonen, lead guitar, vocals & lt;br & gt; Jack Casady, bass & lt;br & gt; Spencer Dryden, drums, percussion & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Additional Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Nicky Hopkins, piano & lt;br & gt; Stephen Stills, hammond organ & lt;br & gt; Jerry Garcia, pedal steel guitar & lt;br & gt; Joey Covington, congas & lt;br & gt; David Crosby, music sailboat & lt;br & gt; Ace Of Cups, vocals & lt;br & gt; Bill Laudner, vocals & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

A thematic bookend to the preceding Sorcerer, the 1967 set shares much in common with its equally nuanced predecessor yet deviates by way of its focus on rhythm and exploratory soundscapes. The low-key music blooms with colorful bouquets of shadings, gradations, and overtones that on Mobile Fidelity's analog edition bring listeners to closer to the creative passions than ever before. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed on 180g 45RPM vinyl at RTI, this collectable audiophile version of Nefertiti joins the ranks of eleven other essential Davis records given supreme sonic and packaging treatment by Mobile Fidelity. Afforded supreme dynamics and full-range extension, cyclical melodies resonate with a moody character and ambience normally only heard in small jazz clubs. Instrumental pitch, too, is spot-on accurate, a measuring stick for how all acoustic-based passages should be experienced. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; As he does on Sorcerer, Davis again cedes all compositional duties to his all-star band mates and focuses on his trumpet. Familiar albeit slightly dissonant, rooted in hard bop yet signaling the onset of fusion, the songs are grounded in inquisitive interplay and subconscious impressionism. Nefertiti reveals fresh devices and new directions every time you visit its cerebral worlds. And while each musician is given ample room to solo, the effort stands as an example of groupthink in that no individual stands out or shows off. The groundbreaking title track—during which the horn section recurrently repeats the melody as drummer Tony Williams and bassist Ron Carter improvise, thus inverting the conventional sense of a rhythm section—shines as a textbook example of such chemistry and unity. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Throughout, the players' confidence, and Davis' trust in them, stamps every piece with rare self-assurance and authoritativeness. In particular, Williams and Carter bring rhythms to the forefront as the horns hypnotize and Herbie Hancock's piano points in several different directions like a compass gone crazy. Responsible for “Madness” and “Riot,” Hancock contributes brief bursts of speed and slight aggression, but on a record on which complexity and introspection take precedent over blowing hot, the aural steam ultimately becomes opportunity for burrowing into unpredictable turns and deep grooves. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Indeed, the thrilling sense of interplay and inclination of the ensemble to keep searching, moving forward in a concerted manner to uncover then-unheard jazz discoveries, marks Nefertiti as one of Davis' quintessential efforts. For historians, it's the signpost to the pioneering fusion the leader would begin to pursue with greater commitment on the record's follow-up, Miles in the Sky. For the rest of us, the album is music and music-making at its intriguing best. & 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!

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.

Ranked by Rolling Stone as the 461st greatest album ever made in 2012, (just above the Beatles & quot;Please Please Me & quot; album) and named by Mojo the second-greatest psychedelic set in history, the effort is an internationally recognized seminal work of art. Transcending language and convention, its magnitude and magnificence need to be heard again and again. For here is an effort whose mind-boggling acoustic complexities and kaleidoscopic nuances are tailored for high-fidelity playback. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's numbered limited-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP set affords the masterpiece the white-gloves treatment and golden-hued analog sonics it has always deserved. Nearly unlimited headroom, vast instrumental separation, transparent clarity, artifact-free atmospherics, and faithful balances appear out of jet-black backgrounds. The music appears to float on clouds, with the woody tones emanated by the acoustic guitars and brassy signatures of horns emerging with lifelike detail. Turn it up as loud as you want; the sole limitation will be your system's potential. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Commercially ignored upon release in November 1967, Forever Changes confronts the alienation, paranoia, violence, and strife that would soon plague the countercultural movement and send the Summer of Love into a tailspin. Apart from its lyrical themes and profetic malaise, the record's enduring nature equally owes to intertwined arrangements sewn together with Latin guitar-picked lines, finessed folk harmonies, mariachi-inspired horn charts, and subdued strings. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The seemingly opposing combination – ominous, dark reflections situated amidst lush, light melodic beds – affords Forever Changes a distinguished tension of claustrophobia and openness, dourness and ecstasy, ugliness and elegance enjoyed by no other record in the rock canon. Much of the contrast owes to leader Arthur Lee's mental state and pertinent observations. Lee, whose suppressed romanticism often surfaces even amidst the blackest shadows and most cynical moments, believed he would soon die, and hence channeled everything from lasting hopes to acid-addled decay to the chilling testimony of a Vietnam veteran in his narratives. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Alternatively sad and beautiful, the album-opening and flamenco-inspired & quot;Alone Again Or & quot; establishes the mood for what follows. Vocals overlap and soar; tempos rise and fall; surrealism trades places with reality. Forever Changes thrives both because of and in spite of a surfeit of labyrinthine chords and difficult notes that never repeat. Its ambitious construction almost forced the already fractured band to cede responsibilities to session musicians, which appear on two tracks. The quintet's resolve to not only complete the album, but to do so with such poignancy and curiosity, further enhances Forever Changes' standing. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; No wonder that, in the twilight of his troubled career, Lee performed the record in its entirely during concerts met with overwhelming critical acclaim. It was, and will always be, a personal manifesto of timeless relevance and appeal. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • 45rpm Speed 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; • Gatefold Jacket & 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 1: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Eric Clapton performing in the studio with Duane Allman, Bobby Whitlock, Carl Radle, and more for the only time. A batch of fire-pot blues, poignant gospel, and searing rock – all birthed from the leader's insatiable lust for his friend George Harrison's wife. Now, experience it all, and one of the most famous guitar solos and codas in history, in unsurpassed sound courtesy of this quintessential Mobile Fidelity reissue. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed at RTI, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 2LP set exposes the brilliance of Tom Dowd's original production and the scope of the virtuoso musicians' playing. You've never been closer to the aching vocals, stinging leads, tormented emotions, or wowing intensity that grace every track. Clapton's tones emerge with unprecedented soulfulness. Afforded its own space in the mix, Allman's slide guitar passages crackle with urgency. All-important sonic components such as soundstaging, imaging, and dynamics transport you to the actual event. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Then, of course, there's the title track – crowned the 27th greatest song of all time by Rolling Stone. What to say about the outro – arguably the most famous, passionately penetrating, visceral, double-edged guitar solo in history. Clapton's strings weeping with longing, hope, regret, unrequited love. It deserves the best-possible sonic platform, and receives it here, on a pressing that brings Slowhand's every finger moment into great relief. Get inside Clapton's head, burrow into the conflicted emotions fluttering in his heart as he pines for another man's wife, and in the process, produces an album that forever lives in the souls of anyone who's ever loved and lost. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Clapton's pained yearning permeates everything here. Works such as the swampy & quot;Tell the Truth, & quot; the pleading & quot;Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad?, & quot; and blues-drenched & quot;Have You Ever Loved a Woman? & quot; attest to his raw-nerve discomfort, guilt, and desire. He leaves teardrops on the microphone stand and blood on the floor, singing and playing as if his life depends on it and if, by some miracle, the music will serve as both a confessional and apology to Harrison. It's all magnified by Clapton achieving a spiritual and sonic oneness with his band, which matches his high-stakes precision with a rolling, tumbling looseness. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Allman adds firepower and achieves a still-unrivaled simpatico bond with Clapton, but each participant soars. Consider: The call-and-response, Sam and Dave-derived vocal exchanges between Whitlock and Clapton. Rich, creamy, Southern-stoked blends of R & amp;B, blues, and soul. Vibrant tapestries in which the pianos, bass, guitars, and voices explode with ravishing fervor, naturalism, and desperation. Indeed, maybe a combo this great was only intended one shot in the studio. Perhaps the paralyzing degree of potency on display here, and the musicianship that remains the standard by which any blues-rock is judged, is meant to be preserved as one standalone record. Whatever the case, this is the analog version to own. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • Double LP & 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.

