Linda Ronstadt Secures Her Position as the Premier Female Vocalist of the 1970s: Prisoner in Disguise Includes Covers of “Love Is a Rose” and “I Will Always Love You” Reissued at 45RPM for the First Time for Its 50th Anniversary and Elektra 75: Mobile Fidelity’s 180g 45RPM 2LP Set of 1975 Record Plays with Superb Purity, Detail, Tonality, and Definition 1/4” / 15 IPS Dolby A analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe
If there was any doubt whether Linda Ronstadt would emerge as the premier female vocalist of the 1970s, the question became moot when she dropped Prisoner in Disguise in 1975. Picking up exactly where she left off on Heart Like a Wheel, the singer pairs with the same perfectionist-oriented producer and many of the same session pros on a follow-up in every way the equal of her 1974 breakthrough. The platinum-certified set not only established Ronstadt as an all-time great. It confirmed her as the voice of the decade, a performer the press soon deemed “The First Lady of Rock.”
