Mobile Fidelity Super Deep Cleaner is made to clean very soiled LPs and is also recommended as a pre-cleaner for extra dirty records. Super Deep Cleaner can be used for removing pressing debris and 'mold release compound' from sealed LPs, as well. It's much more powerful than Super Record Wash and should be used as the first step in your cleaning process. As always, Mobile Fidelity Super Deep Cleaner is made with an exclusive Quad-Distilled, hyper-pure water base with a mild detergent that leaves no residue and cannot damage the surface of your records.
Our all-time, best-selling record cleaning fluid is better than ever. It’s been improved to be more powerful, but still perfectly safe for all record surfaces. Completely alcohol free, Mobile Fidelity Super Record Wash incorporates non-toxic, natural degreasers and dirt solvents in combination with quadruple-distilled, hyper-pure water base. MoFi Super Record Wash will keep your records sounding quiet and looking great! This is the best one-step record cleaning fluid for use with any Record Cleaning Machine or any hand cleaning system.
The Mobile Fidelity Record Brush is the best record brush currently available! These are the Replacement Pads for the Record Brush. The pads are simple to replace, gently peel off the old pad, replace it with the new pad, and you're ready to get back to cleaning records. For best results we recommend allowing the adhesive to set for 24Hrs before use.
Mobile Fidelity recommends replacing the pads on your Record Brush after cleaning approximately 100-150 records or when the pad begins to show wear.
This package consists of two replacement cleaning pads.
Mobile Fidelity ONE Record Cleaning Solution is the Best, Easiest, One-Step LP Cleaner for Those of You Without a Record Cleaning Machine!
For record collectors who don’t use a vacuum cleaning system, there is now a unique product that is perfect for cleaning vinyl. Introducing Mobile Fidelity ONE Cleaning Fluid. Rather than using our exclusive triple-distilled water as a base, we have produced a formulation that contains a base of quick-drying alcohol. Our intention was to make a cleaner that dissolves particulate matter and evaporates, taking the residue with it, eliminating the need for a secondary stage of rinsing.
Users will hear a reduction in noise and quieter, blacker backgrounds, allowing a greater dynamic range. Instruments jump out, revealing more air in the recording, bringing the listener closer to the music. The best part is that by using Mobile Fidelity ONE Cleaning Fluid, audiophiles will be maintaining their valuable investment in vinyl.
Like all our formulations, Mobile Fidelity ONE Cleaning Fluid contains neither fragrances nor oils. These oils, which have no place on valuable records, remain behind on the surface as a film, attracting particles and affecting the sonic signature. ONE Cleaning Fluid removes that veil between the listener and the music. Call us today to learn more about how analog lovers can benefit from Mobile Fidelity ONE Cleaning Fluid.
Mobile Fidelity PLUS Enzyme LP Cleaning Fluid Removes All Organic Materials Embedded in the Grooves of Your Precious Vinyl Records. Nothing on the Market Works as Well to Remove Oils, Sweat, Smoke and Mold!
Mobile Fidelity PLUS Enzyme Cleaner for all Vinyl LPs is a revolution in record cleaning! PLUS uses enzymes to more completely clean records than any other fluid we've found.
Most sound degrading contaminants found on records are organic in nature, oils and sweat from hands, skin, hair and other minuscule particles of dust are attracted by electrostatic charges on the vinyl and can become deeply embedded in the vinyl. The best way to remove these is with an enzyme specifically designed for this purpose. By coating the play surface with PLUS Enzyme Cleaning Fluid and allowing it to sit on the record surface for 3-5 minutes, the enzymes will break the particles down and loosen them from the grooves.
Highly purified, high surface tension water is used as the base for PLUS - water that will bead up, removing contaminants and holding them in the water beads, rather than allowing them to settle back into the grooves.
Using PLUS is a revelation, even on a clean record, the improvement is shocking. Drastically lower noise floor, increased dynamic range, richer tonal balance and clear undistorted peaks. Put simply, PLUS reveals more of the information that's been hiding in the grooves.