Featuring one of the most indelible riffs ever played, Foghat's air-guitar anthem & quot;Slow Ride & quot; is such a tune. The hit single turned the British band into stars and catapulted 1975's Fool For The City up the charts. And what a ride it is. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;We hear a lot of yearning today about the good-old, glory days of rock and roll, the simple kind that just locked into a good beat, turned out a raunchy groove, and simply kicked you in the butt. The no-pretense type meant for kicking back, letting loose, and surrendering to the melody. Bare-bones music that doesn't need image or looks as a crutch. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Well, this is it, friends, classic meat-and-potatoes '70s rock that comes with killer slide-guitar solos, crunchy leads, driving rhythms, and soaring vocals. No need for any further instructions or explanations. The pact between artist and audience is understood. Here, the band trusts that you know what to do and is ready to rock out with anyone in earshot. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Sourced from the original master tapes by trusty engineers that were just stunned at the amount of new detail they were able to pull from the tape reels, Mobile Fidelity's remaster of this Foghat gem bring to the surface the band's marble-solid sturdiness and bluesy structures like never before. Bass notes are thicker and richer, the dual guitars bite and snap, and Lonesome Dave Peverett's singing comes across with realistic grit. By comparison, all previous pressings of this album sound flat, uninspired, and boxy--the absolute opposite of the energy Foghat brings to the boogie-infused title track, great cover of the Righteous Brothers' & quot;My Babe & quot;, and, of course, the everlasting & quot;Slow Ride & quot;, a staple of the Guitar Hero video game franchise and gentlemen's clubs everywhere. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;quote source & quot; & gt; Fool For the City, Foghat's fifth album, reveals a band keenly aware of its strengths. They have the knack for turning a simple riff into a dense, driving number free of the excesses of other rock groups. Foghat's music is so sturdy, succinct and infections that one wonders why they haven't attained more prominence. This band may well be only a single away - and 'Fool For the City' may well be that single! & lt;footer & gt; -Bud Scoppa, Rolling Stone, December 1975 & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Limited to 1 Copy Per Customer & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g Vinyl LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Mastered from the original tapes for explosive sound & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Fool For The City & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;My Babe & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Slow Ride & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Terraplane Blues & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Save Your Loving & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Drive Me Home & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Take It Or Leave It & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

Considered by many fans to be the group's most complete album, the 1980 set witnesses leader Mark Knopfler greatly expanding his songwriting palette and setting his storytelling amidst more complex, involving arrangements. Dire Straits also benefits from crucial contributions from Bruce Springsteen pianist Roy Bittan and the departure of rhythm guitarist David Knopfler. The songs spark with a m & amp;#233;lange of poetry, passion, and cohesion that engages the senses and begs to be experienced again and again. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed at RTI, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 45RPM 2LP set of Making Movies breathes with reference-caliber airiness, spaciousness, dynamics, and separation. Produced by Jimmy Iovine and Knopfler, the record - which contains many Springsteen-esque elements - features the cleanliness and clarity that have long been Dire Straits trademarks. The extra-wide 45RPM grooves on this edition provide previously unattainable detail, information, and soundstaging. This is what audiophile recordings are all about. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;You know you're in the presence of sonic greatness as soon as the first few seconds of the opening & quot;Tunnel of Love & quot; pass, as the introductory passage built on organ and piano - new additions to Dire Straits' palette - intertwine with the unmistakable coil-spring twang of Knopfler's guitar. The three-dimensional, full-bodied presentation of the latter instrument on this Mobile Fidelity LP is alone worth the price of admission. Crisp, rich, and balanced, the analog sound brings Knopfler's Fender Vibrolux and Music Man HD130 amplifiers into your room. The romanticism of Bittan's piano, precision timekeeping of drummer Pick Withers, and steady roll of bassist John Illsley come across with similar potency, scale, and verve. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Always more about the whole than the sum of their individual parts, Dire Straits demonstrate that while Knopfler is the lynchpin, this record is a true band effort. Bittan's role cannot be overstated. His melodicism poetically complements Knopfler's subtle staccato rhythms and more than makes up for the exit of David Knopfler. Expansive and cinematic, the aptly titled Making Movies puts a premium on interrelated subjects (love, relationships, heartbreak) and deep-seated emotions that play out in heartfelt lyrics, intense singing, and epic frameworks. Everything clicks. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;The album's power isn't lost on Iovine, who later told Rolling Stone: & quot;The right people were in the room together. It really was making a record in the pure sense of the term. The whole thing sounds like one song. But you what that is? That's the writing, the guy who wrote it. He wrote the album like that; he wanted to make the album like that. & quot; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Indeed, the first five tracks - & quot;Tunnel of Love, & quot; & quot;Romeo and Juliet, & quot; & quot;Skateaway, & quot; & quot;Expresso Love, & quot; & quot;Hand in Hand & quot; - comprise a mini-suite united by theme, harmony, and spirit. Every member of the newly configured Dire Straits has a say in the shaping of the material. There's not a note out of place. Iovine and Knopfler's standout production puts it over the top. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Limited to 1 Copy Per Customer & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;45rpm & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Production and Mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Specially Plated and Pressed on 180 grams of High Definition Vinyl & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Special Static Free - Dust Free Inner Sleeve & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Heavy Duty Protective Packaging & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Mastered From Original Master Tapes & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Pressed at RTI & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Tunnel Of Love & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Romeo And Juliet & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Skateaway & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Expresso Love & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Hand In Hand & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Solid Love & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Les Boys & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

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.

Revered by audiophiles, the Steely Dan co-founder's 1982 set immediately became a demonstration disc at hi-fi shows and audio salons the world over. It also quickly emerged as an irreplaceable monitor-evaluating tool for recording-studio engineers and front-of-the-house testing device for concert-venue soundboard engineers who continue to use it today. Painstakingly recorded over eight months by illustrious producer Gary Katz and a Hall of Fame-worthy cast of perfectionist-minded musicians, The Nightfly endures as a rare trifecta of superlative performance, consummate songwriting, and crisp, benchmark production. Mobile Fidelity gives this seminal effort unsurpassed treatment befitting the most serious music connoisseurs. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Fagen's solo debut reaches three-dimensional sonic and emotional heights never before attained by analog recordings on & lt;b & gt;Mobile Fidelity's opulent UD1S (UltraDisc One-Step) box set & lt;/b & gt;. Strictly limited to 5,000 numbered copies, this ultra-hi-fi collector's edition literally and figuratively brings you closer to music that picks up where Steely Dan's Gaucho leaves off. You'll enjoy deep-black backgrounds, boundless soundstaging, pointillist details, staggering dynamics, and arguably, the most lifelike tonalities and nuances ever committed to vinyl. Experienced via UD1S, The Nightfly places Fagen and his session pros in your listening room. Every note, breath, and movement is reproduced with exquisite accuracy, wowing clarity, and impeccable balance. Consider this edition your new go-to reference. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The & lt;b & gt;lavish packaging and beautiful presentation & lt;/b & gt; of Mobile Fidelity's The Nightfly pressing & lt;b & gt;befit its extremely select status & lt;/b & gt;. Housed in a deluxe box, this UD1S version contains special foil-stamped jackets and faithful-to-the-original graphics that illuminate the splendor of the recording. No expense has been spared. Aurally and visually, this reissue of The Nightfly is a curatorial artifact meant to be preserved, poured over, touched, and examined. It is made for discerning listeners that prize sound quality and creativity, and who desire to fully immerse themselves in the art – and everything involved with the album, from the images to the textures and liner notes. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Nominated for seven Grammy Awards, The Nightfly & lt;b & gt; & quot;represent[s] certain fantasies that might have been entertained by a young man growing up in the remote suburbs of a northeastern city during the late fifties and early sixties, i.e., one of my general height, weight, and build, & quot; & lt;/b & gt; pens Fagen in the liner notes, revealing the work's thematic thrust and wistful, nostalgic appeal. At their core, songs look at the world via an optimistic, mindfully innocent lens and through the eyes of an adolescent holed up in his bedroom with his ear to a radio whose exciting transmissions inspire thoughts of futuristic cities, late-night deejays, otherworldly hopes, and Cold War romances. Cinema for the ears, The Nightfly comes on like a film transferred to wax – its stories filled with relatable vulnerability, ambition, and warmth. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; It is also timelessly cool, with everything from the iconic album cover – complete with Fagen in the role of a cigarette-smoking disk jockey spinning a Sonny Rollins album on an RCA turntable at 4:09 in the morning – to the flawless playing honoring the laid-back, hip, stylish jazz pedigree of the arrangements. Indeed, The Nightfly's fame owes as much to the stunning contributions by stickler musicians – saxophonist Michael Brecker, trumpeter Randy Brecker, guitarist Larry Carlton, drummer Steve Jordan, bassist Marcus Miller, drummer Jeff Porcaro, and & quot;Harmonica Frank & quot; Floyd included – as it does the particulars behind its creation, which involved cutting-edge technology, novel microphoning techniques, and pioneering recording methods that gave Fagen exactly what he demanded. His insistence on dialing in exacting drum sounds is by itself the stuff of legend. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The results of the meticulous sessions transcend eras and generations – part of its very design. Virtually every track connects with classic '50s and '60s styles. & quot;Green Flower Street & quot; doubles as an homage to the jazz standard & quot;On Green Dolphin Street. & quot; The title track draws imagery from blues pioneer Charley Patton. & quot;Ruby Baby & quot; references soul greats the Drifters. & quot;Maxine & quot; nods to harmonies perfected by big-band vocal quartets like the Four Freshmen. & quot;The Goodbye Look & quot; acknowledges the bossa-nova craze of Fagen's youth. In all respects, The Nightfly rules the airwaves. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;More About Mobile Fidelity UltraDisc One-Step and Why It Is Superior & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Instead of utilizing the industry-standard three-step lacquer process, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's new UltraDisc One-Step (UD1S) uses only one step, bypassing two processes of generational loss. While three-step processing is designed for optimum yield and efficiency, UD1S is created for the ultimate in sound quality. Just as Mobile Fidelity pioneered the UHQR (Ultra High-Quality Record) with JVC in the 1980s, UD1S again represents another state-of-the-art advance in the record-manufacturing process. MFSL engineers begin with the original master tapes and meticulously cut a set of lacquers. These lacquers are used to create a very fragile, pristine UD1S stamper called a & quot;convert. & quot; Delicate & quot;converts & quot; are then formed into the actual record stampers, producing a final product that literally and figuratively brings you closer to the music. By skipping the additional steps of pulling another positive and an additional negative, as done in the three-step process used in standard pressings, UD1S produces a final LP with the lowest noise floor possible today.

