Folk
Bob Dylan – Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid Mofi Hybrid SACD
£37.95Mastered from the original master tapes on Mobile Fidelity’s world-renowned mastering system, and strictly limited to 2,500 numbered copies, this hybrid SACD features reference-level instrumental separation and full-bodied tones that allow the songs to blossom amidst soundstages whose dimensions are limited only by the breadth of your stereo system.
The flinty, raw acoustic edge of Dylan and Bruce Langhorne’s guitars come into immediate relief. Booker T. Jones’ relaxed albeit taut bass, Jolly Roger’s down-home banjo, Russ Kunkel’s textured bongos, and the crucial string accompaniments similarly flourish.
David Crosby – If I Could Only Remember My Name – MoFi SACD
£42.00Mastered From The Original Master Tapes: Hybrid Sacd Conveys The Altered-Consciousness Aura, And Natural Lushness Of The Acoustic-Based Music
No album personifies the relaxed, loose, albeit troubled early 1970s California aura like If I Could Only Remember My Name. Hallucinogenic, trippy, and akin to a foggy dream you want to last for hours on end, David Crosby’s blissed-out solo debut transcends time and remains a key influence on the contemporary freak-folk scene. A thoroughly unique statement, it lingers as a beautiful convergence of spontaneity, collaboration, circumstance, and recording-studio acumen. Now, more than 50 years after its release, the longtime audiophile favorite has never sounded more ethereal, present, detailed, balanced, or lush.