To get the most out of PLUS, we highly recommend using Mobile Fidelity PURE Record Rinse. PURE is ultra-pure water that has gone through four stages of deionization, after which it is triple-distilled, then treated with high intensity ultraviolet light to kill all bacteria and microbiological particles. This intense and thorough process leaves nothing in PURE to harm your vinyl.
Mobile Fidelity has a history of setting industry standards. We are the first to provide this quality of care in our base and rinse water. The ultraviolet light purification sets the bar for the competition to once again play catch-up. Call us today to learn more about how analog lovers can benefit from Mobile Fidelity PLUS Enzyme Cleaning Fluid.
Mobile Fidelity PURE RECORD RINSE is the "Purest" of All Record Rinses... PERIOD! You Cannot Find a Fluid Anywhere this... PURE!
Recommended as a Final Rinse Stage to Be Used With ANY Record Cleaning Solution to Remove Any and All Residual Detergents and Debris!
Mobile Fidelity's PURE Record Rinse is the purest water you can find for cleaning records. Ultra-high purity Mobile Fidelity PURE Record Rinse is also used as the base of our other record cleaning fluids and is perfect for use as the final rinse step before putting LPs back into their sleeves (preferably into MoFi inner sleeves!).
Every serious vinyl fan knows you should never rinse your records with tap water. Tap water contains trace minerals, chemicals and microscopic organic matter all of which can be deposited in freshly cleaned grooves. Bottled water comes from either the same sources as tap water or from natural springs which have an even larger amount of minerals.
“Purified” water isn’t subject to the same restrictions and regulations that apply to food or drugs, so "purified" doesn't necesarily mean PURE. Distilled water without additives is harder to find than ever and even water that has been distilled once or twice can still have contaminants.
We highly recommend rinsing with Mobile Fidelity PURE Record Rinse. PURE is water that has gone through four stages of deionization, after which it is triple-distilled, then treated with high intensity ultraviolet light to kill all bacteria and microbiological particles. This leaves nothing in PURE to damage your vinyl.
Mobile Fidelity has a history of setting industry standards. Now, we are the first to provide this extraordinary level of quality in our rinse water. Call us today to learn more about how analog lovers can benefit from Mobile Fidelity PURE Record Rinse.
Mobile Fidelity SONIC CONNECT Will Clean All of Your Contacts and Connectors to Insure Nothing Gets Between You and Your Music!
Mobile Fidelity proudly introduces the Mobile Fidelity SONIC CONNECT Cleaning System, the absolutely best way to clean audio contacts. This formula has been used in many mission-critical applications as well as by very well-known recording studios since the mid-1990s and is now available to help wring the fullest potential out of audiophile equipment.
Audio professionals are keenly aware that dirty contacts are a source of amusical distortion robbing their recordings of power, clarity, and musicality. Sound engineers use Sonic Connect on every metal-metal connection in both cabling and recording equipment: microphone XLR connectors, signal cable connectors, AC outlets and plugs, 2-inch open reel mastering decks and many others. Several hydroelectric dams use this solution to clean oxidation from their large power distribution lines to ensure maximum conductivity and reduce down time.
Mobile Fidelity SONIC CONNECT Cleaning System is a 2-step process. Step One is a solution designed to remove oxidation from metal parts. Step Two is a powerful solvent which removes grease, oils and other contaminants that impede and distort signal flow. In combination, SONIC CONNECT removes more and leaves less residue than any other contact cleaner we've used. Hear music and see video without the grunge and veiling introduced by dirty contacts. Once connections are fully cleaned with Sonic Connect, a contact enhancer may be used, if desired.
We recommend cleaning connections with Mobile Fidelity SONIC CONNECT Cleaning at least twice a year, more often if the equipment is in humid or very dusty environments. Analog lovers, call us today to find out how your system can benefit from Mobile Fidelity SONIC CONNECT Cleaning System!

