INXS LISTEN LIKE THIEVES MFSL LIMITED EDITION NUMBERED AUDIOPHILE LP
Numbered, Limited Edition! Pressed at RTI!
Breakthrough 1985 Album Charted Three Great Singles
Australian Band Finds Its Groove With Bluesy Grooves, Pop Hooks
Includes “What You Need,” “Listen Like Thieves,” and “Kiss the Dirt”
Mastered on Mobile Fidelity's World-Renowned Mastering System and Pressed at RTI
True to the title of the record’s smash single, INXS gives you what you need on Listen Like Thieves. Originally released in 1985, the breakthrough album marked the group’s deserved entrance into the mainstream radio sphere and commercial charts. With its sound honed from prior records, INXS develops an enviably balanced combination of dance grooves, bluesy persuasion, acoustic framing, and pop bluster on this batch of supremely catchy fare, equally memorable for its melodic nature and stylistic fusion.
Working with producer Chris Thomas (John Cale, Pete Townshend, Roxy Music), INXS expands its versatility and reach. Vocalist Michael Hutchence, too, comes into his own, singing more confidently, soulfully, and warmly than in the past. While avoiding cheap imitation, the Aussies turn to the Rolling Stones as influences, churning out thick riffs and slithering rhythms that aim for the hips and stimulate the feet. Hutchence splits the difference between the sexual bravado of Mick Jagger and primal depth of Jim Morrison, and in doing so, establishes himself as an original who’s always careful not to overdo anything or overstay his welcome.
Bolstered by a series of can’t-miss singles—the swaggeringly funky “What You Need,” sharp thrust of "Listen Like Thieves", and wistful “Kiss the Dirt”—Listen Like Thieves teems with glorious hooks and intertwining instrumentation that cross-pollinates jazz, R&B, new-wave, and pub rock. Honking saxophone lines surge throughout, punctuating the spare chords and driving bridges with an insouciant edge missing from most of the decade’s pop. A knack for atmospheric production also plays a large role. On “Shine Like It Does,” a majestic moodiness takes hold, while “This Time” gives U2 a run for its money.
Mastered on Mobile Fidelity’s world-renowned mastering system and pressed at RTI, Silver Series’ numbered limited edition LP significantly enhances the midband, textural qualities, and ample spaciousness—all previously boxed-in on prior editions. The character of the bass notes, as well as the depth and breathiness of the vocals are also noticeably improved, bringing out the music’s personality and dynamics like never before.

Los Lobos By The Light Of The Moon Numbered, Limited Edition! Half-Speed AUDIOPHILE Mastered from the Original Master Tapes Pressed at RTI!
Mellowed-Out 1987 Album Showcases Band’s Contemplative Side and Virtuosic Musicianship
Los Lobos’ Sophomore LP Established Group as World’s Most Diversified, Capable Ensemble: A Perfect Record
Soulful Ballads, Roots R&B, Fiery Funk, Spiritual Folk Pepper Phenomenal LP
Los Lobos might have touted themselves as “just another band from East L.A.,” but it’s quite likely that even the group’s humble members recognized that few — if any — other artists in the late 1980s rivaled their soulful music, rousing performances, and eclectically blended arrangements. While lacking the commercial status of the quintet’s subsequent La Bamba release, By the Light of the Moon stands as the band’s most enjoyable excursion into American-hued soul, penetratingly reflective lyrics, and earnest roots rock. The music making is simply extraordinary.
Mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered limited edition 180g LP brings these 11 songs to life and out of the clouded, foggy sonic environment in which they’ve remained for more than two decades. For the first time, T Bone Burnett’s stripped-back production functions as it should. Namely, Los Lobos sound as if they’re playing at a small, sweaty neighborhood joint late on a Sunday night for an audience of locals, friends, and family.
The group’s uncanny ability to switch between instruments and effortlessly play each as if it’s their innate right — listen to the seamless fashion in which electric and acoustic guitars, marimbas, organs, saxophones, harmonicas, and percussion create strikingly memorable soundscapes — comes to light amidst a warmer, airier, more organic and deep-black background. David Hidalgo’s sweet, honeysuckle timbre, he and Cesar Rosas’ overlapping tremolo guitars, and stacks of interwoven rhythms jump with vibrant electricity.
Shifting into storytelling mode, Los Lobos use By the Light of the Moon as an opportunity to meditate on everyday America and channel the fate of normal communities. Issues of faith, mortality, love, disillusionment, and melancholy inform narratives that are on the same socially conscious level as those of period-era Bruce Springsteen and John Mellencamp. As for the songs, they crackle, waltz, shuffle, dance, tremble, and kick. The band almost dares listeners not to care.
Whether leaning into twangy two-step country-rock (“One Night In America”), dual-guitar shootout rockabilly (“Shakin’ Shakin’ Shakes”), swinging jump R&B (“Is This All There Is?”), tequila-spiked East Los Angeles-style rock (“Set Me Free (Rosa Lee)”), searing Latin-tinged blues (“My Baby’s Gone”), or poignant gospel-lined folk (“River of Fools”), Los Lobos’ Tex-Mex gumbo continually impresses and delights.
Don’t pass up one of the best releases of the 1980s and one of Los Lobos’ definitive statements. You’ll never hear a better pressing. Boleros, rancheros, and more await!