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.

It's true that the record holds together better than its predecessors because it has a clear, professional production, but the real key is the songs. Where their previous albums were cluttered with generic filler, nearly every song on Sports has a huge hook. And even if the News aren't bothered by breaking new ground, there's no denying that the craftmanship on Sports is pretty infectious. There's a reason why well over half of the album ( & quot;The Heart of Rock & amp; Roll, & quot; & quot;Heart and Soul, & quot; & quot;I Want a New Drug, & quot; & quot;Walking on a Thin Line, & quot; & quot;If This Is It & quot;) were huge American hit singles -- they have instantly memorable hooks, driven home with economical precision by a tight bar band, who are given just enough polish to make them sound like superstars. And that's just what Sports made them. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Mastered Directly from the Original Master Tapes! & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; 1/2 Speed Mastered Original Master Recording Series & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Specially Plated and Pressed on JVC's High Definition Super Vinyl & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Pressed in Japan & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Special Static Free-Dust Free Inner Sleeve & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & 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!

These uplifting reasons – to say nothing about the gorgeous songwriting, meticulous production, and watershed performances – attest to why it is more relevant than ever in our current climate. Music, Bridge over Troubled Water simultaneously suggests and proves, heals all wounds and lifts all boats. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Simon and Garfunkel's epochal album reaches three-dimensional sonic and emotional heights never before attained on Mobile Fidelity's opulent UD1S (UltraDisc One-Step) box set. Strictly limited to 7,500 numbered copies, this ultra-hi-fi collector's edition literally and figuratively brings you closer to music that picks up where the duo's Bookends leaves off. You'll enjoy deep-black backgrounds, boundless soundstaging, pointillist details, staggering dynamics, and arguably, the most lifelike tonalities and nuances ever committed to vinyl. Experienced via UD1S, Bridge over Troubled Water places Simon, Garfunkel, and their cadre of session pros in your listening room. Every note, breath, and movement is reproduced with exquisite accuracy, wowing clarity, and impeccable balance. Consider this edition your new go-to reference. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The lavish packaging and beautiful presentation of Mobile Fidelity's Bridge over Troubled Water pressing befit its extremely select status. Housed in a deluxe box, this UD1S version contains a unique print, special foil-stamped jackets, and faithful-to-the-original graphics that illuminate the splendor of the recording. No expense has been spared. Aurally and visually, this reissue of Bridge over Troubled Water exists a curatorial artifact meant to be preserved, poured over, touched, and examined. It is made for discerning listeners that prize sound quality and creativity, and who desire to fully immerse themselves in the art – and everything involved with the album, from the images to the textures and liner notes. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The best-selling record in the U.S. for several years running, and winner of six Grammy Awards – including nods for Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Engineered Recording – Bridge over Troubled Water endures as a staple of accessible sophistication, angelic elegance, effortless singing, unhinged ambition, and therapeutic spirit. While it would turn out to be the final studio set for a duo surrounded by creative and personal disagreement, Simon and Garfunkel's collaborative ethos and soaring harmonies – combined with reflective narratives centered on the American experience, friendship, romance, and farewells – combine to turn the 11-track work into a paean to resolution, reconciliation, calm, and balance. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Home to the legendary title track graced by Garfunkel's pacifying solo lead vocals as well as the equally famous folk ballad & quot;The Boxer, & quot; Peruvian-based & quot;El Condor Past (If I Could), & quot; upbeat & quot;Cecilia, & quot; and rock n' rolling & quot;Baby Driver & quot; – recently the inspiration behind the film of the same name – Bridge over Troubled Water remains as renowned for its musical diversity as its lyrical poignancy. Moving beyond the templates they'd perfected on four prior albums, Simon and Garfunkel embrace a then-unimaginable swath of styles. Rock, pop, gospel, country, R & amp;B, South American, and jazz strains course throughout the songs, each sparked with bold experiments yet grounded in a well-orchestrated melange of melody, rhythm, and classicism that makes every note feel personal, familiar, and warm. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Not for nothing is Bridge over Troubled Water one of the finest-sounding albums ever made. Featuring instrumentation helmed by members of Los Angeles' fabled Wrecking Crew as well as multiple choral and string sections, songs took hundreds of hours to complete and involved pioneering recording techniques. Evoking both Phil Spector's live & quot;Wall of Sound & quot; approach as well as inventive effects, Bridge over Troubled Water is a triumph of texture, atmosphere, and architecture. Mobile Fidelity's premier UD1S edition brings the record's unique traits to the fore. Whether the reverberation generated by Garfunkel's cassette recorder on & quot;Cecilia, & quot; echoing drums captured in a corridor heard throughout & quot;The Boxer, & quot; automobile noises peppering & quot;Baby Driver, & quot; layer upon layer of voices dotting & quot;The Only Boy Living in New York, & quot; or echo-chamber percussion on the title track, each and every detail comes through with unprecedented accuracy, clarity, and dimensionality. In every regard, Bridge over Troubled Water exudes genius. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;More About Mobile Fidelity UltraDisc One-Step and Why It Is Superior & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Instead of utilizing the industry-standard three-step lacquer process, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's new UltraDisc One-Step (UD1S) uses only one step, bypassing two processes of generational loss. While three-step processing is designed for optimum yield and efficiency, UD1S is created for the ultimate in sound quality. Just as Mobile Fidelity pioneered the UHQR (Ultra High-Quality Record) with JVC in the 1980s, UD1S again represents another state-of-the-art advance in the record-manufacturing process. MFSL engineers begin with the original master tapes and meticulously cut a set of lacquers. These lacquers are used to create a very fragile, pristine UD1S stamper called a & quot;convert. & quot; Delicate & quot;converts & quot; are then formed into the actual record stampers, producing a final product that literally and figuratively brings you closer to the music. By skipping the additional steps of pulling another positive and an additional negative, as done in the three-step process used in standard pressings, UD1S produces a final LP with the lowest noise floor possible today. The removal of the additional two steps of generational loss in the plating process reveals tremendous amounts of extra musical detail and dynamics, which are otherwise lost due to the standard copying process. The exclusive nature of these very limited pressings guarantees that every UD1S pressing serves as an immaculate replica of the lacquer sourced directly from the original master tape. Every conceivable aspect of vinyl production is optimized to produce the most perfect record album available today. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.analogplanet.com & quot; & gt; These double 45rpm single-step AAA boxed set pressings are as good as vinyl records get. If they don't sound good on your system, it's your system (with the exception of Bridge Over Troubled Water, which was cut from a 'tired' tape, though it sounds as good as that tape can today sound). & lt;footer & gt; -Michael Fremer, Analog Planet's Best Reissues of the Decade, March 2020 & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Numbered, Limited Edition - Only 7500 Copies & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; UltraDisc One-Step & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; 45rpm Speed Edition & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; 2LP Box Set & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Special foil-stamped jackets & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Housed in an opulent box & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Production and Mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

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.

Rushmore of jazz sessions! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; How does one properly introduce an epochal record? Perhaps by unequivocally stating that it is the best-selling jazz album in history. Or by affirming that, every year, it sells tens of thousands of copies more than five decades after its original release. There's also the matter of its status as the most-referenced, and arguably, most important, jazz recording of all-time. And the Dream Team lineup of Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb. Yes, Kind of Blue is utterly inimitable. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Part of Mobile Fidelity's Miles Davis catalog restoration series, the landmark has been given the ultimate white-gloves treatment. Mastered from the original master tapes, and pressed on 45RPM LPs at RTI, this sumptuous box set of the often-reissued album is a must for even fans that already possess multiple versions. Such is the illuminating transparency, reference dynamics, organic warmth, and instrumental detail exposed by the thoroughly scrupulous mastering process. If there's a stairway to heaven, this is the soundtrack. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; In its three-decade-plus history, Mobile Fidelity has never been prouder to have the honor of handling efforts as important as Davis' key recordings. It's why the label's engineers took every available measure to transport listeners to the March and April 1959 sessions that parlayed modal jazz into mainstream language. The blueprint for melodic improvisation and vamping, Kind of Blue simplifies tonal organization and chordal progression into an eminently beautiful, introspective tapestry stitched with swinging poetry, mellifluous soloing, compositional lyricism, transcendental harmonies, and group interplay of the highest caliber. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; While no one has ever completely identified the magic behind the record's allure--the otherworldly nature is part of its inherent charm--much of the success lies with the band members. Davis intentionally handpicked these musicians to comprise this particular cast, with everyone from former foil Evans to blues maestro Kelly to percussive genius Cobb interacting and reacting with peerless skill. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; An audiophile favorite from the day it was issued, Kind of Blue takes on nirvanic sonic proportions via Mobile Fidelity's reissue. The expressive warmth, imaging clarity, frequency extension, and window-on-the-world breadth afforded by this new edition places music lovers right in the studio with the sextet. Close your eyes and, no matter how many times you may have heard it before, your experience will parallel that of the players that recorded these gems. Everyone shares in the excitement of not knowing what will happen and, as the music begins to lie out in front of you, you'll feel as if you've been whisked away to a jazz holy land. Quintessential. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Limited to 1 Copy Per Customer & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; 45rpm Speed Edition & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Half-Speed Production and Mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab & 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; Mastered from the Original Master Tapes & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Miles Davis, trumpet, band leader & lt;br & gt; Julian & quot;Cannonball & quot; Adderley, alto sax (except on & quot;Blue in Green & quot;) & lt;br & gt; John Coltrane, tenor sax & lt;br & gt; Paul Chambers, double bass & lt;br & gt; Bill Evans, piano (except & quot;Freddie Freeloader & quot;) & lt;br & gt; Wynton Kelly, piano ( & quot;Freddie Freeloader & quot;) & lt;br & gt; Jimmy Cobb, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Side 1 & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

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.