Careless Love Madeleine Peyroux $29.99$28.99
Gain 2 Ultra Analog 1/2 Speed Mastered 180 Gram Audiophile Virgin High Definition Vinyl LP -Sealed
"Peyroux is the real deal. She brushes off comparisons to Billie Holiday, but it's certainly not bad company to keep. This is a beautiful record flowing with sparse arrangements and sultry vocals. If you like Norah...wait until you hear this! The 12 songs found on Carless Love feature a mix of acoustic blues, country ballads and torch songs showcasing Peyroux's sultry alto. Highlights include "Dont' Wait Too Long" composed by Perouyx, producer Larry Klien (of Joni Mitchell fame) and Jesse Harris (best know for his contributions to Norah Jones' hit album, Come Away With Me). Also exemplary are Peyroux's warm renditions of Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me to the End of Love" and a lightly-swinging arrangement of Bob Dylan's "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You go"." MFSL

So Long So Wrong Alison Krauss $42.99$38.99
Gain 2 Ultra Analog 1/2 Speed Mastered 180 Gram Audiophile High Definition Vinyl LP -2 LPs Sealed
"Available for the very first time on vinyl. This is the best AKUS album to date. (AKUS is the band's own acronym for Alison Krauss & Union Station). The best songs, the best playing, the best singing and the best sound! This must have 2-LP set gets more addictive with every play. Call it bluegrass or call it acoustic pop, either way Alison Krauss and Union Station have created an incredible montage of music. As usual, it is Alison's beautiful vocals that gives it that "high, lonesome sound."
There are thirteen vocal songs and one instrumental on this two-record set. Krauss is the lead vocalist on eight of the songs and Union Station members share the other lead vocals. The virtuoso musicians comprising the group are Barry Bales (acoustic bass), Ron Block (banjo, guitar), Adam Steffey (mandolin), and Dan Tyminski (guitar). Of course Krauss started her career as a violinist (fiddler to the bluegrass world) and she doesn't leave that instrument out either. Due to the unmatched resolution of the Gain 2 Ultra Analog Cutting System, all the acoustic instruments and voices on the record are reproduced with an exceptional sense of space and clarity.
The tunes are mostly new material and alternate from bluegrass to acoustic pop. The standouts on the album are Alison's numbers: "It Doesn't Matter," "Looking in the Eyes of Love," and the gospel "There is a Reason." These are all quiet, reflective pieces with the haunting, almost angelic quality of Krauss' voice demonstrated to its fullest. The harmony singing on every cut shows off the vocal prowess of the entire ensemble. The title track in particular stands out for its use of harmony and incredible accurate presentation of acoustic instruments. The male vocalists are superb in their own right and each of the band members has the spotlight somewhere on the album." MFSL

Half The Perfect World Madeleine Peyroux $39.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
Mobile Fidelity does an amazing mastering job on this incredible female vocal recording! Madeleine Peyroux, the smokey-voiced singer, guitarist and songwriter, nails her follow-up to her multi-platinum selling 2004 breakthrough Careless Love. Half the Perfect World showcases Peyroux’s uncanny gift for exploring the emotional core of songs by other singers and songwriters she’s admired, and also displays her talents as a writer on four songs she co-wrote.
Many of the album’s songs explore romantic relationships from a distinctly female perspective. As Peyroux says “These love songs come from an extremely personal place, and therefore allowed me a most intimate reading.”
Produced by Larry Klein, the 12-track album finds Peyroux lending her sublime vocals to songs by artists she has cherished throughout her lifetime such as Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Fred Neil and Joni Mitchell. Peyroux wrote the upbeat “I’m All Right” with Klein and Steely Dan’s Walter Becker, and three other songs with Klein and Jesse Harris (who co-wrote “Don’t Wait Too Long” on Careless Love).

After much success (and a little luck) with our Little Richard hits packages, MoFi next visited the Sony vaults to identify and audition the original masters of another rock pioneer. This famous Roy Orbison collection had originally been compiled by Monument Records in 1972 and has stayed in print ever since. Before being wooed away by the old MGM Records label, Orbison experienced an astonishing run for Monument, placing fifteen singles (all included here) in the Top 100 on the pop and country charts.

Originally released the same month as their incendiary set at Woodstock, this impressive debut for Columbia kick-started a Hall of Fame legacy that lasts still today. Establishing one of the most instantly recognizable sounds in rock; Carlos’ signature tone and phrasing coupled with Afro-Cuban percussion virtually launched Latin-Rock fusion. Both AM and FM airwaves were scorched in the ensuing months with their charted singles "Evil Ways" (#9) and Jingo (#93) plus "Soul Sacrifice", a favorite after it’s featured spot in the Woodstock movie and soundtrack.