Billy Joel An Innocent Man Numbered Limited Edition 45rpm 180 GRAM 2LP SET
INDIVIDUALLY Numbered, Limited 180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE 45rpm LIMITED Edition!
Half-Speed Mastered From Original Master Tapes! Pressed at RTI!
Infectious Doo-Wop, carefree Soul, harmonious Pop give testament to the music of Billy Joel's childhood. This Mobile Fidelity reissue allows you to hear this pleasing set with fresh ears!
Another blockbuster by Joel this 1983 album became seven-times platinum and includes "Uptown Girl", "For the Longest Time", "An Innocent Man", and "Tell Her About It".
After making The Nylon Curtain, Billy Joel felt the need to exhale and get back to the carefree music of his childhood. He also met supermodel Christie Brinkley, who brought serious degrees of levity and romance to his world. In love, relaxed, and out to have fun, the singer crafted An Innocent Man, arguably the most easygoing and pleasing album of his career. Featuring four Top 40 pop singles and the same number of Top 5 Adult Contemporary hits to grace the Billboard charts, the record remains a commercial staple.
An essential title in Mobile Fidelity’s Billy Joel catalog restoration series, An Innocent Man is mastered from the original master tapes and pressed on 180g LP at RTI. The effervescent harmonies now possess an airiness and extension that lends to realistic tonal decay. Instruments are balanced and placed on a wider, deeper soundstage, contributing improved to improved imaging and spaciousness. Joel’s voice, too, comes across with tremendous clarity, presence, and body. These songs have never sounded so contagious.
Per usual, Joel proves a melodic jukebox. The vocalist’s grasp on structure, hooks, and delivery help make this batch of songs among his most beloved, easy to hum, and impossible to ignore. Much of the appeal resides in Joel’s understanding of the early rock and roll, doo-wop, and soul that he grew up hearing in New York, and the manners in which the popular songwriters favored simplicity over complexity, good-natured vibes over seriousness, and romantic charm over introspective sadness.
Whether floating on a cloud on the giddy “Uptown Girl” (check out his falsetto), doubling as both the lead and background vocalist on the reminiscent-themed “The Longest Time,” or tapping gospel undercurrents on the tribute “Keeping the Faith,” Joel revels in 50s and 60s pop constructs, turning out amiable refrains and unforgettable moods. Love perfumes the air, and Joel can’t get enough, and it's a feeling he passes on to his listeners.
As the calm before stormier periods in his life, and a timeless connection to America’s finest pop music traditions, An Innocent Man is indeed innocent—a guiltless pleasure that keeps on giving.

