1ST WE START WITH Roy Orbison The All-Time Greatest Hits Of Roy Orbison Numbered 6662 Limited Edition 24 KARAT Gold CD AND THIS CD ALONE CAN SELL FOR MORE THEN THIS WHOLE SET ALONE.
After much success (and a little luck) with their Little Richard hits packages, MoFi next visited the Sony vaults to identify and audition the original masters of another rock pioneer. This famous Roy Orbison collection had originally been compiled by Monument Records in 1972 and has stayed in print ever since. Permission to bring the first-generation masters to California for direct transferring was eventually granted (most for the first time*). We are very pleased to say that the resulting MoFi Gold CD (and LP version) now set the standard in the mastering of these historic songs.
Before being wooed away by the old MGM Records label, Orbison experienced an astonishing run for Monument, placing fifteen singles (all included here) in the Top 100 on the pop and country charts.
*Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab released Roy Orbison Sings Lonely And Blue on gold CD in 1998, utilizing the same masters that were utilized here for “Only The Lonely”, “Blue Angel” and “I’m Hurtin”.

Volume 1 Numbered Limited Edition AUDIOPHILE 24 KARAT GOLD COLLECTORS NUMBERED 2339 CD
Each OF THESE CDS WERE pressed directly from the original studio master session tapes ; the purest source of musical information and engineered to produce the finest CD sound quality available.
Every compact disc delivers the music to you with all the depth, dynamics, and richness of the live recording session. We invite you to hear the three-dimensional quality of the music just as the artist intended for it to sound.
The proprietary mastering technology extracts and transparently stores more musical information from the original master tapes than any other method in existence.
For the discriminating listener, the results include: a wider range of frequencies, increased depth and room dimension cues, clarity, and separation of instruments.
The technology substantially decreases characteristics such as hardness and glare bringing the sound of CD even closer to the warmth and openess of analogue.
Why Buy 24K Gold CDs? Aluminum particles are rough, resulting in pits and irregularities on the playing surface. Gold particles are uniform and have a constant rate of reflection giving an even, reproductive sound quality. Also, 24K Gold CDs will not oxidize or tarnish and will last for years longer than traditional aluminum CDs

Transcendent Sonics That Show Off Your System: Volume
Includes Some of Audiophile Label’s Finest-Sounding Work
Mobile Fidelity releases have long been renowned for
transparent and transcendent sonics. Since its advent more than three decades
ago, the label has set the standard for audiophile-grade sound quality—and
continues to do so with definitive editions of the best records from history’s
most legendary artists. For years, listeners have wondered what it would be
like to experience some of the imprint’s best-sounding work on a compilation
that shows off its trademark qualities, lifelike production, and uncompromising
standards. Now, for the first time in the label’s history, Mobile Fidelity has
made such a disc available to the public.
Spanning iconic music made over three different decades and mastered
from the original master tapes, the Mobile Fidelity Gold Collection Volume 1
Gold CD is a state-of-the-art jukebox featuring pop, rock, vocal, folk, prog
rock, new wave, and hard rock classics in supreme sound. Ideal for audiophiles
as well as newcomers curious about Mobile Fidelity’s history and reputation,
the nine-track compendium doubles as both an absorbing mix tape and
demonstration disc. Like all Mobile Fidelity releases, it is an extremely
collectable, numbered-edition title.
Showcasing Mobile Fidelity’s masterful way with presenting
delicate vocalists, the collection includes Natalie Merchant’s poignant “River”
(a heartfelt tribute to late actor River Phoenix) and Linda Ronstadt’s stirring
cover of Neil Young’s “Like a Rose.” Both cuts tout lifelike immediacy,
tremendous tonal balances, and realistic decay. Similarly, Marc Cohn’s Top Ten
single “Walking In Memphis”—still played on hundreds of radio stations
today—sends chills down the spine, with even the gauge of his acoustic guitar
strings discernible from the mix. Pull up a chair and sit back in utter
amazement.
A surfeit of other familiar, high-charting fare is included.
Chicago’s soaring smash “You’re the Inspiration”—a favorite largely responsible
for producer Humberto Garcia receiving a Grammy for Best Engineered Recording,
Non-Classical—joins Curtis Mayfield’s upbeat anthem “Move On Up,” the Cars’
fun-loving “Shake It Up,” and Yes’ epic “Roundabout” as hits rendered with
extraordinary detail and rich tonality.
Looking to reveal your system’s greatest strengths? Replete
with music that will help your stereo come alive with realistic images, throw
huge soundstages, and breathe with palpable air, Mobile Fidelity Gold
Collection Volume 1 defines what the high end is all about: Engaging, masterful
performances rendered in exquisite sound that brings you to the event and
closer to your favorite artists.