Permanent Waves Rush $29.99$28.99
Gain 2 Ultra Analog 180 Gram Vinyl LP - Sealed
By 1980, Rush was experiencing the mid-point of what would be their golden period of recording (1976-1982). Released in January that year, Permanent Waves was a transitional exercise that moved them further from the 'prog-rock' lump-labeling and pointed the way for their next masterpiece the following year, Moving Pictures.
Peaking at Number 4 on the Billboard's Album chart, Permanent Waves spawned such perennial concert staples as “Freewill” and “Spirit of Radio”. Well-beyond the power-trio of old, Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart each contributed equally, with multiple instrumentation and arranging approaches. With Terry Brown, (on board from their 1974 debut through 1982's Signals) again producing, each album was a leap forward in mixing and production values, helping elevate the group to the upper echelons of rockdom. The combination of songwriting, arranging and production indeed renders it "an undisputed rock classic".

Abraxas Santana $30.99$29.99
Gain 2 Ultra Analog 180 Gram Vinyl LP - Sealed
One of rock’s true masterpieces, this stunning sophomore effort was released in September, 1970 to unanimous accolades and went to Number One on the Billboard Pop Album chart. Utilizing the studio more in overall production than on their debut (especially in mixing and using cross-fades) the band and producer Fred Catero (Janis Joplin, BS&T, Chicago) still maintained the street energy and ethnic roots, while elevating Carlos’ guitar passages to god-like status; resulting in the pinnacle of their album output. Wicked re-worked arrangements of songs as dichotomatic as the connecting of Peter Green’s "Black Magic Woman" with Gabor Szabo’s "Gypsy Queen" in medley, followed directly in sequence on side one with Tito Puente’s "Oye Como Va" (charting at #13), was both brilliant and on-par with anything going down in music at the time, period.

Angel Dust Faith No More $39.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
Angel Dust is the fourth studio album by Faith No More and it was the second to feature Mike Patton on vocals and the final with long time guitarist Jim Martin. To this day it is still held in very high regard as one of the most influential records of the '90s and many consider this album to be Faith No More at their finest. It was on Angel Dust that Mike Patton really came into his own and Billy Gould, Roddy Bottum and Mike "Puffy" Bordin, thanks to the success of The Real Thing, had more confidence in their ability to create the album they truly wanted to. At the same time, guitarist Jim Martin began to become dissatisfied with the direction that their music was going and after touring to support Angel Dust in the summer of 1992, he exited the band due to internal conflicts.

180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
After the success of Heart Like A Wheel, Linda Ronstadt released Prisoner In Disguise in 1975, which further fortified her standing as one of America's most popular interpretive singers. The album yielded two strong singles, her beautiful renditions of the Motown classics "Heat Wave" and "Tracks of My Tears." In addition the album included a banjo-strumming version of Neil Young's "Love Is a Rose," a plaintive pop reading of Jimmy Cliff's reggae classic "Many Rivers to Cross" and a lovely cover of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You."

Art Pepper The Way It Was! On Numbered Limited Edition 180g Vinyl LP
Art Pepper’s The Way it Was! was recorded for Contemporary between 1956-60 and the album is built around four previously un-released tunes pairing Pepper with the tenor of Warne Marsh. Filling out the program are three incredible tracks from Pepper's 1960 masterpieces Gettin' Together and Intensity as well as a cut from his 1957 release Meets the Rhythm Section. Supported by the likes of Paul Chambers, Philly Joe Jones, Wynton Kelly, Jimmy Cobb and Red Garland, their workouts on the standards “The Man I Love,” “Autumn Leaves” and especially “The Way You Look Tonight” establish a brilliant east-coast meets west-coast summit. Art's creamy alto more than holds it's own with some of New York's bop-elite, resulting in a masterpiece in its own right. Now here on Mobile Fidelity Numbered Limited Edition 180g Vinyl!

