Mastered from the Original Analog Master Tapes for Premium Sound: Numbered-Edition Mobile Fidelity 180g 45RPM Vinyl 2LP Set Presents the Music with Full-Range Dynamics and Astute Clarity. 1972 Album Features Contributions from George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Peter Frampton, Lowell George, Nicky Hopkins, Bobby Keys, and More. 'I sang my balls off for you baby.' Harry Nilsson's bold proclamation on the opening cut of Son of Schmilsson immediately makes it evident the singer had no intention to repeat the approach of his commercial breakout, the preceding Nilsson Schmilsson-and harbored no desire to hold back on any front or advance any traditional notion of a career. The madcap album goes all out, delivering a wild ride infused with horror-movie effects, crass jokes, then-shocking profanity, snoring, and even a belch-strangeness that belies the fact it went gold and landed a Top 40 single in the form of 'Spaceman.' Hindsight further shows the gonzo work endures as a stroke of defiant genius, ego-grounding facetiousness, and raucous fun-all the way down to the iconic artwork depicting Nilsson as a vampire. Encompassing rock, torch, country, pop, blues, and old-world European-styled sing-a-longs, the music serves a singer-songwriter whose multifaceted aims, daring versatility, inimitable personality, and unique vision reach epic proportions on the 1972 set. Mastered from the original analog master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g 45RPM vinyl 2LP set of Son of Schmilsson play with full range dynamics and astute clarity. Working with producer Richard Perry and at London's Trident Studios for the second time-and collaborating with guests such as George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and Peter Frampton as well as choirs and orchestras-the singer captures a natural sound marked by lively tonalities, generous air, and stellar presence. All these aspects come to the fore with unprecedented degrees on these first-ever audiophile reissues of Nilsson's most controversial (and self-sabotaging) turn. The versatile array of instruments have room to breathe, while notes emerge with palpable immediacy and fade with realistic decay. And Nilsson's elastic voice projects with you-are-there resolution and transparency. Make no mistake: You'll hear exactly why this unique album continues to spark debate and remains a fan favorite.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music Direct","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42503644774621,"sku":"821797249911","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/products\/t4clgkqyekojfsbfxpbs.jpg?v=1731232090"},{"product_id":"van-halen-ii-mobile-fidelity","title":"Van Halen- II (Mobile Fidelity) (CD)","description":" \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"New CD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42823494271197,"sku":"821797224468","price":42.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/mbid-68172439-16a6-433c-8516-f3527ccd5b67-39180908052_thumb500.jpg?v=1769756613"},{"product_id":"van-halen-diver-down-mobile-fidelity","title":"Van Halen- Diver Down (Mobile Fidelity) (CD)","description":" \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"New CD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42823494861021,"sku":"821797224765","price":42.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/mbid-b8ab2d21-6181-473e-bd6c-471a8e16eeaf-43552912261_thumb500.jpg?v=1769756614"},{"product_id":"van-halen-fair-warning-mobile-fidelity","title":"Van Halen- Fair Warning (Mobile Fidelity) (CD)","description":" \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"New CD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42823494959325,"sku":"821797224666","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/NzUtNjExOC5qcGVn.jpg?v=1771191572"},{"product_id":"van-halen-van-halen-mobile-fidelity","title":"Van Halen- Van Halen (Mobile Fidelity) (CD)","description":" \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"New CD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42823495024861,"sku":"821797224369","price":42.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/mbid-07675eea-a2dd-4bd4-9161-1622c52b7c96-38921897190_thumb500.jpg?v=1769756616"},{"product_id":"the-eagles-one-of-these-nights-mofi","title":"The Eagles- One Of These Nights (MoFi) (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMastered from the Original Analog Master Tapes for Extraordinary Sound: Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD Takes The Eagles' One of These Nights to the Limit.

Band Seamlessly Blends Folk, Country, Rock, and Blues Elements: Quadruple-Platinum Effort Marks Co-Founder Bernie Leadon's Final Appearance on an Eagles Record. One of These Nights occupies an important, unique place in The Eagles' discography given it represents the final album the group made before releasing the bajillion-selling Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) compilation. The timing is telling. A coming-out party for Glenn Frey and Don Henley's songwriting skills, the studio record - the band's fourth, and it's first to hit #1 on the charts - signifies the group's ascent to superstar status. Home to three massive singles (the title track, 'Lyin' Eyes,' and 'Take It to the Limit') and nominated for four Grammy Awards, the quadruple-platinum 1975 effort solidified The Eagles' Southern California-reared sound and made the band a household name. Mastered from the original analog tapes and packaged in a mini-LP gatefold jacket, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition hybrid SACD takes One of These Nights to the limit. And then some. Playing with reference sonics and clarity, it provides a rich, dynamic, and three-dimensional view into a release that moved country-rock ahead by leaps and bounds. The opportunity to zero in on the particulars of The Eagles' golden harmonies, distinct vocal timbres, tasteful instrumental flourishes, and cohesive interplay has never been better.

Eagles Come Ready to Rock: Band Also Covers Tom Waits' 'Ol' 55' and Pays Tribute to Gram Parsons with the Ballad 'My Man'. With it's name indicative of the music's boundary-testing diversity and Southwestern inspiration, On the Border finds The Eagles embracing a harder edge that establishes the band as a group that knows how - and wants - to rock. Glenn Frey, Don Henley, new member Don Felder, and company immediately announce their intent on the defiant album-opening hit 'Already Gone' and never look back, crafting a record that from start to finish is arguably their most consistent and balanced effort. The double-platinum set ultimately established The Eagles as a commercial force whose musical range transcended the calmer country-leaning style they perfected on their first two LPs. Throughout On the Border, The Eagles are in no mood to mess around. Mastered from the original analog master tapes and packaged in a mini-LP gatefold jacket, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition hybrid SACD of On the Border provides a lively, dynamic, and transparent view of a record whose influence continues to grow. The opportunity to zero in on the particulars of producer Bill Szymczyk's raw production - let alone the band's golden harmonies, vocal timbres, and cohesive interplay - brings the brilliance of the performances into full relief. Listen, for example, without limits to how Szymczyk's approach stamps the throttle-twisting 'James Dean' with a leather-and-jeans cool befitting it's protagonist.