• Numbered Limited Edition Gold CDSANTANA AUDIOPHILE - SELF TITLED SANTANA COLLECTORS ORIGINAL MFSL 24 KARAT GOLD CD WITH REPLICA GATEFOLD JACKET PACKAGING. ORIGINAL OUT OF PRINT 2007 MFSL NUMBERED 7054 24 KARAT GOLD LIMITED EDITION NUMBERED CD. Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 149/500! This is Santana's first record on Numbered Limited Edition Gold CD from Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs. Originally released the same month as their incendiary set at Woodstock, this impressive debut for Columbia kick-started a Hall of Fame legacy that lasts still today. Establishing one of the most instantly recognizable sounds in rock; Carlos’ signature tone and phrasing coupled with Afro-Cuban percussion virtually launched Latin-Rock fusion. Both AM and FM airwaves were scorched in the ensuing months with their charted singles Evil Ways (#9) and Jingo (#93) plus Soul Sacrifice, a favorite after it’s featured spot in the Woodstock movie and soundtrack. "The first two times Santana tried to record their debut, they scrapped the tapes. But the third time, they came up with Santana, which combined Latin rhythms with jazz-inspired improvisation, hard-rock guitar and lyrical, B.B. King-style blues — and even had a hit single, "Evil Ways." Back then, a lot of Carlos Santana's guitar playing was fueled by psychedelic drugs. "I don't recommend it to anybody and everybody," Santana told Rolling Stone in 2000. "Yet for me, I feel it did wonders. It made me aware of splendor and rapture." For millions of people, Santana did the same thing." - rollingstone Features: • Limited Edition • Individually Numbered Japanese Mini-LP Sleeve • 24 Karat Gold - Ultradisc II Selections: 1.

Soul Sacrifice MFSL SEALED - Allman Brothers - The Allman Brothers Band Idlewild South Numbered 5720 Limited Edition 24 KARAT GOLD AUDIOPHILE CD - The Allman Brothers Band Idlewild South Numbered Limited Edition 24 KARAT GOLD AUDIOPHILE CD Out of Print! Rolling Stone 2015 Readers' Poll: The 10 Best Jam Bands: The Allman Brothers Rated 2nd! The sophomore release from America's sovereign Southern rock band, the Allman Brothers Idlewild South is easily their greatest studio album. Unlike the band's labyrinthine live shows, which are distinguished by their immense, walloping swamp rock, this album focuses on the considerable songwriting capabilities of Gregg Allman and Dicky Betts. Showcasing the original lineup, before multiple tragedies began taking their toll on the band; the lightning slide guitar of Duane Allman, the vocals and Hammond B-3 of his brother Greg Allman, lead guitarist Dickey Betts, bassist Berry Oakley, and the thunderous drum tandem of Butch Trucks and Jaimoe Johanson this album lays bare their talent for weaving disparate but distinctly Southern elements of rock, gospel, soul, jazz, and R&B into a cohesive and original whole. The legendary Tom Dowd oversaw these sessions, which resulted in the Bible-thumping "Revival," the smash hit "Midnight Rider," the dirty blues of "Don't Keep Me Wonderin'," the soul-soothing "Please Call Home," and "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed," which would go on to become the penultimate Allman Brothers' concert war-horse. "Guitars, bass, and keyboards have terrific textures, vocals have a fine clarity, and the two drum kits snap with a satisfying sense of weight." - Wayne Garcia, TAS February 2008 "Idlewild South is an unqualified sonic success. Those qualities included great sound staging and being largely free of the solid-state hardness typifying many recordings of this generation. Upper octaves are a little softened but cymbals sound like cymbals, not mangled pieces of metal... Overall, Idlewild South is fairly transparent with a great feeling of liveness." - Myles B. Astor, Positive-Feedback, Issue 49 Features: • Remastered on 24K Gold CD • Limited Edition • Numbered Pressings Selections: 1. Revival 2. Don't Keep Me Wonderin' 3. Midnight Rider 4.