Bored with his role as John Lennon in the musical Beatlemania in February of 1980, Marshall Crenshaw decided to try his hand at songwriting. By August of that year, he was playing his songs at gigs around Manhattan with his drummer brother, Robert and bassist Chris Donato. After singer Robert Gordon recorded three of his tunes, Crenshaw was signed by Warner Brothers and this, his self titled debut album was released in 1982. It was immediately lauded as a pop masterpiece and Crenshaw was recognized as a first-rate songwriter, singer and guitarist. Gems like "Someday, Someway," "She Can't Dance" and "Not for Me," all remain timeless classics that add up to one of the finest debuts of its day.

"Mobile Fidelity is back...BIG TIME! In continuation of the world's most sought after series of the world’s finest LP reissues, MFSL returns with one of rock and roll’s most important visionaries and a rock classic no collection should be without: John Lennon - Imagine.

Plastic Ono Band John Lennon $29.99
Gain 2 Ultra Analog 1/2 Speed Mastered 180 Gram Audiophile High Definition Vinyl LP -Sealed
"The intense emotional intimacy of this timeless masterpiece is fully realized via Mobile Fidelity's proprietary GAIN 2 (Greater Ambient Information Network) mastering process which enables the maximum amount of musical information to be extracted from the original master recording. Introspective and painfully personal, Plastic Ono Band is an extremely courageous solo debut for a man who was already subjected to an unprededented level of public scrutiny. Yet there is no conflict or compromise here between art and commerce here - Lennon clearly serves his muse. Where as the Beatles sang of a pending social revolution, on Plastic Ono Band, Lennon unleashed one. Musically, diverse elements of rock & roll, folk, and heartfelt balladeering are melded together and anchored by John’s haunting voice and melodic brilliance. Thankfully, the timeless intimacy and thoughtful meaning behind these songs are finally unveiled via Mobile Fidelity’s GAIN 2 Ultra Analog mastering process." MFSL

Bachelor No. 2 Aimee Mann $25.99$24.99
Gain 2 Ultra Analog 1/2 Speed Mastered 180 Gram Audiophile High Definition vinyl LP -Sealed
"Bachelor No. 2 or the last remains of the dodo was recorded at the same time as Aimee Mann's soundtrack to the film Magnolia (in fact, this album contains four of the same songs). The multi-layered keyboards and interwoven guitars provided this former 'Til Tuesday lead singer and songwriter with the perfect backdrop for her distinctive and intimate voice.
Not quite a song cycle, the dark and incisive lyrics are melded with gorgeous melodies. Her collaborators include producer Jon Brion, Heartbreaker pianist Benmont Tench, singers Juliana Hatfield and Grant Lee Phillips, and most significantly in many capacities, Michael Penn. The meticulously mix was handled by Bob Clearmountain.
From Rolling Stone’s four-star review to Entertainment Weekly’s picking it as one of the top 10 albums of 2000 to England’s Mojo describing its “scintillating brilliance,” this disc is universally acclaimed as the work of one of America’s most exquisite songwriters. The complete illustrated lyrics are included." MFSL