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. Mastered from the original master tapes and strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's hybrid SACD of Blue Hawaii transports listeners to both the carefree innocent escapism of the early '60s and calming, breezy atmospherics of the famous Pacific Islands. If you've ever wondered what it might be like to have Presley inhabit your room, this collectible reissue makes it happen via lifelike presence, clarity, immediacy, and transparency. Recorded before the King started to burn out on soundtracks and go into a creative tailspin, Blue Hawaii presents him in tremendous voice. The newly uncovered layers of detail, body, emotionalism, and tonality on this SACD bring that treasured element - as well as the brilliance of the arrangements and accompaniment - to light like never before. Presley's warm crooning alone warrants unmitigated attention. It's not for nothing that this record - replete with panache, whimsy, romance, and seriousness - forever altered the course of his career. Much like the film itself, the music on Blue Hawaii subscribes to a feel-good aesthetic. Presley plunges into a stylistic deep end with equal parts fearlessness and fun. He delves into early rock 'n' roll ('Rock-A-Hula Baby'); touching balladry ('Hawaiian Wedding Song'); playful rumba ('Beach Boy Blues'); relaxing luaus ('Hawaiian Sunset'); and naturally, island-inspired fare ('Ku-U-I-Po'). It becomes immediately evident that the King is enjoying himself and committed to the mission. Is Blue Hawaii all serious art? No, but it was never intended to be. Rather, it serves as a showcase of Presley's outgoing personality and chameleon-like ability - like that of Frank Sinatra - to inhabit different roles and entertain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New CD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43522387706077,"sku":"821797222662","price":41.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/products\/ddhz1dv3ted9j3lbxeeu.jpg?v=1731299734"},{"product_id":"the-eagles-hotel-california-mofi-sacd","title":"The Eagles- Hotel California (MoFi SACD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e* The Third Best-Selling Album in History Receives a Substantial Upgrade Befitting It's Timeless Status and Cultural Importance: Mobile Fidelity's Hybrid SACD of The Eagles Hotel California Is Sourced from the Original Analog Master Tapes\u003cbr\u003e* 26-Times-Platinum Concept Album Plays Like an Epic Cinematic Film: Songs Saliently Address Consequences and Chaos of American Mythology, Celebrity, Art, and Entitlement * Grammy-Winning 1976 Blockbuster Marks Debut of Guitarist-Vocalist Joe Walsh: Includes Iconic Title Track, 'New Kid in Town,' 'Life in the Fast Lane,' and 'Victim of Love' The moment the instantly recognizable intertwined guitar passage on the title track to The Eagles' Hotel California begins, the record's genius becomes obvious all over again. Ranked the 118th Greatest Album of All Time by Rolling Stone, certified by RIAA as the third best-selling LP in history, and looked upon as the foundation upon which the Golden State's mid-'70s rustic music scene was built, the 1976 landmark is a music staple immune to shifts in trends, eras, and styles. Fearlessly addressing the chaos and consequences of American life, it's songs remain strikingly prescient and gain credence with each day.

The 1973 album establishes many of the signature themes and sounds Bruce Springsteen would embrace throughout his unparalleled career. No wonder a majority of the songs - 'Blinded by the Light,' 'Lost in the Flood,' 'Spirit in the Night' included - remain staples of the New Jersey native's fabled concerts. Balancing the label's vision of him as a folk-based singer-songwriter and his own desire to play rock 'n' roll with a full band, Springsteen never made a record like this again.\n\nSourced from the original analog master tapes and pressed at RTI on MoFi SuperVinyl, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition UltraDisc One-Step 180g 33RPM LP set is the definitive-sounding version of Springsteen's daring debut. Afforded the benefits of SuperVinyl's nearly non-existent noise floor, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. plays with a clarity, directness, and emotionalism that practically whisks you into the New York office in which Springsteen played a few originals for legendary Columbia Records executive John Hammond and earned a record deal. The music emerges with an openness that gives flight to the Boss' storytelling. His words flow with unbridled, stream-of-conscious pacing and vibrant imagery. Equally important, Springsteen's still-underrated vocal performances can now be appreciated in full-range fidelity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44062378754269,"sku":"821797105521","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4173414-2934344.jpg?v=1731391431"},{"product_id":"821797202626","title":"The Eagles- On The Border (MoFi One Step) (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL ANALOG MASTER TAPES, PRESSED AT RTI ON MOFI SUPERVINYL, AND LIMITED TO 10,000 NUMBERED COPIES\u003c\/p\u003e\nWith it's name indicative of the music's boundary-testing diversity and Southwestern inspiration, On the Border finds The Eagles leaving everything on the table and embracing a harder edge that takes the band out of more relaxed territory and establishes it as a group that knows how - and wants - to rock. Glenn Frey, Don Henley, new member Don Felder, and company immediately announce their intent on the defiant album-opening hit 'Already Gone' and never look back, crafting a gem of a record that from start to finish is arguably their most consistent and balanced effort. Limited to 10,000 numbered copies, pressed on dead-quiet MoFi SuperVinyl at RTI, and mastered from the original analog master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's ultra-hi-fi UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP collector's edition pays tribute to the record's significance and enhances the experience for generations to come. Playing with reference sonics that elevate an effort revered by audiophiles, it provides a lively, dynamic, transparent, and intimate view of a release whose contemporary importance continues to grow. The opportunity to zero in on the particulars of The Eagles' golden harmonies, distinct vocal timbres, and cohesive interplay has never been better. Visually, the premium packaging and gorgeous presentation of the UD1S On the Border pressing befit it's select status. Housed in a deluxe box, it features special foil-stamped jackets and faithful-to-the-original graphics that illuminate the splendor of the recording. No expense has been spared. From every angle, this UD1S reissue exists as a curatorial artifact meant to be preserved, touched, and examined. It is made for discerning listeners that prize sound quality and production, and who desire to fully immerse themselves in the art - and everything involved with the album, from the iconic Navajo cover painting to the meticulous finishes. And with On the Border, there's plenty to take in and soak up. Declared by famed critic Robert Christgau as '[The Eagles'] best album,' the 1974 set claims a rich backstory. Initially recorded amid tumultuous sessions with producer Glyn Johns in London shortly after the release of the group's sophomore Desperado set, On the Border took a new turn after the band elected to scrap most of the prior work, return to it's native California, and team with producer Bill Szymczyk to give the material less of a smooth, polished sheen and more toughness. Szymczyk also afforded The Eagles more input and freedom in the arrangements, and suggested adding another guitarist to play on 'Good Day in Hell.' Felder got the call, and so won over The Eagles with his skills, he quickly became the fifth member of the band. \u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44106745348317,"sku":"821797202626","price":124.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4059021-2789349.jpg?v=1731399338"},{"product_id":"821797202725","title":"The Eagles- One Of These Nights (MoFi One Step) (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMOBILE FIDELITY ULTRADISC ONE-STEPBOX SET TAKES The Eagles' COMMERCIAL BREAKTHROUGH TO THE LIMIT..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\nOne of These Nights stands as the final album The Eagles made before releasing the bajillion-selling Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975). The timing is telling. A coming-out party for Glenn Frey and Don Henley's songwriting skills, the studio record - the band's fourth and first to hit #1 on the charts - signifies the group's ascent to superstar status. Home to three massive singles (the title track, 'Lyin' Eyes,' and 'Take It to the Limit') and nominated for four Grammy Awards, the quadruple-platinum 1975 set solidified The Eagles' Southern California-reared sound and made the band a household name.