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.

Rex's Exotic Landmark Signals the Birth of Glam Rock, Features & quot;Bang a Gong (Get It On) & quot;: Electric Warrior Swaggers with Libido, Flamboyance, Fantasy, Fun, Hooks, and Theatricality & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt; Mastered on Mobile Fidelity's State-of-the-Art Mastering System: 180g 45RPM Vinyl 2LP Set Presents the 1971 Record's Reverb, Colors, Tones, and String Arrangements in Full-Tilt Glory & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Bang a gong and get it on. At once sardonic, flamboyant, and trashy, T. Rex's uncommonly unique Electric Warrior catapulted leader Marc Bolan to stardom, triggered an ongoing fascination with glam rock, and launched a movement that soon involved David Bowie, Roxy Music, Mott the Hoople, and more. Yet none of those namesake artists ever released a record that out-glammed, out-innuendoed, out-thrusted, or out-camped Electric Warrior - named the 160th Greatest Album of All Time by Rolling Stone and included in the celebrated book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt; Mastered on Mobile Fidelity's state-of-the-art mastering system, pressed on dead-quiet vinyl at RTI, and housed in a gatefold sleeve, the label's numbered-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP set gives the 1971 landmark the widescreen sound quality it has always deserved. Tony Visconti's warm, reverb-soaked production and Roy Thomas Baker's ace engineering remain two of the work's most famous and revered elements. Here, the production and music can be experienced in all its full-tilt glory, from the subtle albeit elegant classical touches to the instantly identifiable Les Paul guitar licks to Bolan's sensual, wispy, are-they-or-aren't-they-serious vocals. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt; As Sean Egan wrote in the liner notes of a long-out-of-print reissue: & lt;strong & gt; & quot;The sound is recognizably rock, yet a previously unheard exotic variant, almost as if concocted by inhabitants of one of the Tolkien-esque worlds common in Bolan's lyrics. The strings are overt but discreet in shape and tone, injecting just the right amount of class. & quot; & lt;/strong & gt; All these aspects and more come to life with a realism, vibrancy, detail, and textural palpability that surpass the presentation on any prior analog edition. If you can hear colors, this audiophile version of Electric Warrior will stimulate your inner synesthesia. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt; At the time of the album's creation, such cosmic-related phenomenon were well within Bolan's orbit. But the differences between Electric Warrior and the singer/guitarist's earlier works are as vast as those that divide high art and low-brow culture. Chief among them: Bolan's decision to channel his acoustic hippie-inspired visions into hyper-sexualized, metaphor-rich statements that benefit from amplified foundations. And still, part of the songs' charm relates to how they tread a fine line between rock and pop. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt; Save for the lashing out of & quot;Rip Off, & quot; Electric Warrior retains a mellow core underlined by a gauzy tint, gossamer temperament, and crushed-velvet feel. The perception that the record contains blustery heaviness is furthered - and initiated - by the now-iconic album cover, which depicts a giant-sized Bolan standing in front of an equally giant amplifier stack, striking a rock-star pose and giving the impression everything within is designed to go to the proverbial 11 on the volume knob. Akin to a majority of the songs themselves, the visual functions as clever illusion, absurd humor, ostentatious simplicity, and playful pretense. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt; Bursting with excessive fun and unchecked libido, T. Rex's catchy boogies, shuffles, and vamps scoot by on a seemingly impossible blend of concise hooks, non-sequitur fantasies, and theatrical swagger. From the chart-topping & quot;Bang a Gong (Get It On) & quot; to the beautiful & quot;Life's a Gas, & quot; the R & amp;B-stoked hit & quot;Jeepster & quot; to the pout of & quot;Motivator & quot; and galactic soul of & quot;Planet Queen, & quot; Bolan, percussionist Mickey Finn, and boards manipulator Visconti craft a rewardingly strange, parallel universe of sound, style, and sex that still has no equal. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g Double LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;45rpm & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Production and Mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Specially Plated and Pressed on 180 grams of High Definition Vinyl & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Special Static Free - Dust Free Inner Sleeve & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Heavy Duty Protective Packaging & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Pressed On Dead-Quiet Vinyl at RTI & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side One: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Mambo Sun & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Cosmic Dancer & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side Two: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Jeepster & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Monolith & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lean Woman Blues & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side Three: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Bang A Gong (Get It On) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Planet Queen & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Girl & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side Four: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Motivator & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Life's A Gas & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Rip Off & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

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.

Pressed at RTI! & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Introspective, Almost-Hallucinogenic 1962 Album a Pinnacle for Both Jazz Icons & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Guitarist Hall Aids Pianist Evans in Rebounding from Tragedy & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Diverse Set Encompasses Ballads, Waltzes, Hard-Swinging Bop & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Divine Sonics: LP Mastered on Mobile Fidelity’s World-Renowned Mastering System & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Bill Evans catapulted to the top of the jazz world in June 1961 after reeling off three straight masterpiece sessions at New York’s Village Vanguard with his trio. Yet the emotional highs came to a screeching halt shortly thereafter when bassist Scott LaFaro died in a car accident. Devastated, Evans refrained from playing for nearly a year. If not for an inspirational collaboration of tremendous creative outpouring, one wonders what fate may have befallen Evans. Undercurrent, the outcome of two studio sessions with guitarist Jim Hall, is that project. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered on Mobile Fidelity’s world-renowned mastering system and pressed at RTI, this Silver Label LP edition bursts forth with brilliant textures, you-are-there realism, and extraordinary tonalities. No other version outside of this analog copy brings you face-to-face with these two jazz giants’ sonic communion, a kind of spiritual musical summit on which Evans’ deft keyboard touches and Hall’s reliably subtle phrasings seamlessly mesh and wonderfully dance, the compositions streaked with natural instrumental decay, full-frequency extensions, and poignant emotionalism that, on this LP, you can feel. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; While Evans managed to sit down for a few one-off takes between LaFaro’s passing and these April-May 1962 dates, he largely remained on hiatus and abstained from recording. Whether it owes to the intimate pairing, he and Hall’s brotherly chemistry, or the exquisite selection of program material, the results consistently come across as the equivalent of a private meditation—such is the level of introspective depth and quietly shaded interplay throughout. For Evans, the duet clearly functions as therapy, a healing episode in which his partner patiently lays back, shadowing moves and suggesting others, neither musician interested in the spotlight but each striving for (and achieving) transcendent beauty. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; In tackling standards such as Rodgers and Hart’s “My Funny Valentine” and the Broadway classic “Darn That Dream,” as well as the Hall original “Romain,” the pair traverses complex harmonies with the astute elegance of a figure skater. At times, Evans and Hall go for broke on a hard-swinging romps, yet it’s their implied melancholy and drifting, softly struck melodic refrains on waltzes and ballads that bestows Undercurrent with a nuanced romanticism and whispered atmosphere befitting the record’s title. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Indeed, even the album’s cover—an iconic photograph by Toni Frissell—exhibits the surreal, almost-hallucinogenic properties of the fare contained within. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; About Silver Series: From Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, the MoFi Silver Label Vinyl Series features an eclectic mix of recordings.

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.