Let the Good Times Roll: Half-Speed Mastered LP Sounds Amazing!
The Cars’ Classic 1978 Debut a Veritable Greatest Hits Album: Nearly Every Song a Radio Staple
"My Best Friend's Girl," "Just What I Needed," "You're All I've Got Tonight" Among the Tunes on the Hit Parade
One of the most successful and enjoyable debuts in history, The Cars’ self-titled album doubles as a greatest-hits collection. That’s because not one song here is unrecognized or unknown. A huge reason why the Boston quintet became America’s most popular new-wave band, The Cars launched eight tracks still regularly heard on radio stations everywhere. Consider the hit list: “You’re All I’ve Got Tonight.” “Good Times Roll.” “Just What I Needed.” “Moving in Stereo.” “My Best Friend’s Girl.” “Don’t Cha Stop.” If you’re a fan of pop music, this album is mandatory. Just call it the best new-wave rock album ever made.
Led by Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr, the Cars managed to unite then-disparate styles: bubblegum pop melodies, angular art rock, progressive arrangements, and terse minimalism. Orr’s low, understated singing and Ocasek’s cool, detached vocals lend shades of doubt and double meaning to the lyrics, which are further counterbalanced by orchestral keyboard flourishes and electronic beats. The brilliant arrangements also benefit from a laidback cool and understated irony that remain uncommon in the over-the-top world of mainstream music. Obsessed with incorporating the latest technologies and sounds into its palette, the band spiced its tunes with delightfully quirky accents—country-tinged guitar fills, echoing Syndrums, reggae splashes, hard-rock tones, robotic pulses.
The results are the sounds of a creative landmark. At once accessible and eccentric, edgy and catchy, The Cars explodes with emotion, energy, and hooks. It’s impossible not to get caught up humming and singing along to every song, an appeal that comes courtesy of Roy Thomas Baker’s stellar production. The legendary producer, best known for his work with Queen, ensured that the record seamlessly packed a smooth midrange, spacious imaging, and call-and-answer choruses in one tight package. Baker’s trademark touches with harmony vocals abound.
And now, The Cars sounds better than it has in any previous incarnation. Half-speed mastered from the original analog tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered limited-edition LP allows the music’s oscillating rhythms, futuristic keyboard passages, panned stereo images, and rippling textures to be experienced like never before. The songs take on a surreal quality, the Cars manipulating the vibrant music at will to mesmerize the listeners’ senses and hold them at bay. Mobile Fidelity’s unparalleled pressing epitomizes the sensation of “moving in stereo!”

You Won't Believe Your Ears: Half-Speed Mastered Sound from Original Master Tapes is Remarkably Lifelike
Brecker's Last Work: Saxophone Legend's Grammy-Winning 2007 Album is an Acknowledged Masterpiece
Jazz Doesn't Get Better Than This: Limited Edition Pressing Will Test the Limits of Your System
Pilgrimage is the last album saxophone colossus Michael Brecker ever recorded. Released just months after he succumbed to leukemia in January 2007, it’s also the late instrumentalist’s hands-down best work—and truly, one of the finest jazz records made during the past 30 years. Winner of two Grammy Awards (Best Jazz Instrumental Album and Best Jazz Instrumental Solo for “Anagram”), Pilgrimage ranked #2 on the DownBeat critic’s poll and topped many year-end lists. And for good reason.
Nothing short of transcendent, the music soars on the resplendent playing of an astonishing quintet of jazz’s heaviest hitters: pianists Herbie Hancock and Brad Mehldau, drummer Jack DeJohnette, guitarist Pat Metheny, and bassist John Patitucci. No, it doesn’t get better than this. Mobile Fidelity is honored to offer this glorious statement on a sonically spectacular half-speed mastered 180-gram 2-LP set that, like Brecker’s swan song, is without equal. You will not believe your ears.
Devoid of melancholic emotion and self-pitying moods, Pilgrimage is a joyous affirmation of life—an invitation to embrace possibilities rather than a sad farewell. The performances are mesmerizing. None of the musicians here can do wrong, particularly the leader, whose solos both weave melodic yarns (“The Mean Time”) and create harmonic contrasts (“Five Months From Midnight”).
Realizing that these sessions would be his last, Brecker's mates match his passion and soul. Absolutely essential listening, Pilgrimage is the energetic sound of John Coltrane’s legacy, the culmination of a visionary talent high on the upbeat rhythms of life. You will feel better about everything in your world after hearing this album.
“On its own terms, Pilgrimage is a stunning achievement: 77 minutes of compelling original music that never loses its edge, solos that soar, dynamic group interplay that communicates wonderfully in the universal language.” –Steve Greenlee, Boston Globe, May 2007
Half-speed mastered from the original tapes and lovingly pressed onto supremely quiet 180-gram vinyl, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered limited-edition 2-LP set of Pilgrimage presents the entire tonal spectrum of the music amidst a wide, deep, natural soundstage. This is one of the best-sounding albums you'll ever hear. High and low frequencies are free of limiting ceilings. Instrumental separation and imaging are stunningly lifelike. Natural dynamics and details abound. Waiting for a truly great and great-sounding modern jazz album? This is it. Pilgrimage gets our highest recommendation.