Crosby, Stills \u0026amp; Nash lingers as an example of the whole being greater than the sum of it's parts. Factor in phenomenal studio production and acoustic-based architecture that served as guideposts for myriad albums that followed, and popular music would never be the same. Limited and numbered, pressed on MoFi SuperVinyl at RTI, and mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP collector's edition enhances the incalculably influential work for the ages to come. Surpassing the sonics of any prior version, it peels away any limitations to provide a transparent, ultra-nuanced presentation of a record that birthed the Laurel Canyon movement and established a precedent for close harmony singing that has never been eclipsed. The organic presentation of the textures; expanse and depth of the soundstages; fullness of tones; natural extension of the acoustic guitar strings; realistic rise and decay of individual notes; seamless blending of the vocals - all those important sonic facets (and more) reach demonstration-grade levels. The packaging features the same attention to detail.

It is made for discerning listeners that prize sound quality and production, and who desire to fully immerse themselves in the art - and everything involved with the album, from the images to the finishes. The backstory of how Crosby, Stills \u0026amp; Nash came to be nearly matches the import of it's content. Already a renowned multi-instrumental virtuoso, Stephen Stills sought a fresh beginning after Buffalo Springfield splintered. Similarly, vocal powerhouse David Crosby arrived after leaving the Byrds and gaining a reputation for being difficult. Graham Nash drifted over after a frustrating stint in the Hollies. He met his new mates at a party. When the three sang together informally for the first time, their fate was sealed. To further tie their fortunes together, the singers used each of their surnames to identify the group to ensure the collective could not exist or continue on without all three members. \u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44106745938141,"sku":"821797202121","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4059018-2789346.jpg?v=1731399363"},{"product_id":"bob-dylan-blonde-on-blonde-mofi-numbered-180g-45rpm-3lp-box-set","title":"Bob Dylan- Blonde On Blonde (MoFi Numbered 180g 45RPM 3LP Box Set) (Vinyl)","description":"Blonde on Blonde is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on May 16, 1966, on Columbia Records. Recording sessions began in New York in October 1965 with numerous backing musicians, including members of Dylan's live backing band, the Hawks. Though sessions continued until January 1966, they yielded only one track that made it onto the final album - \"One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later)\". At producer Bob Johnston's suggestion, Dylan, keyboardist Al Kooper, and guitarist Robbie Robertson moved to the CBS studios in Nashville, Tennessee. These sessions, augmented by some of Nashville's top session musicians, were more fruitful, and in February and March all the remaining songs for the album were recorded. Blonde on Blonde completed the trilogy of rock albums that Dylan recorded in 1965 and 1966, starting with Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited. Critics often rank Blonde on Blonde as one of the greatest albums of all time. Combining the expertise of Nashville session musicians with a modernist literary sensibility, the album's songs have been described as operating on a grand scale musically, while featuring lyrics one critic called \"a unique blend of the visionary and the colloquial\". It was one of the first double albums in rock music. The album peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 chart in the U.S., where it eventually went double-platinum, and reached No. 3 in the UK. Blonde on Blonde spawned two singles that were top twenty hits in the U.S. \"Rainy Day Women #12 \u0026amp; 35\" and \"I Want You\". Two additional songs, \"Just Like a Woman\" and \"Visions of Johanna\", have been named as among Dylan's greatest compositions and were featured in Rolling Stone‍ '​s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list. \u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44231423459549,"sku":"821797450096","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/2323646.jpg?v=1727320052"},{"product_id":"bob-dylan-bob-dylan-mofi-numbered-180g-mono-45rpm-2lp","title":"Bob Dylan- Bob Dylan (MoFi Numbered 180g Mono 45RPM 2LP) (Vinyl)","description":"Limited Mobile Fidelity double 180gm vinyl LP edition of the mono version of this classic album pressed at 45RPM. Made when mono was still king, Bob Dylan's self-titled 1962 debut is as understated of an entrance as any significant musician as ever made. Already well-versed in American roots music, Dylan simultaneously pays homage to tradition and extends it by putting his own stamp on classic material that metaphorically functions as the soil of our contemporary songs and styles. Free of ego, and performed with masterful conviction, Bob Dylan ranks with the debut efforts of similar artistic giants Elvis Presley and the Rolling Stones. Mastered from the original master tapes, pressed at RTI, and strictly limited to 3,000 copies, Mobile Fidelity's restored 180g mono 45RPM analog version brings the contents of this seminal release as closest as they've ever come to master tape-quality in the original mono configuration. Transparent to the source, the simple sounds of Dylan's voice, acoustic guitar, and harmonica take on lifelike perspective and directness-the \"husk and bark\" to which Robert Shelton referred in his now-legendary New York Times review of a Dylan appearance at Gerde's Folk City. MoFi has made possible an inexpensive time-traveling trip back to the Greenwich Village coffeehouses and folk clubs in which Dylan cut his teeth, albeit in much better fidelity and without any annoying background chatter. Wider grooves mean more