MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LAB 180g AUDIOPHILE 45RPM BLACK VINYL 2xLP. LTD EDITION, NUMBERED.
"50th Anniversary Edition of 1975 Album Features Audiophile Sound: Mobile Fidelity's 180g 45RPM 2LP Set Plays with Revealing Clarity and Broad Dynamics Heart's breakthrough debut, Dreamboat Annie, has often been framed in the context of a female-led band successfully matching the moves of it's male counterparts during an era when women weren't associated with rocking out - particularly on a mainstream level. While that take is true - Ann and Nancy Wilson practically stood alone amid a commercial age dominated by testosterone - it undersells the appeal, scope, and craftsmanship of an album that deserves to be revered strictly because of it's merit, not because of the gender of the group's principal members. Fueled by alluring arrangements that balance electric and acoustic elements, Dreamboat Annie went platinum and spawned three hit singles within a year of it's release. It all foreshadowed a Hall of Fame career guided by the Wilson sisters' toughness and determination. Mastered at MoFi's in-house studio, housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing in California, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP set puts the record's artistic significance in proper perspective. Presented in definitive sound, it invites you to hear with stellar clarity the diverse architecture, passionate playing, and fervent emotions that help make Dreamboat Annie an all-time classic. This 50th anniversary edition marks the first time Heart's opening salvo has been available in audiophile quality on vinyl in more than four decades. Drop the needle and experience the textures of the guitars, full range of Ann Wilson's voice, spacious backdrops, and rhythmic momentum free of veiled tones and artificial ceilings."
