Commercially and creatively, the painstaking efforts paid off. Recorded over the span of 18 months, the triple-platinum album spawned four hit singles and put Fleetwood Mac back at the center of mainstream conversation. Its demands also ultimately forced its primary architect, guitarist-singer Lindsey Buckingham, to leave the group shortly after its completion. Was it all worth it?

Joni Mitchell – Court and Spark – Mofi SACD

JONI MITCHELL COUNTERBALANCES LOVE AND TRUST WITH FREEDOM AND CONFUSION ON COURT AND SPARK: RANKED THE 110TH GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME BY ROLLING STONE Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD Plays with Revealing Detail, Clarity, Presence, and Openness Court and Spark, the most commercially successful album of Joni Mitchell's trailblazing career, arrived after a year in which she took some time to breathe and kept a low profile. The pause led to more breakthroughs for the singer-songwriter. Marking Mitchell's increasing drift toward jazz (and affinity for Miles Davis and John Coltrane), Court and Spark garnered four Grammy nominations, earned the Best Album of the Year vote in the prestigious Pazz & Jop poll, and ranks #110 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

That prolific decade witnessed his namesake band release nine studio albums, one hybrid live-studio double album, and a triple live set. The group’s penchant for exploration and mutation — and adopting those constructs into appealing songs that surprise, delight, and inspire — flares throughout Inner Secrets, a gold-certified effort that finds the collective reaching heights it would not again realize for another 10 years.
Santana – Blues for Salvador – 180g 33RPM Mofi Vinyl LP
Available to Pre-Order Now
BLUES FOR SALVADOR EARNED CARLOS SANTANA HIS FIRST GRAMMY AWARD: 1987 “SOLO” ALBUM PURSUES JAZZ, FUSION, AND ROCK DIRECTIONS Sourced from the Original Master Tapes and Strictly Limited to 3,000 Numbered Copies: Mobile Fidelity’s 180g 33RPM Vinyl LP Presents the Largely Instrumental Record in Audiophile Quality for First Time Domestically 1/2” / 30 IPS / Dolby SR analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe Few artists were more prolific than Carlos Santana during the 1970s and 80s. By the time he released Blues for Salvador, the fourth album billed to the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer as a lone solo artist, he kept a pace that saw him release LPs at a more than one record-per-year clip ever since the launch of his group’s 1969 debut. No wonder this 1987 effort would be Santana’s last work until 1990; he deserved the rest. And with the largely instrumental Blues for Salvador, he entered into the break on a high note — one that earned him his first Grammy Award.

Mastering Source to Be Determined Closer to Production Date; Specifics Will Be Posted Here When Authenticated Court and Spark, the most commercially successful album of Joni Mitchell’s trailblazing career, arrived after a year in which she took some time to breathe and kept a low profile. The much-deserved break led to yet more breakthroughs. Demonstrably marking Mitchell’s increasing drift toward jazz (and proclivity for absorbing the works of Miles Davis and John Coltrane), and teeming with heightened confidence, beautiful melodies, and shape-shifting arrangements, the lush 1974 record earned four Grammy nominations and was voted the Best Album of the Year in the prestigious Pazz & Jop poll.
T-Bone Walker – T-Bone Blues – Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) 180g 45rpm 2 LP Vinyl
Analogue Poductions (Atlantic 75 Series) (Mono) Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records! An indispensable release for T-Bone Walker fans! 180-gram 45 RPM double LP Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at Cohearent Audio from the original master tape Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing
T-Bone Walker's T-Bone Blues, was recorded during three widely separated sessions in 1955, 1956 and 1957 and released by Atlantic Records in 1959. AllMusic calls the album "the last truly indispensable disc of the great guitar hero's career" and says the tracks on the album (5 Stars) "boast magnificent prescence, with T-Bone Walker's axe so crisp and clear it seems as though he's sitting right next to you as he delivers a luxurious remake of 'Call It Stormy Monday.'"
Charlie Mingus – Oh Yeah – Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) 180g 45rpm 2 LP Vinyl
Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records! A powerful, passionate and expressive album! 180-gram 45 RPM double LP Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the original analog master tape Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing
After several sessions with Columbia and Candid, Charles Mingus briefly returned to Atlantic and cut the freewheeling Oh Yeah, which AllMusic says has to rank as the wildest of all his classic albums. Mingus displays all of his vigorous jazz feeling on this album; he plays no bass whatsoever, hiring Doug Watkins to fill in while he accompanies the group on piano and contributes bluesy vocals to several tracks (while shouting encouragement on nearly all of them).

Howard McGhee – Maggie’s Back In Town! – Contemporary Records (Acoustic Sounds Series) 180g Vinyl
Just in time for summer comes this reissue featuring the criminally unsung Howard McGhee, the dexterous bebop trumpeter who's frequently compared to greats such as Dizzy Gillespie and Fats Navarro. Maggie's Back in Town!! (Maggie was McGhee's nickname), captures the musician's triumphant return to music in 1961. AllMusic rates the album as, "McGhee's finest recording of the period." He overachieves in rhythmic fluidity, a through line that's particularly potent in seemingly carefree songs such as "Sunset Eyes" and the title track.
This new edition, released as part of the Contemporary Records Acoustic Sounds Series, features (AAA) lacquers cut from the original master tapes by Bernie Grundman and is pressed on 180-gram vinyl at QRP, and presented in a Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket.

Run DMC – Run DMC – Mofi 180g 33RPM SuperVinyl LP
The Album That Invented Hardcore Hip-Hop: Run-D.M.C. Changed The Sound Of Music And Popular Culture
Run-D.M.C.'S 1984 Debut Benefits From Restorative Treatment On Mobile Fidelity's 180G Supervinyl 33Rpm Lp: Limited To 3,000 Numbered Copies, Includes New Liner Notes
1/2" / 15 IPS analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe
The impact, influence, and importance of Run-D.M.C.'s self-titled debut – the album that invented hardcore hip-hop and bridged rap, rock, and funk in then-unparalleled ways – cannot be measured. The first full-length record released by Profile Records, the 1984 set permanently changed the sound of music, broadcast streetwise wisdom to every corner of the country, and made the notion of a one-man band a distinct reality. Bolstered by an incendiary blend of staccato deliveries, stark beats, aggressive exchanges, evocative hooks, and socially conscious messages, Run-D.M.C. still hits listeners in the jaw with the same intensity it did nearly 40 years ago when it could be heard booming from ghetto blasters carried around city blocks nationwide.
Diana Krall – When I Look Into Your Eyes (Acoustic Sounds) 180g 2LP Gatefold Sleeve
Krall’s fifth studio album made a mark as the first jazz album in 25 years to garner a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year.
Tommy LiPuma elevates Krall’s sound along the lines of Nat King Cole with an orchestral stamp on eight out of 12 tracks.
It doesn’t take strings, though, to showcase Diana Krall as a hopeless romantic. She does that well enough on her own.
Verve’s Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