information reaches your ears. As the preferred mix at the time of the recording, the mono version presents Dylan as he and his producers originally intended. Since the separation of the stereo versions isn't as sharp, the mono edition places Dylan's vocals in the heart of the musical action and as one with the accompaniment. It paints listeners an incredibly accurate portrait of the attention-getting, concrete mass of sound that features no artificial panning and straight-ahead immersion into the music. This is how almost everyone first heard this timeless album-making the mono mix all the more historically valuable and truthful. \u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44231722565853,"sku":"821797245814","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3457949.jpg?v=1727320022"},{"product_id":"willie-nelson-stardust-mofi","title":"Willie Nelson- Stardust (MoFi) (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAn American Classic: Gorgeous Breakthrough Album of Pop Standards Spent More than a Decade on Country Charts\u003c\/p\u003e\nQuintuple Platinum 1978 Set Finds Nelson Interpreting Fare From Likes of Kurt Weill, Hoagy Carmichael, and Irving Berlin Sumptuous Sound Elevates Booker T. Jones' Production: Mastered on Mobile Fidelity's World-Renowned Mastering System and Pressed at RTI As a Singer, Nelson Never Better: Gets Inside the Phrasing, Lyrics, and Emotions of Songs 'Why be predictable?,' Willie Nelson asked Columbia Records executive Nick Blackburn, after the latter resisted the Red Headed Stranger's decision to make an album of classic pop tunes. Talk about outlaw country. Cutting against the genre's traditions and Music Row conventions, Nelson's Stardust remains a genius-level creation as well as the icon's most commercially successful release, a truly gorgeous record infused with ultimate respect for composers and lyrics and many of the finest performances of his career. It is a quintessential part of any catalog. Mastered on Mobile Fidelity's world-renowned mastering system and pressed at RTI, this Silver Label LP dazzles with dead-quiet surfaces, tube-like warmth, and an enhanced soundstage. Further exposing the delicate touches abounding in Stax legend Booker T. Jones' production, this edition brings out the textured kernels of Nelson's voice - and the deep-seeded dignity, austerity, devotion, grit, sensitivity, grace, and plaintiveness within it. His brilliant phrasing throughout is on par with that of Frank Sinatra and Ray Charles, two giants that influenced this project and his willingness to pair with strings and small combo to wondrous effect. Having met Jones while living in Malibu, Nelson established a relationship with the musician that extended to roles as producer, arranger and band mate. Jones' superior knowledge of the American Songbook comes through via the material's economy of scale and sympathetic approach. Acoustic guitar arpeggios, contrasting breaks, bluesy harmonicas, glowing organs, R\u0026amp;B-tinged horns, brushed drums, and relaxed bass lines trickle throughout the songs, all distinguished by Nelson's intimate timbre and absolutely astonishing vocal expressiveness. In redefining and reimagining standards such as Irving Berlin's 'Blue Skies,' Hoagy Carmichael's 'Georgia On My Mind,' and the age-old 'All of Me' - all of which landed in the Top 5 of the Country singles chart - Nelson wedded together pop, country, jazz, folk, and blues in a manner in which no artist had ever before done. He gained considerable rewards for his exquisite efforts: Stardust sold more than five million copies and, incredibly, stayed on the Country album charts for more than ten years.

He mused: \"Today's popular music is in good shape indeed – at least the portion of it represented by this album.

Separation between vocals and guitars, images of individual players, and the dimensions of the wide-spanning soundstages all flourish. Harmonies crest and seemingly float on bypassing clouds.

The intent of deliberate euphonic variations – like those between the pair's singing and Charlie O'Donnell's spoken news report on the closing \"7 O'Clock News\/Silent Night,\" which function as both poetic and social commentary – is made clearer by way of the LP's reference-caliber transparency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSuch punctiliousness is exactly what the duo pursued during their four months in the studio, considered then by record-company executives to be borderline excessive.

Simon and Garfunkel achieve the feat time and again via interwoven harmonies, folk devices, revealing contrasts, vocal blending, spiritual imagery, and soaring melodies.

And while the individual appeal of chestnuts like \"Homeward Bound,\" \"Scarborough Fair\/Canticle,\" \"The 59th Street Bridge Song,\" and \"For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her\" remain iconic, the sum of the whole makes this 1966 masterwork a paramount expression of unbridled creativity and communal vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44231854096605,"sku":"821797148412","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/CMFSA2199__57067.jpg?v=1727319935"},{"product_id":"run-dmc-raising-hell-mofi-numbered-180g-supervinyl","title":"Run DMC- Raising Hell (MoFi Numbered 180g SuperVinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmong the Most Influential, Inventive, Invigorating Records Ever Released: Run- D.M.C.'s Raising Hell Brought Hip-Hop to the Mainstream, Includes \"Walk This Way\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from the Original Master Tapes and Pressed on MoFi SuperVinyl: Mobile Fidelity Numbered-Edition 180g 33RPM SuperVinyl LP Heightens Rick Rubin's Production, Includes New Liner Notes\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1\/2\" \/ 30 IPS analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRun-D.M.C.'s Raising Hell remains the turning point at which hip-hop crashed through mainstream barriers and never left.