Having achieved status of near-mythical proportions, it is the singer-songwriter record you’d bring to the proverbial desert island if you were limited to one choice. Renowned for its lifelike production, Tapestry now sounds clearer, richer, and more emotional courtesy of Mobile Fidelity’s 180g LP. Audiophiles, this is the version that brings Carole King right before your eyes and into your room. This is the edition you need. It’s the edition you deserve. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Faithful to original album producer Lou Adler’s vision of making King (and not just any pianist player) appear seated and playing in front of listeners, this numbered limited-edition 180g LP delivers utmost transparency, balance, warmth, intimacy, and perhaps most importantly, feeling. Aware of how many times this iconic work has been re-released, Mobile Fidelity engineers settled for nothing less than the absolute finest sonic presentation possible when mastering Tapestry from the original master tapes. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The results mirror what went down in the A & amp;M Studios. Lean, simple, direct, and so nakedly real the sonics evoke what might be heard on a professional demo tape, this collectable LP gives what Rolling Stone deems the 36th Greatest Album of All Time the due it deserves. King’s personal singing, her graceful pianism, the integral rhythmic foundation provided by the likes of drummer Russ Kunkel and guitarist Danny Kortchmar, and the symmetrical contributions of guest instrumentalists ranging from saxophonist Curtis Amy to guitarist James Taylor resonate with three-dimensional imaging and cozy realism. Every note, every basic movement, accurately rendered with exquisite detail and full-bodied tonality. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Indeed, one reason—apart from the flawless songwriting, earnest deliveries, and eloquent performances—Tapestry endures is because of the naturalness of the production and songs. King’s unadulterated articulations on love, conviction, friendship, place, sadness, and companionship ring true because there’s no doubting their meaning, intent, or sincerity. Tapestry makes you feel, and compels you to get closer to the music, and the musicians performing. It is an album of organic nuances, suggestive intents, and engaging melodies. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Thematically, classics such as “You’ve Got a Friend,” “I Feel the Earth Move,” “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” and “(You Make Me Feel Like) a Natural Woman” resonate because they address universal sensibilities and the human condition. They, like all of Tapestry, are relaxed yet emancipating, strong yet mellow, comfortable yet terrifically beautiful and lastingly unique. Four major Grammy Awards, four Top 10 singles, sales of more than 25 million copies, and one of the first albums chosen for inclusion in the National Recording Registry just seem like icing on the cake. & 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.

Engineered by Parsons after he performed the same duties on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, the 1977 record reigns as a disc whose taut bass, crisp highs, clean production, and seemingly limitless dynamic range are matched only by the sensational prog-rock fare helmed by the keyboardist. Not surprisingly, it's been issued multiple times. Can it be improved? Relish Mobile Fidelity's stupendous-sounding 180g 45RPM 2LP set and the question becomes irrelevant. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed at RTI, and afforded the luxurious groove space of a 45RPM LP, I Robot comes to life like never before on this numbered limited-edition reissue. Boasting immaculate highs and lows, generous spaciousness, and see-through transparency that takes you into the studio with Parsons and creative partner Eric Woolfson at Abbey Road, this super-clean edition has been lovingly restored by Mobile Fidelity engineers with the intention of demonstrating the full-range capabilities of the world's best stereo systems. Put simply, there's more music, more information, more detail, more nuance, more everything. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Savor reference-grade soundstages, immersive smoothness, sought-after instrumental separation, three-dimensional imaging, and consummate tonal balances. Able to be played back at high volumes without compromise or fatigue, the analog masterwork is a demonstration record for the ages – the likes of which are no longer being made. Longtime fans can finally rest assured knowing they don't have to pony up hundreds of dollars for older pressings – including three prior Mobile Fidelity versions on LP and CD. This is the very reason you own and invest in high-end audio gear. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Inspired by and loosely based around the Isaac Asimov stories of the same name, I Robot delves into themes of artificial intelligence and technological dominance that make the record increasingly relevant in the 21st century. Lyrically, songs such as & quot;The Voice & quot; call into question human behavior – and their relationship to increasing robotic supremacy – in everyday life. Sonically, Parsons reflects the associated paranoia, dichotomy, and transformation via shifting sci-fi arrangements steeped in drama and moodiness. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; I Robot's absorbing tunes also continue to fascinate due to their perfectionism and innovation. Borrowing from Pink Floyd's strategies, Parsons utilizes a looped sequence on the title track to create new downbeats. & quot;Some Other Time & quot; employs two different lead vocalists and yet gives the illusion only one is involved. Captivating strings, a piccolo trumpet, and bona fide pipe organ grace & quot;Don't Let It Show. & quot; The origins of & quot;Nucleus & quot; stem from a unique analog keyboard concoction dubbed & quot;the Projectron, & quot; devised by Parsons and electronic engineer Keith Johnson. Andrew Powell's orchestral and choral arrangements top it all off, with & quot;Total Eclipse & quot; arriving as an aptly frightening track that presages the climactic & quot;Genesis Ch. 1 V. 32. & quot; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Does man or machine win in the end? Decide with Parsons as you get lost in Mobile Fidelity's definitive pressing. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • 45rpm Speed 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; • Pressed at RTI & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;LP 1 & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;br & gt; & lt;/b & gt; 1.

Recorded in West London in February 1978, the band's tasteful, jazz-inflected set embraces folk, blues, and pub rock while also tracing a direct line back to the beat-oriented sound of early rock n' roll. Country and roots accents further distinguish the British quartet's stripped-down music from any 1970s peers, as does the transparent production, which has remained revered among audiophiles the world over - and which has never been better than on this meticulous analog pressing. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed at RTI, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 45RPM 2LP version of Dire Straits features natural tonalities, superb balances, you-are-there imaging, deep-black backgrounds, and pristine clarity. Even if you've heard this album hundreds of times before, you've never experienced it with such lifelike sonics and premium richness. This numbered, limited-edition collector's set immerses you within the smoky, laidback atmospherics of every song. This is how all vinyl should sound. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Crucial to every arrangement, Mark Knopfler's winding guitar lines emerge with supreme transparency and multi-hued textural detail. His intricate playing comes across as if it's being transmitted via his 60s-era Fender Vibrolux amplifier placed right before you. The cleanliness, dimensions, and live feel are that good. His bandmates, too, benefit from the extra groove space afforded by this 45RPM edition. Rhythms skate and swirl; percussive effects resonate with crispness and attack; the leading edges of notes naturally decay. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Dire Straits' strong, well-edited batch of original material further enhances the overall enjoyment and makes the record one whose pleasures go far beyond the organic sonics. Just as Knopfler's narratives pour forth with poetic and surrealist texts, the musical settings - an intoxicating combination of easygoing shuffles, back-hall boogies, and pop-honed ballads - mirror the old-fashioned soulfulness inherent in the classic recordings of the late 50s and early 60s. The lyrics are equally captivating. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Drawing from his time as a youth in Newcastle, Leeds, and London, Knopfler invests tunes with an autobiographical slant and emotional connectivity that become obvious the moment he opens his mouth to sing. & quot;Down to the Waterline, & quot; & quot;Wild West End, & quot; and & quot;Lions & quot; all feature colloquial touches that add to their reach. By extension, & quot;In the Gallery & quot; functions as a tribute to Leeds sculptor Harry Phillips (father of future Knoplfer collaborator, Steve Phillips) while the record's breakout smash, & quot;Sultans of Swing, & quot; pays homage to struggling bar bands. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Through it all, Dire Straits performs with a subtle cool and clever poise that no band ever matched. Just how good is the chemistry? Bob Dylan heard the quartet and invited Knopfler and drummer Pick Withers to play on Slow Train Coming.

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. This series is mastered and cut on the famous Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab state-of-the-art Tim de Paravacini-designed mastering system.

Lauper’s voice has never sounded more intact, with the processing seeming to ride well on top of her voice, instead of hopelessly polluting it. Clarity, dynamics, instrumental separation, every aspect of the production has been spruced up without making it sound like an unwanted historical revision. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Michael Fremer, www.analogplanet.com, rated 8/11 Music, 8/11 Sound & 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; • Gatefold Jacket & 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 1: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Instead, on her superb sophomore effort, the charismatic artist opts for a more mature and creatively ambitious program, inviting big-name guests and pursuing deeper instrumental textures on a set that goes far beyond the well-known title track. True Colors is a vocal tour de force, an expressive statement on which Lauper showcases singing steeped in emotion, phrasing, and earnestness. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Bringing Lauper's rich timbre to the fore, and mastered on Mobile Fidelity’s world-renowned mastering system, this RTI-pressed LP presents the 1986 album in the finest fidelity it’s ever enjoyed. Period touches such as synthesized drumbeats and layered keyboards no longer sound blatantly artificial or canned. Instruments now possess a warmer, fuller roundness that fleshes out their role in the compositions. And Lauper’s vocals—at times balladic, soaring, plaintive, stylish, and celebratory—occupy a defined place in the mix, anchoring songs etched with tonal expressiveness and diverse arrangements. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; An all-star cast aids Lauper in shaping what remains a colossally underrated record. & lt;b & gt;Billy Joel & lt;/b & gt;(vocals), & lt;b & gt;Adrian Belew & lt;/b & gt; (guitar), the & lt;b & gt;Bangles & lt;/b & gt; (vocals), & lt;b & gt;Aimee Mann & lt;/b & gt; (vocals), & lt;b & gt;Nile Rodgers & lt;/b & gt; (guitar), and & lt;b & gt;Rick Derringer & lt;/b & gt; (guitar) are among the guests. So is & lt;b & gt;Pee Wee Herman & lt;/b & gt;, whose telephone operator role at the conclusion of “911” speaks to the fact that Lauper didn’t abandon her whimsical nature even as she pressed forward. Cajun accents, soulful motifs (“What’s Going On”), and joyous covers of traditional fare (“Iko Iko”) keep the album pleasantly varied and accessibly offbeat. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Of course, Lauper also turns in, with “True Colors,” what’s arguably her career-defining moment, the chart-topping single radiating with gorgeous elegance and graceful phrasing that forced audiences to regard the performer in a different light. For her boldness, Lauper was rewarded with & lt;b & gt;two Grammy nominations and a song that has since been covered by artists such as Phil Collins and appeared as the theme for the 1988 Olympic Games and 2003 Rugby World Cup. & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • Gatefold Jacket & 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.

