Description
* Fleetwood Mac Delivers Soft-Rock Bliss Amid Thematic Longing on Mirage: Double-Platinum 1982 Album Distills Band's Trademark Strengths, Features Addictive Pop Hooks and Three Top 25 Hits

* Experience the Well-Recorded and Well-Crafted Set in Reference Sound: Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition 180g 45RPM 2LP Is Sourced from the Original Master Tapes and Pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing If every significant artist has an underrated gem in it's catalog, then Mirage is that album for Fleetwood Mac. An obvious return to relative simplicity, the 1982 album finds the band re-grouping after a brief hiatus and again climbing to the top of the charts. Extremely well-crafted, well-produced, and well-performed, the double-platinum effort distills the group's hallmark strengths into a filler-free set that never runs short of addictive pop hooks or daft accents. Home to three Top 25 singles, Mirage rightfully resonated with the mainstream. And how, via a smart blend of sugary melodies, warm harmonies, interlaced notes, nimble rhythms, taut structures, and passionate vocals. Sourced from the original master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing in California, and housed in a Stoughton jacket, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP set presents Mirage in reference sound. The efforts co-producers/engineers Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut went to capture the splintered albeit formidable band can be heard with stunning accuracy, range, depth, and detail. Though Rumours has a permanent spot in the audiophile hall of fame, the smooth, clear, and dynamic sonics here confirm that what stood as Fleetwood Mac's last album for five years deserves a place in the same vaunted arena. The presence and imaging of Mick Fleetwood's percussion alone on this reissue might have you wondering how this slice of soft-rock bliss has gone under-noticed for decades. Other prized aural aspects - separation, definition, impact, tonal balance - are also abundant. 'Can't Go Back'? We beg to differ. 1/2' / 30 IPS Analog Master DSD 256 Analog Console Lathe Numbered 180g 45RPM Vinyl 2LP NUMBERED SPECIAL EDITION Track List Side A: Love in Store Can't Go Back That's Alright Side B: Book of Love Gypsy Only over You Side C: Empire State Straight Back Hold Me Side D: Oh Diane Eyes of the World Wish You Were Here