Ranked the 123rd Greatest Album of All Time by Rolling Stone, 43rd on Pitchfork's Greatest Albums of the 1980s, one of the Top 100 Albums of All Time by TIME – and included on \"Best of\" lists by Spin, Paste, XXL, Entertainment Weekly, and basically every other significant media outlet – the triple-platinum effort rocks the house.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBenefitting from the ultra-low noise floor and groove definition of SuperVinyl, Raising Hell unleashes a torrent of massive dynamics and tsunami of frequency-plumbing details underlined by Rick Rubin's taut, crisp, albeit raw and streetwise production. Just as the Queens-based group both defined what hip-hop could represent – and displayed just how big it could get – Rubin's work melded ear-worm hooks, savvy drum loops, metal-leaning guitars, and, of course, Run and D.M.C.'s cross-fire lyrical interplay into watertight frameworks bursting with ideas, tones, samples, and beats.

Recorded by a virtually unknown singer-songwriter who had once been rejected by every major label, and bolstered by production and arrangements that spotlight Travis' impeccable vocals, Storms of Life spurred a stylistic sea change that would soon sweep Nashville and place the North Carolina native at the center of the neotraditionalist movement. More than three decades later, the LP's brilliance looms larger than ever.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMastered from the original analog master tapes, pressed on ultra-quiet vinyl at RTI, and issued in partnership with Warner Nashville in commemoration of the record's 35th anniversary, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g vinyl LP of Storms of Life stands as the first contemporary country audiophile reissue and a testament to Travis' Country Music Hall of Fame legacy. Housed in a single-pocket tip-on gatefold sleeve with new artwork, the quadruple-platinum album now boasts stellar transparency, breathtaking clarity, broad dynamics, and gorgeous tonalities that allow listeners the opportunity to experience one of the greatest vocalists in recent memory with unparalleled intimacy, realism, and breadth.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProduced by Kyle Lehning, and shaped to go against the mellowness and softness that were part of the then-current county-pop mold boosted by the popularity of Urban Cowboy, Storms of Life features fully formed architecture and expert instrumental support that benefit from the meticulous sonic restoration. Details such as the patient swell and bloom of pedal-steel guitars; rise and carry of background vocalists; bluesy drift of harmonicas; depth of pianos; airiness, snap and twang of acoustic guitars; back-porch sweetness of fiddles and mandolins; and grounding pace of the drums come across with reference-quality sound. Each contributor gets their own space in the mix. Music aficionados take note: Jerry Douglas, Mark O'Connor, Eddie Bayers, and David Hungate are just a few of the prized session musicians involved.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor all the merit afforded by the blend of honky tonk, country and western, and balladry, nothing eclipses what Travis brings to the project. Coupled with the back-to-basics songwriting, his inimitable presence is why Storms of Life remains as fresh today as it was the year Top Gun premiered in cinemas. He approaches every song with an uncanny modesty, his conservational drawl and casual demeanor nearly concealing the power, reach, and artisan-like effortlessness that inhabit each note he sings. Akin to groundbreaking icons such as Frank Sinatra and Hank Williams, Travis never overdoes it; rather, he relies on instinct, and combined with his golden pipes, never sounds less than completely invested.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOn Storms of Life, the gateway to a sterling career laden with hit albums and major awards, Travis uses such assets to maximum effect. Evidence of his greatness arrives immediately on the opening \"On the Other Hand,\" a clever take on an oft-worn country topic (unfaithfulness) and whose title ranks as one of the finest puns in the genre. Rich, steady, calm, and seemingly able to reach down into any bystander's soul, Travis' voice straddles tenderness and ache, reflecting the difficult situational divide facing the narrator, whose heart tugs him in one direction and his obligation another. It isn't the only instance where the then-27-year-old wades into messy emotional territory and retains an unshakable penchant for balance and spareness.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIndeed, the aptly named Storms of Life largely concerns itself with the human condition – and the memories, ruminations, meditations, wishes, and regrets that accompany it. On the two-stepping title track, Travis chronicles his circumstances with humor and color all the while emerging with a keen perspective. Busted relationships inform the upbeat, string- and choir-accented \"Diggin' up Bones\" and sentimental albeit sad \"No Place Like Home.\" For \"Reasons I Cheat,\" the protagonist makes no apologies for his behavior as Travis uncorks deep, grainy syllables amid the quiet that threaten to freeze the listener in place.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAkin to the understatement he shows on the lost-love story \"1982\" and toe-tapping \"There'll Always Be a Honky Tonk Somewhere,\" Travis – unlike some of the song narrators – remains in control throughout Storms of Life.

Stunning the audience with an interpretation that witnessed him personalize the composition with a brooding tone made possible via employment of his soon-to-be-trademark Harmon mute, Davis redefined perspective and possibility, taking ownership of the ballad as his own, and further improving upon its reach in the studio.

