Run DMC – King of Rock – Mofi SACD
IN AUDIOPHILE QUALITY FOR THE FIRST TIME: SOURCED FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES
1/2″ / 15 IPS analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe
Run-D.M.C. leaves no doubt about its intent on King of Rock. The New York trio’s hard-hitting sophomore album begins with a statement of purpose (“Rock the House”) that serves as a stereophonic primer for the title track, a hybrid warning-anthem-theme song that swarms with justified boasts, heavy metal riffs, booming beats, cowbell accents, and dance-worthy grooves. The back-to-back tunes set the tone for a 1985 record that largely established the blueprint for the hip-hop that would follow for the next two decades — and which helped make rap a mainstream currency via the previously off-limits channels of radio, TV, and the national stage.

Stevie Nicks Bella Donna – Mofi Hybrid SACD
Coming Soon - Pre-Order Now
Stevie Nicks Breaks Out as a Solo Force on Bella Donna: 1981 Album Features Extraordinary Vocal Performances and Four Hits, Including “Edge of Seventeen” and “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around”
Experience the Record’s Spontaneous Feel, Raw Emotions, and Organic Arrangements in Transparent Sound on Mobile Fidelity’s Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD
Stevie Nicks had much to prove when she stepped out on her own for the first time and crafted Bella Donna. Despite attaining superstar success with Fleetwood Mac, the singer often took a back seat to the band’s other members — and, due to the group’s approach, faced limitations in getting her songs on an album. Along with Nicks’ status as a significant artistic force in her own right, that all changed with the timeless Bella Donna.
The Velvet Underground – Loaded – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series Hybrid SACD
NOW BACK IN STOCK
Loaded is the sort of proper album that feels like a greatest hits collection, with each track thoroughly inhabiting and mastering a dominant rock archetype. Although the songs “Sweet Jane” and “Rock & Roll” distinguished the band as a “seminal proto-punk” act, “The trifecta of ‘Who Loves the Sun,’ ‘Sweet Jane’ and ‘Rock & Roll’ is among the best three-song openings on any rock and roll record,” wrote Paste contributor Jeff Gonick

Stone Temple Pilots – Tiny Music… Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop – Mofi Hybrid SACD
Available to Pre-Order
Stone Temple Pilots Go Glam and Get Psychedelic on Tiny Music… Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop: Includes “Big Bang Baby” and “Trippin’ on a Hole in a Paper Heart"
Experience the Double-Platinum 1996 Album in Audiophile Sound for the First Time on Mobile Fidelity’s Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD
If great art, as many believe, is inherently polarizing, then the Stone Temple Pilots’ Tiny Music… Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop easily ranks as the California-based band’s finest album. Simultaneously celebrated and castigated upon release in spring 1996, the group’s third full-length finds vocalist Scott Weiland and company expanding their “grunge” palette with a smart blend of glam rock, psychedelia, jangle pop, and other related styles. Having benefited from long-view reassessments that shed the biases and meanness of initial criticisms, the double-platinum effort is now largely and rightly seen as a creative masterwork. All the more reason why it deserves reference-grade production.
Heart – Dreamboat Annie – Mofi Hybrid SACD
Available to Pre-Order
Breakthrough Debut Launched Heart’s Hall of Fame Career: Dreamboat Annie Blends Electric and Acoustic Elements, Includes the Classics “Magic Man” and “Crazy on You”
50th Anniversary Edition of 1975 Album Features Audiophile Sound: Mobile Fidelity’s Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD Plays with Revealing Clarity and Rich Details
Heart’s breakthrough debut, Dreamboat Annie, has often been framed in the context of a female-led band successfully matching the moves of its male counterparts during an era when women weren’t associated with rocking out — particularly on a mainstream level. While that take is true — Ann and Nancy Wilson practically stood alone amid a commercial age dominated by testosterone — it undersells the appeal, scope, and craftsmanship of an album that deserves to be revered strictly because of its merit, not because of the gender of the group’s principal members.