James Taylor Dad Loves His Work on Numbered Limited Edition 180g LP from Mobile Fidelity
Taylor's Emotional Juggernaut and Musical Marvel Simmers With Honesty, Conviction
Half-Speed Mastered from the Original Master Tapes: 1981 Classic Has Never Sounded So Real
Contemplative Record Contains Some of Best Songwriting of Taylor's Career
Recorded amidst a failing marriage, ongoing heroin addiction, alcohol dependency, and a sense of fading commercial prowess, James Taylor’s Dad Loves His Work is an emotional juggernaut and musical marvel. Long considered a classic of the singer-songwriter domain, the 1981 effort stands as Taylor’s last real “great” album and an involving aural artwork that simmers with honesty, conviction, and feeling.
Half-speed mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered limited-edition 180g LP marks the first time this classic has been properly remastered. Far exceeding the sonics of Sony’s CD reissue, this audiophile version lifts up the cover on a world of sound, with Taylor’s mellow finger-picked guitar melodies, gently reassuring vocals, and bittersweet deliveries brought to the fore. Listeners will also be able to relax amidst the soft clouds of comforting background singing by ace guests Jennifer Warnes, J.D. Souther, and Peter Asher.
With the title reflecting the singer’s answer to his then-wife, Carly Simon, Dad Loves His Work remains a statement of certainty and priority that Taylor invests with devastating poignancy, physiological soulfulness, and universal pathos. Balancing the biting edginess and forlorn despair with equal parts self-deprecating humor and rapier wit, Taylor’s songwriting on such nuggets as “Hard Times,” “Hour That the Morning Comes,” and charged “Stand and Fight” is among the best of his career.
No surprise, then, that Taylor wasn’t only looking at and reflecting upon his own life, but that of his relationship with his own father and ancestors. The emotional repercussions involved with such looming themes trickle through the harmony-laden music, spurred by the vocalist’s trademark acoustic guitar, shivering harmonicas, Rhodes pianos, myriad percussive devices, and tasteful synthesizer passages.
Taylor’s definitive duet with Souther on “Her Town Too” bridged both the pop and adult-contemporary charts, catapulting Dad Loves His Work in the Top Ten and past sales of one million copies. Similarly, Taylor expands his horizons on the politically motivated “Sugar Trade,” co-written by Jimmy Buffett.
Mobile Fidelity’s collectible audiophile 180g LP brings you into Taylor’s private world with unparalleled intensity and extreme closeness. Taylor feels every word he sings on this record, and now, thanks to meticulous remastering efforts, his expressiveness and sensitivity coming through via unencumbered transparency and dynamic acoustics. This edition of Dad Loves His Work is not to be missed!
"Mobile Fidelity's mastering hits the sonic nail on the head tonally, dynamically and spatially so if this is one of your Taylor faves—and it has its fans—you will be happy with this reissue." - Michael Fremer, Music 8/10, Sound 9/10

MARSHALL CRENSHAW - 180 GRAM MFSL NUMBERED FACTORY SEALED LP
Numbered, Special Limited Edition of 3000 copies! Half-Speed Mastered from Original Master Tapes!
Bored with his role as John Lennon in the musical Beatlemania in February of 1980, Marshall Crenshaw decided to try his hand at songwriting. By August of that year, he was playing his songs at gigs around Manhattan with his drummer brother, Robert and bassist Chris Donato. After singer Robert Gordon recorded three of his tunes, Crenshaw was signed by Warner Brothers and this, his self titled debut album, was released in 1982. It was immediately lauded as a pop masterpiece and Crenshaw was recognized as a first-rate songwriter, singer and guitarist. Gems like "Someday, Someway," "She Can't Dance" and "Not for Me," all remain timeless classics that add up to one of the finest debuts of its day. Now here on Mobile Fidelity Numbered Limited Edition 180g Vinyl!

Men At Work Cargo Numbered MFSL Limited Edition LP
Numbered, Limited Edition! Pressed at RTI!
A New-Wave Touchstone: 1983 Sophomore Album Picks Up on Momentum of Band’s Debut
Contains Top 10 Hits “It’s A Mistake” and “Overkill”
Spectacular Sonics: Mastered on Mobile Fidelity’s World-Renowned Mastering System and Pressed at RTI
Men at Work already had an album in the Top Ten when the Australian ensemble released Cargo, which continued the momentum gained by its record-setting debut. As ambitious and even more diversified than its initial salvo, the 1983 effort firmly established the band as new-wave pioneers—a group whose goofy playfulness, sharp hooks, brass accents, and memorable choruses helped define the decade’s landscape. Any doubts about Men At Work’s quirky sensibility were promptly answered by the iconic cover art gracing this multi-platinum set.
Mastered on Mobile Fidelity’s world-renowned mastering system and pressed at RTI, this LP not only brings the artwork back into full-scale glory but also takes the enjoyably melodic pop-rock to new sonic heights courtesy of improved imaging, separation, and balance. Previously obscured details jump to the surface, and leader Colin Hay’s unique voice takes on life-like dimensions that hover between the speakers.
While remaining true to the approach that garnered them a Grammy Award for Best New Artist, Men at Work expands the creative palette on Cargo by giving guitars a more prominent role and increasing the rhythmic textures. With the sweeping ballad “Overkill” and politically savvy cynicism of “It’s a Mistake,” the band furthered their radio domination and extended their run of Top 10 singles. A third hit, “Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive,” cracked the Top 30. Well-tailored melodies and whimsical imagination definitely had a place in the public’s consciousness, and no group understood this more.
As the final album captured by the original lineup, Cargo remains an indelible piece of the 1980s audio terrain and a reminder of the era’s endless fun. Bolstered by lively saxophone solos, self-effacing humor, and instantly catchy refrains, the album is as good an excuse as any to turn on the stereo, sit down, forget your worries, and dance to leisurely pursuits so perfectly captured by this beloved group.