Sandwiched between the more famous 'Round About Midnight and the epochal Kind of Blue, Milestones remains a seminal work of art.\n\nSourced from the original master tapes and pressed on dead-quiet SuperVinyl, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g LP grants each musician their own space amid broad soundstages. Afforded the benefits of a nearly non-existent noise floor and supreme groove definition, this vinyl reissue doubles as a time machine back to the February-March 1958 recording sessions.\n\nColors, shapes, and dimensions appear in the manner that resembles what you'd glean from behind a studio control room's window. Davis' burnished trumpet is rendered in three-dimensional perspective and seemingly coaxes the band to play with unburdened zest. Coltrane's trademark saxophone teems with lifelike tonality and images with specificity; his solos work in tandem with and against the driving rhythms. Garland's swaggering piano lines? Visualize the keys as he hits full stride, the chords and fills slithering around skeletal frameworks.\n\nInducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and selected as a 'Core Collection' record by the Penguin Guide to Jazz, Milestones is as famous for it's title track - widely considered ground zero for modalism and bolstered by Jones' hallmark 'Philly Lick' rim shot - as the players that produced it. The launching pad for many of Davis' improvisational flights, the album teases the explorations Coltrane would soon chase. Davis' own solo work broaches territories that far exceed what he had done in his bop-rooted past. Every song is a highlight.\n\nTake the bravado 'Dr. Jackle,' featuring a hot-foot pace and bebop strains, or 'Sid's Ahead,' which continues the album's blues theme while juggling edgy harmonics and inside-out structures. On 'Billy Boy,' distinguished with an arco bass solo from Chambers, Garland gets a turn in the spotlight and channels the openness practiced by one of his heroes, Ahmad Jamal. Even more instructive is the band's reading of Dizzy Gillespie's 'Two Bass Hit.' Three years removed from the version Davis and company recorded for the trumpeter's Columbia debut, this interpretation demonstrates the extent to which the group had jelled in a relatively short amount of time.\n\nThen there's 'Straight, No Chaser,' the definitive rendition of Thelonious Monk's signature piece. Coltrane's marbled playing pulls at the tune's borders, Adderley takes liberty with solos, and Davis dances around his mates, at one point quoting 'When the Saints Go Marching In' while demonstrating his knowledge of tradition and casting an eye towards the future.\n\nAbout that future. Garland already had one foot out the door during the Milestones sessions to the extent Davis spells him on 'Sid's Ahead.' Jones would stick around for a bit longer but soon plot his exit. History proves Davis navigated the changes with visionary aplomb. Yet the chemistry, excitement, and beauty the sextet achieves on Milestones cannot be overstated. This reissue helps put the album in proper perspective - and presents the music the fidelity it deserves.\n\n1\/4' \/ 15 IPS Dolby SR analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe\nNumbered 180g 33RPM SuperVinyl LP\nNUMBERED SPECIAL EDITION\n\nTracklisting:\nSide One:\nDr. Jekyll\nSid's Ahead\nTwo Bass Hit\n\nSide Two:\nMilestones\nBilly Boy\nStraight, No Chaser\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44256179847389,"sku":"196588233517","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4237306-3024845.jpg?v=1727315931"},{"product_id":"run-dmc-king-of-rock-preorder","title":"Run DMC- King Of Rock (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003e1985 ALBUM ESTABLISHED HIP-HOP'S MODERN BLUEPRINT AND MAINSTREAM CURRENCY\nMastering Source to Be Determined Closer to Production Date; Specifics Will Be Posted Here When Authenticated\nRun-D.M.C. leaves no doubt about it's 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. 'It's not Michael Jackson\/And this is not Thriller,' the group broadcasts early on in the record.

Performed by an enterprising California quartet that took it's name from two of it's principal members, the 1978 debut ripped headlines away from punk, injected fresh energy into a then-moribund rock 'n' roll scene, reimagined how heavy music and throwback pop could coexist, and invited everyone to experience the top-down pleasures of a beachfront Saturday night every day of the week no matter where they lived. Painstakingly restored by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, and the first of a multi-album series in an exciting partnership between the famous reissue label and Van Halen, Van Halen delivers feel-good thrills and hormonally charged desires like never before.\n\nLimited to 15,000 numbered copies, pressed on dead-quiet MoFi SuperVinyl at RTI, and mastered from the original analog master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's ultra-hi-fi UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP collector's edition pays tribute to the record's merit and allows fans to experience Van Halen's original blend of raw power, Hollywood flair, and vaudeville fun for generations to come. Playing with reference-setting sonics that elevate a 10-times-platinum landmark whose importance cannot be quantitatively measured, this definitive version provides a clear, clean, transparent, balanced, and turn-the-volume-up-to-11 view of an album that birthed entirely new styles. Since MoFi's unique SuperVinyl compound allows you to crank the decibels to your wildest desires without risking noise-floor interference, prepare to not only hear but feel Van Halen in your chest, no fifth-row concert seat necessary.\n\nThe premium packaging and gorgeous presentation of the UD1S Van Halen pressing befit it's extremely select status. Housed in a deluxe box, it features 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 UD1S reissue exists as a curatorial artifact meant to be preserved, touched, and examined. It is made for discerning listeners that prize sound quality and production, and who desire to fully immerse themselves in the art - and everything involved with the album, from the iconic cover art to the meticulous finishes and, yes, of course, Eddie Van Halen's pioneering fretwork and his brother Alex's double-bass percussion.\n\nIndeed, could a piece of music that transformed how countless guitarists approached their instrument be more fittingly named than 'Eruption'? Likely not, and in just 102 seconds, Eddie Van Halen rewrote, reimagined, and reconfigured a vocabulary last significantly updated a decade earlier by fellow six-string wizard Jimi Hendrix. Akin to the Washington State legend, Eddie Van Halen developed his own techniques and tones all the while making his seismic accomplishments seem effortless. Devoid of the pretense, ego, and showiness that infected many of his imitators, the Dutch native sticks to a straightforward approach that underlines the authority, prowess, and visionary scope of his playing and then-unheard-of finger-tapping skills. Throughout Van Halen, he establishes himself as an instant idol - a savant whose otherworldly combination of breadth, poise, feel, speed, force, and melody seems beamed in from another galaxy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44256194429149,"sku":"821797203227","price":169.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4059026-2789354.jpg?v=1727315579"},{"product_id":"bob-dylan-good-as-i-been-to-you-preorder","title":"Bob Dylan- Good As I Been To You (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBob Dylan's First Solo Acoustic Album in Nearly 30 Years Remains an Overlooked Gem: Good As I Been to You Serves as a Prelude to His Celebrated Late-Career Arc\n\nSourced from the Original Master Tapes and Presented in Audiophile Sound for the First Time: Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition 180g SuperVinyl LP and Hybrid SACD Play with Riveting Detail\n\nCenturies-Spanning Cover Songs Punctuated with Strange Mystery, Common Circumstance, and Epic Adventure\n\nThree decades before he released The Philosophy of Modern Song - an insightful book devoted to 66 tunes that both impacted his career and the music world at large - Bob Dylan issued Good As I Been to You. The under-heralded 1992 album, Dylan's first solo acoustic album in nearly 30 years and first all-covers effort in nearly 20 years, can be seen as a prophetic prelude to what has become the Nobel Laureate's celebrated late-career arc. It's also an absorbing continuation of the custom Dylan has embraced since he first picked up a guitar. Resonating with the same originality, honesty, resolve, and age- and timedefying relevance as the seminal Anthology of American Folk Music that fired Dylan's imagination as a kid in small-town Minnesota, this record contains the type of music the maverick singer-songwriter was playing during his acoustic sets at his period Never Ending Tour shows.\n\nSourced from the original master tapes, pressed at RTI, and housed in a Stoughton jacket, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g SuperVinyl LP as well as the companion hybrid SACD of Good As I Been to You reveal the immediacy, detail, and stripped down nature of recording sessions that took place in Dylan's garage studio in California. Simple, raw, and unplugged, the effort presents Dylan in peak form - and showcases a diversity of vocal phrasing, soulful chording, harmonica accents, and closeup ambience that on these reissues emerge like never before.