The powerhouse vocalist had kicked her addictions, teamed with a stupendous band, and partnered with a producer that knew how to best showcase her voice on record. She came to the sessions with an armload of astonishing songs, and a burst of creative energy that mirrored her rejuvenated emotional state and undeniable spirit. You can hear it on every note of the 1971 record. Ranked #125 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list, Pearl sold more than four million copies and stands as the first female rock superstar's definitive studio work. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered from the original master tapes, the iconic audiophile label's 2LP 45RPM edition takes Joplin and Co.'s stupendous performances to newly transcendent levels. Boasting a fidelity that further magnifies the singer's passion and producer Paul A. Rothchild's clear production, this sterling reissue reveals increased spaciousness, dynamics, and openness. Joplin's husky, strong, and penetrating singing has never sounded so vibrant or made deeper connections. Warm, organic, and free of any artificial ceilings, this version lets you step into Sunset Sound Recorders with the performers, such is the degree of realism and authenticity. Indeed, few, if any words, describe Joplin better than & quot;authentic, & quot; and her spirit comes to life on this 2LP set in positively transcendent fashion. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; While Joplin's electrifying vocal prowess is universally lauded — she's recognized as the greatest white female blues singer the world has ever seen — her mix of compassion, confidence, and charm play as large a role in attracting listeners and keeping them ensnared more than four decades after her tragic death. And on Pearl, she burrows into deeper stylistic veins, teasing out sides of her persona and craft she'd never previously displayed. Her signature desperation, sadness, and vulnerability remain — the harrowing, lonely wail that begins her soul-ravishing take on Jerry Ragovoy's & quot;Cry Baby, & quot; underlined with a Wall of Sound-like piano accompaniment, could only come from a person severely scarred by loss and disappointment — yet Joplin also reveals a sense of humor and beatnik innocence that helped propel the album to the top of the charts for nine straight weeks. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Playfully introduced as & quot;a song of great social and political import, & quot; the acapella & quot;Mercedes Benz & quot; reflects Joplin's throaty timbre as well as her enhanced, sunnier mood. Similarly, her definitive read of Kris Kristofferson's & quot;Me and Bobby McGee & quot; signals a laidback demeanor and a move into country strains, with the delivery as natural, carefree, and loving as any in the rock canon. As she does throughout the record, Joplin invests her all in the narrative so that there's no line between the performer and the song. She makes everything on Pearl feel autobiographical, and by extension, gut-wrenchingly honest, and devastatingly intimate. Joplin achieved these feats often during her brief career, yet there are differences on Pearl, chiefly among them her balance of impeccable timing and raw emotion. Heart-aching anthems such as & quot;A Woman Left Lonely & quot; offer both grit and control, subtlety and attack, resulting in cathartic releases distinguished with originality, personality, and instinctual passion. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • 45rpm Speed Edition & lt;br & gt; • Production & amp; Mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab & lt;br & gt; • Mastered From 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; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;LP 1 & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Made during the legendary bandleader’s most fruitful and creative period, the classic 1969 set functions as an accessible entry point into the tangy worlds of Latin music by way of an intoxicating blend of Afro-Cuban percussion, jazzy tempos, exotic leads, bluesy riffs, and psychedelic accents. Befitting such a classic, Mobile Fidelity’s 45RPM 2LP version of this epic work presents the music in the richest, most dynamic and realistic sound it’s ever enjoyed. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Improving upon the label's critically acclaimed 180g LP pressing, this deluxe 45RPM set is mastered from the original master tapes and overflows with the information, textures, and colors afforded by wider grooves. The result: Spacious, airy, and you-are-there sonics that trump all prior versions. In addition to correcting the imaging, Mobile Fidelity’s collectable version captures the full tonal range of Santana's guitar and nuances of his distinctive touch. It all brings you closer to the music and enhances your emotional connection to this stellar album. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Indeed, separation between Carlos Santana’s fluid fills, spicy solos, and broiling grooves and pianist Gregg Rolie’s soulful Hammond organ runs allows the music to come alive with a newfound freshness and radiance. Songs simmer, with each passage bursting forth with vibrant color. Just like the equally essential follow-up Abraxas, Santana also lays claim to one of the biggest (and unfortunate) production gaffes in music history. Until Mobile Fidelity fixed the error with its 180g LP and 24K Gold releases, Santana had never been heard correctly. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; For nearly four decades, copies were produced with the left and right channels reversed, meaning that everything was placed in a backwards manner. This even extended to compilations on which individual songs from Santana were included. Rest assured that, in addition to boasting reference audiophile sonics, this 180g 45RPM 2LP set gets all the specifications exactly right. And with a record of this magnitude, you want everything to be perfect. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Bound by natural chemistry and earthy spirituality, the record’s innovative synthesis of myriad styles goes beyond anything that came before—as well as nearly everything that’s followed. Playing with the finest band that the iconic guitarist ever had, Santana doesn’t water down any exotic roots or simply incorporate mainstream Western styles into a Latin framework. This is a true hybrid, responsible for opening up borders, transcending cultural divides, and, most importantly, exhilarating the senses. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Released weeks before the band blew minds at Woodstock, the groundbreaking record stands alongside Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew and Jeff Beck’s Beck-Ola as a pillar of rock fusion. Featuring the Top Ten radio smash “Evil Ways” and jam favorite “Soul Sacrifice,” it hasn’t aged a day. Hear like never before why Rolling Stone says Santana is #149 on its list of the Greatest Albums of All Time. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • 45rpm Speed 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; • Double LP & 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; LP 1 - Side 1: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

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.

Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Songs of All Time - & quot;White Rabbit & quot; - Rated 483/500, & quot;Somebody To Love & quot; - Rated 279/500! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;For parents tuning into Top 40 radio in the 60s, hits like & quot;White Rabbit & quot; and & quot;Somebody to Love & quot; probably confirmed their worst fears. The band was the Jefferson Airplane from San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district-the counterculture's ground zero. The 1967 blockbuster release harboring these hits was Surrealistic Pillow, whose 11 tracks were in reality less trippy psychedelia and more a fusion of rock and folk, with harmonies echoing the Byrds, the Yardbirds, or The Mamas and the Papas. It was the Airplane's second release and crucially the first with added power-vocalist Grace Slick and drummer Spencer Dryden, who joined singer Marty Balin, singer/guitarist Paul Kantner, guitarist Jorma Kaukonen, and bassist Jack Casady. MoFi's 45rpm double LP is a beautifully packaged gatefold. Sides are short but surfaces are quiet, the sound vintage analog. But what makes this remastering significant is the use of the monaural mix. Much less reverb was applied compared to the stereo originals, giving each track a stunning clarity and detail and intimacy-and a far heavier, more cohesive energy that places the spotlight on the musicianship and enlivens classic tracks like & quot;Today & quot; and & quot;Plastic Fantastic Lover. & quot; If you've only known the stereo version, you're in for a real treat. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Neil Gader, & lt;i & gt;The Absolute Sound & lt;/i & gt;, October 2016, 5/5 Music, 5/5 Sonics & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; They were the best of times for Jefferson Airplane, and the good vibes are heard throughout the band's iconic Surrealistic Pillow. The group's first album with vocalist Grace Slick and drummer Spencer Dryden, the 1967 effort bowed as the first psychedelic-rock breakout from the potent San Francisco scene, climbing to #3 and boasting two Top 10 singles. By bringing the then-unpolluted counterculture to the attention of the mainstream, the effort ranked by Rolling Stone #146 on its 500 Greatest Albums of All Time eradicated boundaries and opened up creative vistas for a parade of likeminded artists that followed. Mobile Fidelity's analog reissue honors this legacy with an edition that presents the groundbreaking music with incredible realism. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed at RTI, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 45RPM mono 2LP set grants Surrealistic Pillow audiophile-grade sound remarkable for its sense of balance, clarity, and tonality. While fans have always preferred the original mono version of the LP, it went out of print soon after its release, causing prices to soar. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Offering wider, deeper grooves for better information retrieval and superior pacing, this deluxe set gives listeners the chance to enjoy Jefferson Airplane's blockbuster set in faithful-to-the-original mono without having to pay a premium. Along with immersive detail and dynamics, the level of instrumental and vocal separation allows the sensory-altering songs' complexities to emerge with full-bloom color and renewed perspective. Mobile Fidelity puts the surrealism back into Surrealistic Pillow. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Surrealistic Pillow folds acid-rock experimentalism into folk-derived constructs with a blend of mysteriousness, assuredness, darkness, beauty, and romanticism that mirrored the very traits Slick possessed. Her authoritative, clarion-call voice leaps out from the explosive, fractal-pulsating smash & quot;Somebody to Love & quot; like a truthful challenge that cannot be ignored. Similarly, Slick's measured deliveries and Alice In Wonderland-inspired lyrics give the bolero-based & quot;White Rabbit & quot; its hallucinogenic power while simultaneously bringing drug references into mainstream culture. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;/b & gt;• Numbered Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; • 45RPM Double LP & lt;br & gt; • Pressed at RTI & lt;br & gt; • Mastered from original tapes & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;LP 1 & lt;br & gt; Side 1: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Pressed at RTI, Mobile Fidelity's Reference-Caliber 45rpm Vinyl 2LP Set Presents the Music In Intimate, Transformational, Lifelike Sound. First Album Recorded by Davis' Classic Second Quintet: E.S.P. Teems With Brilliant Intensity, Energy, Emotion, Steadiness, Tension, and Interplay. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; A landmark recording and masterful symphony of performance, composition, and execution, Miles Davis' E.S.P. established the template jazz would follow for the following decade. The 1965 record splits the gap between accessible hard-bop and the cutting-edge approach Davis increasingly pursued into the 1970s. Adventurous, sophisticated, and yet altogether cohesive, E.S.P. stands out not only due to its elastic compositions but via its chemistry, interplay, and feeling attained by the instrumentalists. The first album Davis' classic second quintet made together, it's also very arguably the group's best. Never before has the effort been experienced in such transformational sound. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Pressed at RTI, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 45rpm 2LP set of E.S.P. treats each phrase and every note as sacred communication. This meticulously restored audiophile version renders the music's dynamics, pitch, colors, and textures with lifelike realism and proper scale. Reference-caliber separation, wall-to-wall soundstages, and distinct images magnify the intensity and beauty of Davis and Co.'s creations. Whether it's the distinctive snap of Tony Williams' drum sticks against the snare head, air moving through Davis' trumpet, acoustic thrum of Ron Carter's bass, or upper register of Herbie Hancock's piano, the sound is better than you'd even hear in the most intimate jazz clubs. Prepare to be swayed on every level. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; For many, E.S.P. looms among the decade's best albums if only because of the significance of Davis' lineup. While Hancock, Williams, and Carter are holdovers that began playing with one another on 1963's Seven Steps to Heaven, Wayne Shorter functions as the secret weapon and key addition responsible for this ensemble hitting a new peak. Indeed, the saxophonist helped pen two of the seven compositions here – notably, E.S.P. is entirely comprised originals and clocked in as one of the longest-running jazz LPs issued at the time – and, more importantly, grants Davis the confidence and leeway necessary for the eruption of enigma, steadiness, and tension. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; As he did with John Coltrane a year earlier, Davis hangs back and picks his moments to solo, with Shorter stepping up to supply the churn. Their bandmates respond in kind, itching to take off into new stratospheres all the while keeping their improvisations grounded and connected to the piece at hand. Guided by Davis' visions and inspired by current boundary-pushing works by the likes of Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, and Coltrane, the magnificent results spark with variation, harmony, emotion, energy, and brilliant movement. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Interlocking lines drive & quot;Little One, & quot; alternating rhythms pulse through the funky & quot;Eighty-One, & quot; melodies soar on the balladic & quot;Iris, & quot; the aptly titled & quot;Mood & quot; broods over minor-key structures, and & quot;Agitation & quot; – goosed by a two-minute percussive introduction by Williams – delivers on its promise. No record – and no group of musicians – have ever balanced coherent themes and exploratory playing in better fashion than Davis' quintet on E.S.P. It's the avant-garde record even jazz traditionalists love, and essential on every level. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • 45rpm Speed Edition & lt;br & gt; • Double LP & lt;br & gt; • Production & amp; Mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab & lt;br & gt; • Specially Plated & amp; Pressed on 180g High Definition Vinyl & lt;br & gt; • Pressed at RTI & lt;br & gt; • Gatefold Jacket & lt;br & gt; • Special Static Free - Dust Free Inner Sleeve & lt;br & gt; • Heavy Duty Protective Packaging & lt;br & gt; • Abstract & amp; Impressionistic Poem by Ralph J.

Originally released at the height of the duo's career in fall 1983, the 12-song set functions as a time machine back into an era when Daryl Hall and John Oates dominated the charts with songs that have long since become standards. While a majority of the anthology draws from the group's trio of mammoth RCA albums spanning 1980 through 1982, it also includes the pair's only three Top 10 smashes from the 1970s: & quot;Sara Smile, & quot; & quot;She's Gone, & quot; and the chart-topping & quot;Rich Girl. & quot; One-stop shopping for the absolute best of Hall and Oates doesn't come any easier. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed on 180g LP at RTI, Mobile Fidelity's analog reissue presents nine Top 10 Hall and Oates singles with awe-inspiring detail and palpable realism. Lifelike tones grace the array of guitars, pianos, basses, and voices placed against synthesized backdrops. Each member's singing claims enhanced intimacy and balance. The collective harmonies sound sharper, the dynamics richer, and the soundstages wider and deeper. While the tandem's peers often relied on robotic mechanisms and now-dated keyboard devices, Hall and Oates wisely merge the period's savvy styles with tried-and-true soulful instrumentation. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Indeed, with one listen to this definitive-sounding version of Rock ‘n Soul Part 1 and you'll understand why the duo's music not only ruled radio and record stores in the Reagan era but also continues to be referenced by influential artists today. You already likely know every song – or nearly every one of them – here by heart. Arriving upon a near-flawless fusion of dance grooves, soft rock rhythms, smooth vocals, romantic sentiments, catchy beats, and spotless hooks with #1 singles such as & quot;Kiss On My List & quot; and & quot;Private Eyes, & quot; the collaborators simultaneously crossed over into multiple markets and eradicated boundaries. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; All the trademarks – swinging verse structures, call-and-response choruses, stick-in-your-head bridges, sleek keyboard layers, doo-wop fills, and, in some places, reggae-nodding accents or cool saxophone lines to stir up the mood and atmosphere – that make the duo's music irresistible pulse throughout Rock ‘n Soul Part 1. Eight of the singles included here cracked the Top 5. They remain prototype intersections of blue-eyed soul, edge new wave, and dance, blueprints for pop mastery that catapulted Hall and Oates to becoming the most successful duo in rock history. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Hear the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees' standard-setting equilibrium between polish, melody, muscle, and craft on their signature hits like never before. & 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; • Gatefold jacket & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

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. Accept nothing less than the best version in existence. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; • 45rpm Speed 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; • Pressed at RTI & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; LP 1 - Side 1 & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Not for nothing is Vaughan frequently mentioned in the same breath as his closest musical cousin, & lt;b & gt;Jimi Hendrix & lt;/b & gt;, and & lt;b & gt;ranked the 12th Greatest Guitarist in history by Rolling Stone & lt;/b & gt;. This 1983 debut started it all. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Strictly limited to 7,000 numbered copies and pressed on MoFi SuperVinyl at RTI, Mobile Fidelity's ultra-hi-fi UltraDisc One-Step collector's edition 180g 45RPM 2LP box set & lt;/b & gt; brings Vaughan and Co. into your listening room and places them at your feet. You'll enjoy deep-black backgrounds, pointillist details, staggering dynamics, and arguably, the most lifelike tonalities and nuances ever committed to vinyl. Experienced via UD1S, Vaughan's scrunched-up face, closed-eyes appearance, quick-draw fingers, and cowboy hat into pristine focus. More importantly, the searing tones from his & lt;b & gt;Fender Stratocaster & lt;/b & gt; and every touch of his pick on the strings are captured with extreme delicacy. You won't miss a note. The soundstage is deep and wide, and the microdynamics pop. & lt;b & gt;This is the closest you will ever come to hearing Vaughan perform in Antone's, circa 1982. & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The lavish packaging and beautiful presentation of Mobile Fidelity's Texas Flood UD1S pressing befit its extremely select status. & lt;b & gt;Housed in a deluxe box, this UD1S version contains special foil-stamped jackets and faithful-to-the-original graphics that illuminate the splendor of the recording. & lt;/b & gt; No expense has been spared. Aurally and visually, this reissue exists a curatorial artifact meant to be preserved, poured over, touched, and examined. It is made for discerning listeners that prize sound quality and creativity, and who desire to fully immerse themselves in the art – and everything involved with the album, from the images to the textures. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Born of hot, sweaty bars and years of woodshedding in front of demanding crowds, Texas Flood is rooted in Austin's rich musical heritage – as well as Vaughan's tenure in Paul Ray & amp; the Cobras, recipient of the & quot;Best Band & quot; award in the city's first-ever music poll. After getting his feet underneath him, Vaughan formed Triple Threat, the ensemble that morphed into Double Trouble, with which he'd perform with for the remainder of his career. Having evolved from a quintet to a trio, extra demands were placed on Vaughan's role and playing – requirements he was more than comfortable to accommodate. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The evidence is scattered throughout Texas Flood, which & lt;b & gt;single-handedly resuscitated a long-dormant genre & lt;/b & gt;. Spending more than half a year on the Billboard charts, the record pays homage to influences ( & lt;b & gt;Hendrix, Albert King, Larry Davis & lt;/b & gt;) and ripples with a freshness that joins contemporary Texas blues and muscular rock at the hip. Vaughan's playing prizes emotion and pace, whether he's lighting it up on the jumpy & quot;Love Struck Baby & quot; or bursting with enthusiasm on the sparks-shooting & quot;Pride and Joy. & quot; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The trio proves equally mesmerizing on slow numbers, with covers of & lt;b & gt;Howlin' Wolf & lt;/b & gt;'s & quot;Tell Me & quot; and Davis' & quot;Texas Flood & quot; weeping with longing. And as if to insure his name is etched in history, Vaughan takes a jazzy stroll with the instrumental tribute & quot;Lenny, & quot; covering all the bases in less than 40 minutes. & lt;b & gt; On par with anything recorded by Eric Clapton, Paul Butterfield, John Mayall, Johnny Winter, and the like, Texas Flood remains legion. & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Experience it like nobody has ever before! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;More About Mobile Fidelity UltraDisc One-Step and Why It Is Superior & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Instead of utilizing the industry-standard three-step lacquer process, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's new UltraDisc One-Step (UD1S) uses only one step, bypassing two processes of generational loss. While three-step processing is designed for optimum yield and efficiency, UD1S is created for the ultimate in sound quality. Just as Mobile Fidelity pioneered the UHQR (Ultra High-Quality Record) with JVC in the 1980s, UD1S again represents another state-of-the-art advance in the record-manufacturing process. MFSL engineers begin with the original master tapes and meticulously cut a set of lacquers. These lacquers are used to create a very fragile, pristine UD1S stamper called a & quot;convert. & quot; Delicate & quot;converts & quot; are then formed into the actual record stampers, producing a final product that literally and figuratively brings you closer to the music. By skipping the additional steps of pulling another positive and an additional negative, as done in the three-step process used in standard pressings, UD1S produces a final LP with the lowest noise floor possible today. The removal of the additional two steps of generational loss in the plating process reveals tremendous amounts of extra musical detail and dynamics, which are otherwise lost due to the standard copying process. The exclusive nature of these very limited pressings guarantees that every UD1S pressing serves as an immaculate replica of the lacquer sourced directly from the original master tape. Every conceivable aspect of vinyl production is optimized to produce the most perfect record album available today. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;MoFi SuperVinyl: The World’s Quietest Surfaces and Cleanest Grooves & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; MoFi SuperVinyl is a new proprietary compound developed by NEOTECH and RTI to address two specific areas of improvement: noise floor reduction and enhanced groove definition. The vinyl composition features a new carbonless dye (hold the disc up to the light and see) and produces the world’s quietest surfaces. This high-definition formula also allows for the creation of cleaner grooves that are indistinguishable from the original lacquer. Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab feels MoFi SuperVinyl provides the closest approximation of what we hear in the mastering lab. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.analogplanet.com & quot; & gt; These double 45rpm single-step AAA boxed set pressings are as good as vinyl records get.