This didn't produce as many hits as many of his other albums, but I thought it was nearly as good, although it's more experimental in places. The most famous song is "Don't Come Around Here No More" with its sitars creating a slightly psychedellic angry rocker with a slow beat, that changes to a fast, harder one at the end.
Also, who could forget that weird Alice In Wonderland takeoff video? The more typical, Lynyrd Skynyrd styled, fun southern rocker "Rebels" was a hit that should've been bigger. "Make It Better (Forget About Me)" was an almost New Wave kind of fast, jumpy catchy song that also was a minor hit. The other songs are pretty good too, even if they're not what you'd expect from Tom.
The catchy, mid-tempo pop/rocker "Dogs On The Run" is another song that could've been on one of his earlier albums. Also there's a couple really good ballads here. The soft, emotional title track talks about southern life, and mention's Tom's mother, who died shortly before this album was made "Full Moon Fever" and everything afterwards has more of a middle-aged, less rocking, modern day Bob Dylan sound.
This is right in the middle of those periods. Southern Accents is strangely one of Petty`s best records, but with the least amount of hits coming out. "Southern Accents" is probably one of the most beautiful songs Tom Petty ever has made. It is a lonely and moody piano, expressing the purest thing in the musical world, just a man and his closest friend, his instrument. All the songs on the album has their own style, none are alike, and this makes "Southern Accents" Tom Petty`s most varied album ever. And one of his strongest.

SIMPLY RED - MEN AND WOMEN - OUT OF PRINT SINCE 1987 - WEA/WARNER BROTHERS RECORDS - PRESSED IN GERMANY - LONG OUT OF PRINT ISSUE AND TREMENDOUSLY RARE STILL SEALED.
FACTORY SEALED LP - analog vinyl pressing – the way music was meant to be heard. Fans of Sly Stone, Average White Band, Sade, and Swing Out Sister, to name a few, will all find something appealing about Simply Red's sophomore release, "Men And Women", originally released in 1987. After enjoying a worldwide smash and instant standard in the single "Holding Back The Years", the temptation to produce a clone had to be on the band's mind. That clone is "Maybe Someday...", but let's put that aside a moment.
Delightfully, the rest of the album finds the band confident, exploratory, and exuberant. Lyrically, Mick Hucknall has love on the mind. Specifically, the lustful kind. The working class Brit viewpoint, especially on matters of the heart, is still intact and at its zenith here. The band sounds incredible too. From horns, piano, synth, and hearty background vocal, these are just the right bandmates to match Hucknall's take-no-prisoners mood.
The songs : "The Right Thing", a fine eighties pop tune. "Infidelity", an ode to that cheating mood. "Let Me Have It All", hands-down funk exercise a la AWB and Sly. "Love Fire", touches elements of reggae and ska. "Move On Out" and "Shine", smooth soul with slinky minor chords.
The good news : there's not a dud in the bunch, and this import adds six more tracks to the original album.
The bad news : the US didn't take to "Men And Women" as this great work merited. "The Right Thing" scraped the top forty; the rest was virtually forgotten. It put Simply Red in the position of slicking it up way too far on their next release, "A New Flame". The reward was another #1 in the form of a tame Philly soul cover on a tame release.
Here, they weren't yet playing safe, the results are spectacular. I'm not big on giving anything 5 stars, but I have no reservations about how highly I recommend this to fans of true soul music.