Viewed solely through the lens of sales numbers, Whitney Houston is a watershed statement on par with the most commercially successful and culturally dominant LPs ever released. Having sold more than 14 million copies in the U.S. and upwards of 25 million units worldwide, the 1985 LP became the equivalent of the television show or blockbuster film that everyone collectively experiences and discusses. Nearly four decades later, it's lost none of it's appeal or magnetism - and it's artistic significance and historical import have only grown. \n\nSourced from the original master tapes, pressed at RTI on MoFi SuperVinyl, and strictly limited to 4,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's 180g SuperVinyl LP of Whitney Houston presents the breakthrough in audiophile sound for the first time. The signature traits Houston exhibits on every song - her three-octave range, radiant warmth, personal conviction, impossibly controlled register - come across with exceptional clarity, focus, and presence. Free of artificial ceilings and constricted dynamics, this reissue plays with an openness, airiness, and balance that put the singer's once-in-a-lifetime instrument and immortal artistry into proper perspective. \n\nIt does the same for the songs' cascading melodies and captivating arrangements. Individually produced by one of four renowned industry veterans - Kashif, Micheal Masser, Jermaine Jackson, and Narada Michael Walden - each composition feels grander, closer, more genuine. A vocal spectacular, Whitney Houston benefits from the high-end characteristics of SuperVinyl, which include a nearly inaudible noise floor, superb groove definition, and dead-quiet surfaces. This is how an album that changed the direction of popular music - opening previously inaccessible doors for Black artists; bringing smooth-singing vocalists back into the mainstream; kickstarting a movement that soon included several 'divas' who would command the charts through the early 21st century - should look and sound. \n\nThough Houston's seemingly effortless performances suggest otherwise, creating the record Rolling Stone ranks as the 257th Greatest Album of All Time wasn't easy. Nearly 18 months were required to identify songs suitable for a still-unknown singer who did not fit into the conventional frameworks of the mid '80s. Confident, powerful, and prodigiously talented, Houston would forge her own parameters with Whitney Houston. In the process, she obliterated the stubborn lines between R\u0026amp;B and pop, Black and white radio. She dared to reimagine who could be a superstar and then went out and defined the role. Recorded for nearly $400,000 and released on Valentine's Day, the LP exceeded the wildest expectations of those most closely associated with it - save for Houston and her family. \n\nHaving made her first public appearance at the age of 11 singing at a Baptist church, Houston understood pressure and knew her way around, inside, and through a song. The invaluable guidance and support she received from her mother, Cissy, an accomplished gospel vocalist who backed Aretha Franklin and Elvis Presley, are on display throughout Whitney Houston. They arrive in the types of authoritativeness, discipline, and diction rare for even most seasoned veterans - and unheard-of for a 21-year-old newcomer. Houston brings a soulful elegance, understated glamor, and in-the-moment rapture to every note. Moving up, down, or staying in the middle of the vocal ladder; channeling softness or sweetness; showing restraint or increasing the volume, she is a marvel of emotionalism, a dynamo who can seamlessly transition from one mood to another within a verse.\n\nThough the 10-track LP largely concerns itself with the ballad tradition, Houston covers the bases, getting into an R\u0026amp;B groove on the fleet 'Thinking About You,' turning up the heat on the duet 'Take Good Care of My Heart,' and investing the contagious dance-pop confection 'How Will I Know' with all the anxiety, hope, energy, and enthusiasm it's lyrics demand. Featuring her mom on background vocals and Houston's pitch-perfect tone, uncanny precision, and skyscraper highs (no AutoTune here, friends), the synth-based anthem propelled Whitney Houston into the stratosphere, the vocalist into regular MTV rotation, and the term 'crossover' into popular parlance. The double-platinum single reached No. 1 on the Hot 100, Hot R\u0026amp;B, and Adult Contemporary charts - a trifecta that foreshadowed accomplishments that would ultimately crown Houston as the most-awarded female artist of all time. \n\nWhitney Houston became the first album by a Black female performer to top the Billboard charts. It remained there for 14 non-consecutive weeks en route to claiming the title of the best-selling LP of 1986. It stands as the first debut and first album by a solo female artist to spawn three No. Hits, as well as the first album by a Black female artist to top the year-end charts in Australia and Canada. These are just a handful of the accolades - along with four Grammy nominations - that surround a set that also contains the unforgettable ballad 'Saving All My Love,' string-accompanied 'Greatest Love of All,' and sensual 'You Give Good Love.' \n\nAs TIME observed in an article written two years after the album took the world by storm: 'This is infectious, can't-sit-down music, and her performance dares the listener not to smile right back.'