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.

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.

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.

Artistically, he was largely written off as being past his prime. Emotionally, he was suffering through a painful divorce from his then-wife Sara Lowndes. Creatively, he appeared at a stalemate, his previous decade's unprecedented run of transformational brilliance finished. Then came Blood on the Tracks. A start-to-finish cycle that documents a lover's pursuit of, entanglement with, and loss of a woman, the bracingly intimate 1975 effort remains one of the most encompassing break-up albums ever made and ranks as the most personal statement of the Bard's career. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Presenting the record's acoustic and band-supported songs with the utmost transparency, dynamics, presence, immediacy, spaciousness, and imaging, Mobile Fidelity's opulent UD1S (UltraDisc One-Step) box set makes Blood on the Tracks reach three-dimensional sonic and emotional heights never before attained. Strictly limited to 9,000 numbered copies and pressed at RTI on SuperVinyl, this ultra-hi-fi collector's edition shines a high-powered light on the fluid vocal phrasing, timbral shifts, functional rhythms, and inward-looking strumming crucial to the album's aura. You'll enjoy deep-black backgrounds, boundless soundstaging, pointillist details, staggering dynamics, and arguably, the most lifelike tonalities and nuances ever committed to vinyl. Every note, breath, and movement is reproduced with exquisite accuracy, wowing clarity, and impeccable balance. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The lavish packaging and beautiful presentation of Mobile Fidelity's Blood on the Tracks UD1S pressing befit its extremely select status. Housed in a deluxe box, the collectible version contains special foil-stamped jackets and faithful-to-the-original graphics that illuminate the splendor of the recording. Aurally and visually, it exists a curatorial artifact meant to be preserved, poured over, touched, and examined. It is made for discerning listeners that prize sound quality and creativity, and who desire to fully immerse themselves in the art – and everything involved with the album, from the images to the textures and liner notes. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Ranked 16 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and replete with existential thought, piercing directness, raw singing, and majestic arrangements, Blood on the Tracks remains a soul-exposing confessional. To hear it is to experience the agony, frustration, trauma, highs, lows, confusion, sadness, and, ultimately, requisite redemption associated with intimate relationships gone astray. Dylan maintains it's a work of fiction, but the evident close-vested autobiographical premise is what helps make it universal: It's the icon singing through tears, going out of his mind, battling hallowing emptiness, firing shots across the bow, and accepting culpability. Blood on the Tracks serves, in short, as a consummate expression of love's darker sides and the consequences of what happens when dreams unravel. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; For all the melancholic pain, unresolved questions, shattered memories, wasted times, unrequited dialogs, and weary regret within, Blood on the Tracks remains as daring as it is reflective. Rather than follow for a monotone caustic vibe, Dylan's songs burrow into the subconscious for the manners in which they are even-keeled, mellow, and occasionally, even peaceful. Dignity, honor, poignancy, and fairness – all traits uncommon in any situation in which partners dissolve histories, change hearts, and attribute blame – instill the record with equilibrium on par with the consistency of the flowing melodies. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Throughout, tunes come on and proceed as if they could continue forever, Dylan spinning poetic verses and conversations amidst finely tied knots of acoustic notes, chords, and fills, the deceivingly simple architecture conjuring the intertwined refractions of a bezeled jewel, various angles, colors, and textures conjoining into a gorgeously inseparable whole. Backed by Tony Brown's flexible albeit subtle bass, Buddy Cage's country-streaked pedal-steel guitar, and Paul Griffin's soul-baring organ – an instrument used to shadow, tuckpoint, and illuminate here as effectively as any time in rock history – Dylan pours out scarred emotion, open his veins, and bleeds. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;More About Mobile Fidelity UltraDisc One-Step and Why It Is Superior: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Instead of utilizing the industry-standard three-step lacquer process, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's new UltraDisc One-Step (UD1S) uses only one step, bypassing two processes of generational loss. While three-step processing is designed for optimum yield and efficiency, UD1S is created for the ultimate in sound quality. Just as Mobile Fidelity pioneered the UHQR (Ultra High-Quality Record) with JVC in the 1980s, UD1S again represents another state-of-the-art advance in the record-manufacturing process. MFSL engineers begin with the original master tapes and meticulously cut a set of lacquers. These lacquers are used to create a very fragile, pristine UD1S stamper called a & quot;convert. & quot; Delicate & quot;converts & quot; are then formed into the actual record stampers, producing a final product that literally and figuratively brings you closer to the music. By skipping the additional steps of pulling another positive and an additional negative, as done in the three-step process used in standard pressings, UD1S produces a final LP with the lowest noise floor possible today. The removal of the additional two steps of generational loss in the plating process reveals tremendous amounts of extra musical detail and dynamics, which are otherwise lost due to the standard copying process. The exclusive nature of these very limited pressings guarantees that every UD1S pressing serves as an immaculate replica of the lacquer sourced directly from the original master tape. Every conceivable aspect of vinyl production is optimized to produce the most perfect record album available today. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;MoFi SuperVinyl: The World's Quietest Surfaces and Cleanest Grooves: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Developed by NEOTECH and RTI, MoFi SuperVinyl is the most exacting-to-specification vinyl compound ever created. Analog lovers have never seen (or heard) anything like it. Extraordinarily expensive and extremely painstaking to produce, the special proprietary compound addresses two specific areas of improvement: noise floor reduction and enhanced groove definition. The vinyl composition features a new carbonless dye (hold the disc up to the light and see) and produces the world’s quietest surfaces. This high-definition formula also allows for the creation of cleaner grooves that are indistinguishable from the original lacquer. MoFi SuperVinyl provides the closest approximation of what the label’s engineers hear in the mastering lab. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;...MoFi brings these tender rocky, lyrical tunes to life with a 45rpm 180-gram 2-LP box set using its One-step Process, which skips the conventional & quot;father & quot; and & quot;mother & quot; sequence and brings the disc significantly closer to the cutting lacquer and original master tape. & quot;Shelter from the Storm & quot; is a prime example of how One-Step recovers detail and layers, emboldens presence range, and further extends the upper and lower octaves. From the guitar / acoustic bass intro to the forward and full-bodied Dylan vocal, the absence of veiling is clear. Importantly, the detail and resolution that emerges is from lack of distortion, not dialed-in EQ. A revelation when compared with the midrange-centered, reedy, and edgier character of the original Columbia vinyl, the One-Step BOTT is a flat-out must have. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Neil Gader, & lt;i & gt;The Absolute Sound & lt;/i & gt;, October 2019 & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.analogplanet.com & quot; & gt; These double 45rpm single-step AAA boxed set pressings are as good as vinyl records get.