10. Maybe Someday Simple Minds New Gold Dream: 81-82-83-84 UNIVERSAL RE-ISSUE OF THIS 1982 RELEASE |
Includes "New Gold Dream" & "Promised You A Miracle!"
New Gold Dream is the fifth album by the celebrated Caledonian rockers. Released in 1982, it is widely considered to be a turning point for the band, a bridge between their post punk roots and stadium-filling destiny, and gathered enormous critical acclaim as well as impressive sales. Listed in the estimable tome ‘1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die’ New Gold Dream was a discernible move toward a more a commercial sound and it entered the UK chart at number 3, yielding the hit singles Promised You a Miracle and Glittering Prize.
The latter track and the synth-heavy Someone Somewhere in Summertime in particular represented a shift towards undisguised pop and it’s also worth noting that Hunter and Hunted features a solo by Jazz keyboardist Herbie Hancock, a rare distinction for any rock/pop album.
"Every band or artist with a history has an album that's their holy grail," remarked lead singer Jim Kerr. "I suppose New Gold Dream was ours. It was a special time because we were really beginning to break through with that record, both commercially and critically. The people that liked that record connected with it in a special way. There was a depth to it: it created its own mythology. It stood out.”
The artwork caused quite stir due to its religious imagery, so much so that on the version released in Yugoslavia, the cross was removed. Jim Kerr reflected "[During the writing of the album] we often went for walks. Around Perth you find a lot of Celtic crosses, crosses that seem to spring up from the earth. We thought it was a very powerful symbol. They were in the ground which produced the water we drank, so why not?"

ABC'S LEXICON OF LOVE 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION LP
ABC's debut album, coming out in 1982 among a flurry of post-disco/Brit new wave acts, linked ABC with bands like Spandau Ballet, Human League, Culture Club, Kajagoogoo, Gary Numan, Scritti Politti and Howard Jones.
ABC's debut album combined the talents of the Sheffield, U.K.-based band, particularly lead singer Martin Fry, a fashion plate of a frontman with a Bryan Ferry fixation, and the inventive production style of former Buggles member Trevor Horn and his team of musicians, several of whom would go on to form the Art of Noise. Horn created dense tracks that merged synthesizer sounds, prominent beats, and swaths of strings and horns, their orchestrations courtesy of Anne Dudley, who would follow her work with the Art of Noise by becoming a prominent film composer, and who here underscored Fry's stylized romantic lyrics and dramatic, if affected, singing. The production style was dense and noisy, writes AllMusic, but frequently beautiful, and the group's emotional songs gave it a depth and coherence later Horn works, such as those of Yes ("Owner of a Lonely Heart") and Frankie Goes to Hollywood, would lack.
Fry and company used the sound to create moving dancefloor epics like "Many Happy Returns," which, like most of the album's tracks, deserved to be a hit single. (In the U.K., four were: "Tears Are Not Enough," "Poison Arrow," "The Look of Love," and "All of My Heart," the last three making the Top Ten; in the U.S., "The Look of Love" and "Poison Arrow" charted Top 40.)

SHAKIN STEVENS - THE TRACK YEARS - AVI RECORDS - 8713 ORIGINAL ISSUE FROM 1983 - the Popabilly crooner. Shakin' Steven's can truly claim the '80s, in chart terms, were his. Indeed he spent more time on the UK chart than any other artist during that decade, racking up no less than 27 top 30 hits of which four hit the top spot and a further seven breached the Top 5. He's sold in excess of a staggering seven million singles to date. A loyal, predominantly female fan base ensured 'Shaky's' success and it's one that puts him in with the Beatles and Elton John who can claim the same chart domination for the '60s and the '70s respectively - I went to ALBUM Universe and listened to clips from one of Shakin' Stevens' other collected works.
This ALBUM blew me out! His music is similar to that of Marshall Crenshaw, from the same the same period, early to mid-80s. But Shakin' Stevens was a REAL ROCKER. He was a chart-topper throughout the whole 80's in the UK, Australia, and most of Europe/Scandinavia. Never caught on in the States.
The music is consuming, energetic. His voice is expressive, engaging. He makes you wanna not only tap your feet, but clap your hands and bop around the room!!! Song after song!!! You, too, will be a-swayin' and a-SHAKIN'.... and a-singin' along.

the band, reaching number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100, which Chris Difford
attributed to the video for the song as much as the song itself A second song

Out of Print original FACTORY SEALED Analog LP out of print for decades.
analog vinyl pressing - the way music was meant to be heard. Out of Print forever!!
Detailed item info -
This is George Thorogood at his best, cookin' hot and heavy. It was made just before he broke onto the charts as a huge star, and the music here shows why he soared into national prominence. His youthful hormones combined perfectly with the emotional content of the blues, and what happened was a hot-rockin' disc. "I'm Wanted" gets your attention right away, and a bunch of good-time music follows on its heels, including a really blazing rendition of "House of Blue Lights." If you like George Thorogood, but you've listened to his big hits too many times and want something different but really good, this should fill the bill nicely. Up-tempo, feel-good, high-energy rock.