Ruth Brown's sizzling full-length debut - also known by it's eponymous title - symbolizes what was exciting, fresh, invigorating, and raw about the burgeoning style in it's halcyon days. Originally released in 1957, and reissued here in audiophile quality for the first time in partnership with Atlantic Records' 75th anniversary, the set remains a testament to one of the most pioneering and talented vocalists to ever command a stage.\n\nMastered on Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's renowned mastering system in California, pressed at RTI, housed in a Stoughton jacket, and strictly limited to 2,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's 180g mono LP of Rock \u0026amp; Roll plays with an immediacy, vibrancy, and fullness that showcase the reach, power, and emotionalism of Brown's voice. The sound of her support musicians - brassy horns, swinging rhythm combos, echoing backing vocalists, rollicking pianists, jaunty guitarists - is made clear and vivid, helping the upbeat fare to jump, juke, and jive with newfound energy and exuberance. In a related manner, Brown's slower, more understated material crackles with an intimacy and passion that let you know you're in the presence of a woman who has lived what she sings. The longtime Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member deserves nothing less.\n\nIn an era dominated by big-throated vocalists, few - if any - came grander than Brown. The singer, whose repeat million-selling '50s success with Atlantic Records led many to call the then-indie label 'The House That Ruth Built,' charted two dozen R\u0026amp;B hits in the span of a decade for the fledgling imprint. Rightly coined 'Miss Rhythm,' the extroverted Brown put Atlantic on the national map, became the best-selling female musician of the '50s, and established a precedent that would ultimately lead to Grammy and Tony Awards. Her early works have lost none of their fire or flair.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mobile Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45005359710429,"sku":"821797154826","price":53.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/MTEtNjk3NS5qcGVn.jpg?v=1771203291"},{"product_id":"michael-jackson-thriller-10","title":"Michael Jackson- Thriller (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Best-Selling Album of All Time Celebrates It's 40th Anniversary: Michael Jackson's Thriller Receives Definitive Treatment on Mobile Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 33RPM LP Set\n\nMastered from the Original Analog Master Tapes and Housed in a Deluxe Slipcase: Experience the Transformative Songs, Soulful Vocals, Sleek Rhythms, and Vibrant Production as If Hearing It All for the First Time\n\nPutting into perspective the incalculable impact and pioneering significance of the best-selling album of all time has never been easy. Though Michael Jackson's Thriller lays claim to mind-boggling statistics - for starters, it netted a record-breaking eight Grammy Awards and sold upwards of 70 million copies globally - that serve as reminders of how pervasive and indispensable it remains to music snobs and casual listeners alike, it's essence always traces back to the greatness, power, and scope of the songs. Now, as it celebrates it's 40th anniversary, the blockbuster that reconceptualized music via a genre- and color-blind blend of fleet pop, funk, disco, soul, and rock sent up with cinematic panache and dynamic energy; united audiences; made strides towards achieving racial equality; and taught the world how to dance sounds even more invigorating than it did during the advent of the Walkman.\n\nMastered from the original analog master tapes, pressed at RTI, housed in a slipcase, and strictly limited to 40,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 33RPM LP set does for Thriller what Jackson's unforgettable appearance on the 'Motown 25' TV special in 1983 did for his career: It makes the music personal, human, desirable, relatable, imaginative - the definition of cool. This extraordinary reissue does so by presenting the songs in lifelike fashion, zeroing in on the fundamentals with laser focus, and magnifying the brilliance of the production, arrangements, and vocals in ways that let everyone experience Thriller as if hearing the album for the first time.

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. Cited the 155th Greatest Album of All Time by Rolling Stone, Pretenders 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, songs overflow with keen hooks, sexual swagger, and ear-catching melodies. Courtesy of the spiked rhythms 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. Mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's numbered limited-edition SACD 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 myriad textures. Originally recorded live in the studio at high volume levels by producer Chris Thomas, the record now boasts added extension, sharper imaging, multi-dimensional soundstaging, and a crispness that practically places The Pretenders on a small stage in your room. Replete with detail and nuance-particularly, Hynde's singing and guitarist James Honeyman-Scott's terrific playing-this is a record that rewards the kind of repeat listening and full-bloom playback afforded by this nonpareil edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecious\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Phone Call\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Up the Neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tattooed Love Boys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Space Invader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Wait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Stop Your Sobbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Kid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Private Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Brass in Pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lovers of Today\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mystery Achievement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mobile Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45005644497117,"sku":"821797137218","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/2987716.jpg?v=1727241165"},{"product_id":"janis-joplin-pearl-14","title":"Janis Joplin- Pearl (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mobile Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45005729104093,"sku":"888751392014","price":77.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"grateful-dead-workingmans-dead-10","title":"Grateful Dead- Workingman's Dead (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSublime, Stripped-Down 1970 Americana Classic Steeped in Country, Blues, and Folk You've Never Heard This Roots-Based Marvel Sound Better: Mastered from the Original Master Tapes and Given Extra-Wide Grooves on 45RPM LP Ranked #264 on Rolling Stone's List of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time: Airy Harmonies, Simple Structures, Concise Arrangements, and Burnished Tones Anchor Songs Bookend to 1970's American Beauty, Also Available on 180g 45RPM 2 LP from Mobile Fidelity Workingman's Dead defies the erroneous belief that the Grateful Dead never attained brilliance in the recording studio. 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 releases, 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. 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. The first Grateful Dead album to eschew cosmic jams and complex signatures, Workingman's Dead stakes it's existence to great songs, homespun warmth, and bare essentials. It's 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 it's 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. As such, Workingman's Dead acts as a retreat from chaos and uncertainty, it's 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 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. 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 ever 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. 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 it's accessibility and charm - deserves nothing less.
