Billy Joel – Turnstiles Mofi SACD
Experience The Orchestral Sweep, Ravishing Poignancy Like Never Before
By 1976, Billy Joel had proven his merit as an auteur of California-based singer-songwriter pop-rock. On Turnstiles, the legend focuses his attention on more ambitious matters: Making an album whose scope and range dwarf that of his previous work, and shot his star into the stratosphere. Encompassing everything from urgent rock to soft pop and saloon fare, Turnstiles is a classic of major proportions. We have gone back to the original master tapes to present Joel's encompassing music the way it was always intended to be experienced: Intimate, detailed, expressive, warm. The record's widescreen sonics are at last properly cinematic, flush with colors, textures, and atmosphere.

Paul Simon – There Goes Rhymin’ Simon – MoFi Ultradisc 180g 45RPM 2LP Box Set
NOW IN STOCK
MASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES AND LIMITED TO 10,000 NUMBERED COPIES Demonstrating a deep-seated flair for soul and R&B, Paul Simon recruited gospel backup singers and traveled to the Muscle Shoals Sound Studios to further refine the vibrant sounds he desired for There Goes Rhymin’ Simon. Clearly, his instincts proved correct. Many rightly consider the iconic singer-songwriter’s third album a masterpiece – one that, per critic Robert Christgau, “suggests a new grace and flexibility for the mass-pop mode, and invests small subjects and emotions with an almost luminous wit and awareness.”
Van Halen – Women and Children First – MoFi Ultradisc 180g 45RPM 2LP Box Set
AVAILABLE NOW!
MASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES AND PRESSED ON MOFI SUPERVINYL FOR A DEFINITIVE LISTENING EXPERIENCE Van Halen vocalist David Lee Roth says it all on the second song of the band’s third album – and third consecutive smash in less than three years time. “Everybody wants some!,” he declares before immediately querying, “Baby, how ’bout, you?” Roth and the rest of Van Halen already knew the answer. The quartet further confirmed its status as America’s leading rock band and principal party starters on Women and Children First while heading in harder, heavier directions with thrilling songs that Rolling Stone scribe David Fricke rightly deemed “works of high-volume art.” Mastered from the original analog tapes, pressed on MoFi SuperVinyl, and strictly limited and numbered, Mobile Fidelity’s UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP set of the triple-platinum effort ensures demand for the 1980 record has never been higher.

DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY WITH MOBILE FIDELITY’S FULLY RESTORED ULTRADISC ONE-STEP BOX SET How do you follow up one of the most groundbreaking albums ever made? For Van Halen, the answer was obvious.

Leveraging its years of experience as a tight-knit live band, and drawing on material initially recorded for its professional demos with Kiss leader Gene Simmons, the quartet completed the 1979 set in under a month while inviting fans to “dance the night away.” Did they ever. Van Halen II‘s brilliance continues to resonate today. Mastered from the original analog tapes, pressed on MoFi SuperVinyl, and strictly limited and numbered, Mobile Fidelity’s UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP set of Van Halen II lets it all hang out.
Van Halen – Fair Warning – MoFi Ultradisc 180g 45RPM 2LP Box Set
AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER
MASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES AND PRESSED ON MOFI SUPERVINYL The song titles on Van Halen’s aptly titled Fair Warning don’t lie. The likes of “Unchained,” “Mean Street,” “Push Comes to Shove,” “One Foot Out the Door,” and more indicate the mood the band channels on its 1981 record. It’s the nastiest, darkest, and fiercest album of the group’s storied career. Guitarist Eddie Van Halen uses the forceful arrangements as a playground for his seemingly unlimited arsenal. Supported by a crack rhythm section and an inspired David Lee Roth, he performs with an almost impossible combination of punk-like intensity, technical finesse, lyrical fluidity, and unbridled emotion. For the fourth time in four years, Van Halen threw down the gauntlet to all challengers and emerged victorious. Mastered from the original analog tapes, pressed on MoFi SuperVinyl, and strictly limited and numbered, Mobile Fidelity’s UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP set sounds the alarm with unfettered clarity, dynamics, and immediacy.

AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER
PRESSED ON MOFI SUPERVINYL, THIS ULTRADISC ONE-STEP BOX SET SOUNDS INCREDIBLE Van Halen’s winning track record with cover songs can be traced back to its 1978 Diamond-certified debut. Yet the ambitious approach, which showed off the band’s diversity, creativity, flair, and fun, took precedence like never before on Diver Down. Featuring five covers, many of which became radio staples, the record sprung from the band’s desire to remain relevant while taking a breather after four massively successful records and their respective tours. More than four million copies later, suffice it to say Diver Downachieved its goal. Mastered from the original analog tapes, pressed on MoFi SuperVinyl, and strictly limited and numbered, Mobile Fidelity’s UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP set is the definitive version of the 1982 album.