Grammy-Winning Gem Bookends Ronstadt’s Prisoner In Disguise, Also Available from MoFi on 24K Gold CD and 180-gram LP
Did any musician have more talent at their beckon call during the 70s than Linda Ronstadt? Absolutely not. Part of her impeccable string of mid-1970s albums that defined California’s soft-rock scene, the Grammy-winning Hasten Down the Wind is Ronstadt at her best—and that’s saying something. Consider the watertight repertoire: The Warren Zevon title track. Patsy Cline’s (by way of Willie Nelson) “Crazy.” Buddy Holly’s “That’ll Be the Day.” Nelson’s “Down So Low.” Karla Bonoff’s “If He’s Ever Near.” Ry Cooder’s “The Tattler.”
And then, there’s the supporting cast, which includes Eagles legend Don Henley on drums and harmony vocals, folk-rock legend Peter Asher on guitar, session drumming master Russ Kunkel, and multi-instrumentalist sensation Andrew Gold playing just about everything with strings or skins. Couple this with the thematically revealing cover—in a nod to the escapism of fantasy romance novels, the singer stands on a beach before an ocean and a running horse, her exposing dress a sign of the lovesick vulnerability that colors the songs—and Hasten Down the Wind is the complete package of sensuality, passion, and poignancy.
Now, due to Mobile Fidelity’s trademark sonic restoration, the album finally has the exquisite sound it has always deserved. Listeners can now literally feel Ronstadt’s deep-seeded emotions. Even better, her covers of affecting ballads and midtempo country-rock numbers intentionally revolve around vocal-heavy arrangements. It’s no wonder that the album, which topped the country charts, also yielded two Top 20 hits and resulted in the artist’s first platinum-record award. Yes, this is a truly precious affair—making its availability on 24K Gold CD all the more appropriate.
But make haste! Quantities are limited, and, unlike Ronstadt’s timeless interpretations, this will not be around forever. Get your lowest-numbered edition from Music Direct today!

The Plymouth Rock on which alternative rock was founded, the Pixies’ Surfer Rosa forever altered the music environment—even if it did take most of the world a few years to catch up with its brilliance. Internationally acknowledged as a pioneering record, its rollercoaster blend of harsh and soft tempos, male and female singing, intense punk and bubblegum pop tones, dark and light quips, and off-kilter sensibilities is the influential equivalent of the Velvet Underground’s oft-cited 1967 debut.
The 1987 debut established the Pixies as otherworldly visionaries whose songs such as the insistent “Bone Machine,” badgering “Something Against You,” and sensual “Cactus” remain ahead of the curve. Having analog fanatic and noise aficionado Steve Albini working production ensured that the music would retain a requisite rawness and in-your-face sonic signature that paralleled the fundamentally chaotic, compulsive characteristics of the Pixies’ songs.
And now, thanks to the painstaking efforts of Mobile Fidelity engineers, you will truly hear this groundbreaking record as if you were experiencing it for the first time. Vivid, immediate, massive, and detailed, this is how Surfer Rosa was meant to be heard when Albini completed it and turned it into the label.
Why pay $175 for the Pixies’ Minotaur limited-edition box that features the band’s four original records with dated (read: bland, compressed, and flat) sound when you can spend far less and, in addition to this superior 180-gram LP copy, get hybrid SACDs of Surfer Rosa, Doolittle, and Bossanova that play in all CD players and feature remastered sound sourced from the original master tapes? Jeff Anderson, who oversaw the release of Minotaur, says there is no remastering on the box because he didn’t want to touch the original master tapes. We did, and having finally hunted the true masters down, know you’ll agree with our results.
“The heaviness and hugeness of the room-reverberating drumbeat that begins the album-opening “Bone Machine” epitomizes the record’s forward impact, visceral punch, grinding crunch, and dynamic headroom. Rather than cluttering the mix with an avalanche of effects, Albini left space without sacrificing live detail or volatile oomph, shown to great effect on “Broken Face,” “Gigantic (there’s a piano—who knew?), and haunting “Where Is My Mind?,” which opens unto a sonic canyon that swallows the listener whole.” –Bob Gendron, The Absolute Sound, September 2007
