Elvis Presley – Blue Hawaii – MoFi 180g 45RPM 2LP Vinyl
MASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES AND PRESSED AT RTI
1/4″ / 15 IPS analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe
The old adage about Elvis Presley is that his soundtrack work never held a candle next to his studio albums. Though true for a majority of his film-related outings, the traditional notion is forever disproved by his Blue Hawaii set. Originally released in 1961 in support of the film in which he starred, the triple-platinum LP spent nearly five months at the top of the Billboard album charts; outsold his two prior studio efforts; and ultimately, remains the second-best-selling soundtrack of the musical-dominant 1960s. And now, it has received sonic treatment befitting rock royalty.
Warren Zevon – Excitable Boy – 180g 45RPM 2LP Mofi Vinyl
Sourced From The Original Analog Tapes For Definitive Sound 1/4″ / 15 IPS Dolby A analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe
Excitable Boy established Warren Zevon as rock’s gonzo figurehead – or, as Jackson Browne aptly called him, “the first and foremost proponent of song noir.” A supreme collision of over-caffeinated energy, acerbic wit, dark humor, irreverent reporting, bittersweet romance, swept-under-the-rug truth, and illicit desire sent up with booze, pills, and therapist confessions, the breakthrough album zeroes in on frightening aspects of American culture with an incisiveness that’s even sharper today than upon the effort’s release in 1978. And the music has never sounded so excitable.
Bob Dylan – Nashville Skyline 180g 45RPM 2LP Mofi Vinyl
Hyper-Detailed 45RPM Version Allows You to Experience Dylan’s All-Time Cleanest Vocal Performances Like Never Before: Soft, Smooth Croon a Dramatic Change from His Past
For an artist whose career is flush with enigma, myth, and disguise, Nashville Skylinestill surprises more than almost any other Bob Dylan move more than four decades after its original release. Distinguished from every other Dylan album by virtue of the smooth vocal performances and simple ease, the 1969 record witnesses the icon’s full-on foray into country and trailblazing of the country-rock movement that followed. Cozy, charming, and warm, the rustic set remains for many hardcore fans the Bard’s most enjoyable effort. And most inimitable. The result of quitting smoking, Dylan’s voice is in pristine shape, nearly unidentifiable from the nasal wheeze and folk accents displayed on prior records.
Miles Davis – Sorcerer – MOFI 2 x 180g 45RPM Vinyl
MOOD, INFLECTION, AND NUANCE TAKE CENTER STAGE ON COMPOSITIONS STEEPED IN SOPHISTICATED EXPRESSIONISM
1/4″ / 15 IPS analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe
Filled with aural magic and enchanting musical spells, Sorcerer is true to its name. The third of five albums devised by Miles Davis’ legendary second quintet – and the second record in a still-unprecedented string of eight consecutive releases within a four-year period that forever changed the face of jazz – the 1967 magnum opus mesmerizes with instrumental colors, subdued musings, and subtle details.
Miles Davis – Nefertiti – Mofi 2 x 180g 45RPM Vinyl
STEEPED IN INQUISITIVE INTERPLAY AND SUBCONSCIOUS IMPRESSIONISM
Nefertit will always be known as the final all-acoustic record made by Miles Davis' classic second quintet. 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.
Love – Forever Changes – MOFI 2 x 180g Vinyl
Jefferson Airplane – Volunteers 180g 45RPM 2 LP MOFI Vinyl
Seminal 1969 Album Steeped in Revolution, Vitality, Protest: The Aural Equivalent of a Demonstration March
Awash in controversy and loaded with revolutionary protest, Jefferson Airplane's Volunteers stands as the last album made by the group's classic lineup and brings insurgent closure to the peace-and-love era. 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.
Run DMC – Raising Hell – Mobile Fidelity 180g SuperVinyl
Bob Dylan and The Band – Before the Flood – 180g 2LP Mofi Vinyl
Live 1974 Set Documents Acclaimed Reunion of Bob Dylan and The Band
The live reunion of Bob Dylan and The Band during 1973-74 yielded one of the decade’s most celebrated, dynamic, and astonishing tours. Captured on Before the Flood, the results portray the two artists’ shared chemistry as well as Dylan’s instinctive ability to challenge audiences, his group, and himself via inventive rearrangements of classics that simultaneously ward off nostalgia and renew with meaning. Said by noted critic Robert Christgau to be “at its best, [the] craziest and strongest rock and roll ever recorded,” Before the Flood crackles with intensity, relevance, and unhinged performances.
