Fleetwood Mac / hybrid SACD

Hear the 1975 Blockbuster in Reference Sound: Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD Plays with Stunning Transparency, Detail, and Openness A veteran band with waning prospects, personnel churn, and management issues. A largely unknown duo whose eponymous debut flopped. An impromptu meeting in a supermarket that led to a fact-finding trip to Sound City Studios. The backstory behind Fleetwood Mac's self-titled album is nearly as incredible as the music on the 1975 recording - a blockbuster that altered pop-rock history, and found newcomers Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks permanently changing the profile and popularity of the British ensemble. 

Sourced from the original analog master tapes and housed in mini-LP-style gatefold packaging, Mobile Fidelity's numbered edition hybrid SACD of the nine-times-platinum effort plays with stunning transparency, dynamics, and detail. This reissue captures what went down in the California studio with arresting presence and sumptuous tonality. The innate chemistry among the five musicians can be heard here in stunning clarity, the taut albeit flexible rhythms distinguished with palpable grip, the blended vocals and airy harmonies benefitting from seemingly unlimited frequency extension. The thrilling results speak to the band's bond as well as healthy tension that led to recordings that remain revered for their exceptional realism, openness, textures, imaging, and soundstaging. Listen to this collectible version and you'll immediately understand why.