MICHAEL BOLTON - THE HUNGER - 1987 CBS/COLUMBIA RECORDS FC-40473 ISSUE LONG OUT OF PRINT AND COULD BE ONE OF A THE LAST SEALED COPIES LEFT IN THE WORLD - Michael Bolton's decision to put his powerful and soulful voice to its best commercial use. He had already proven himself a great rock singer with Blackjack as well as with his first two solo albums. Instead of beating the proverbial dead horse of the AOR spectrum, he chose to sing in a fashion that would earn him chart-topping singles and albums, Grammy nominations, and the freedom to explore other genres he had passion for. If he has chose to spin his wheels in the mainstream rock world, he never would have had the acclaim or opportunity to sing alongside such greats as Percy Sledge, Ray Charles, Patti LaBelle and Luciano Pavarotti.
Now, to this particular album. The songs shine with expert musicianship, compliments of the better part of the band Journey. Great melodic hooks and harmonies reign throughout. "That's What Love Is All About" is a pop lyrical masterpiece with a message that many people can relate with, and it is sung to absolute perfection. "The Hunger" is an album that has something for both Bolton's melodic rock and pop fan bases, and was a critical turning point in his highly successful and hard-earned career.
TRACKS ARE: HOT LOVE - WAIT ON LOVE - SITTIN ON THE DOCK OF THE DAY (OTIS REDDING CLASSIC COVER A STAND OUT TRACK) - GINA - THAT'S WHAT LOVE IS ALL ABOUT -

Out of Print forever!! The thing I liked most about Robert Palmer was his ability to be original and diverse.

One listen to this ALBUM and you can easily tell that you are listening to a one of a kind musical stylist. You have all of his big hits with the exclusion of "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On" and "Get It On (Bang A Gong)" (which appeared on "Addictions, Vol. 2" in 1992). "Addiction's Vol. 1" is the perfect collection. You have Robert Palmer the rock and roller on "Bad Case Of Loving You", "Addicted To Love", "Simply Irresistable" and "Some Like It Hot". You have Robert Palmer the World Music maestro on "Pride", "Woke Up Laughing" and "What's It Take?" You have Robert Palmer the new wave specialist on tracks "Looking For Clues", "Johnny & Mary" and "Style Kills". You have Robert Palmer the crooner on "Sweet Lies", "Some Guys Have All The Luck" and one of his most timeless pieces of work "Every Kinda People". Remember a sophisticated and admirable talent such as Robert Palmer. R.I.P. 1949-2003. Track Listings

ACTING VERY STRANGE - Acting very strange, indeed. This is far and away the most "fun" album anybody from Genesis ever did. Rutherford decided to let his hair down and have a ball, and his enjoyment shines through from the first note. This is not the mild-mannered upper-class Englishman we're familiar with. This is a Mike Rutherford who, knowing he can't sing to save his life, sings anyway with reckless abandon. The music is lively and toe-tapping, with hooks to grab the listener and not let go. If you're looking for the polish of Mike and the Mechanics, or the creativity of Genesis, you won't find it here. If you're looking for a great time and a lot of fun, you won't do any better.

BORN YESTERDAY 1986 ORIGINAL RELEASE - THIS LP IS STILL FACTORY SEALED WITH ORIGINAL MARKETING STICKERS STILL ATTACHED. THIS LP HAS A CUTOUT IN THE JACKET BUT OTHER THEN THAT YOU ARE RECEIVING THE ORIGINAL 1986 RELEASE OF THIS LP. In the mid 80's the Everly Bros. might have been thought just as another nostaglia act playing county fairs and trying to get by. BUT! Everly Bros. 50's and 60's records influenced every one from Bob Dylan to Beatles to each two part harmony after. They were beloved, but somewhat forgotten until Paul McCartney wrote a minor '84 hit for them, "Wings of a Nightengale". That led to this underappreciated classic, "Born Yesterday". Produced by Jeff Lynne of ELO, the songs include covers of contempory writers and bands such as Dire Straits, choice songs by the likes of Bob Dylan and new ones written by themselves. Song selections fit Don and Phil like a iron fist in a velvet glove. The harmonies of Everly Bros. now have an older, wistful, longing and it sounds achingly bittersweet. Early 45s /LPs/ have that joy of the new and there are plenty of greatest hits compliations of EB, but this is their shinging glory.. TRACKS: 1. Amanda Ruth
