Fleetwood Mac – Fleetwood Mac (Mobile Fidelity CD)
Product Details
The 1975 addition of Buckingham and Nicks didn't just save Fleetwood Mac, it transformed them into something entirely new, blending California pop sensibility with the British blues foundation Mick Fleetwood and John McVie had been building since 1967. Christine McVie's keyboards and vocals held it all together, giving the album a warmth that made songs like "Say You Love Me" and "Over My Head" instant radio staples alongside the better-remembered "Rhiannon" and "Landslide."

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.

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.Numbered Hybrid Stereo.
