THE AUDIOPHILE VINYL

STARTS WITH THE RARE OUT OF PRINT The James Gang Rides Again Numbered 2571 Limited 4000 PIECE Edition 180 GRAM MFSL LIMITED EDITION LP

The James Gang Rides Again on Numbered Limited Edition 180g LP from Mobile Fidelity!
Mastered From Original Master Tapes & Pressed at RTI!
Strictly Limited To 4000 Numbered Copies!

Led by future Eagle Joe Walsh, the James Gang establishes a power-trio template for all times on its 1970 sophomore album. Home to the top-down favorite "Funk #49," Rides Again sparks with a stylistic versatility, hard-rocking edge, and balladic vulnerability united by tight-knit musicianship. The quartet's penchant for crunch-laden boogies and focused jamming pours out on the first half of the record before the band pulls its trick bag out on the second half and injects keyboards into the stylistically varied mix. From start to finish, Rides Again is a '70s rock classic – and, now, one that at last features first-rate sonics to match the music.

Recorded at the then-brand-new Record Plant, the songs sound more authoritative and fun than ever before on Mobile Fidelity's restored analog pressing. Mastered from the original analog tapes, pressed at RTI, and strictly limited to 4000 numbered copies, this 180g LP teems with involving textures, details, and depth hidden from view on prior pressings. The dimensional body and weight of the guitars, probing low-end of Dale Peters' bass lines, reedy timbre of Walsh's singing, and pacing of the crisp percussive cues are all enhanced. Increased separation between the instruments and airier, more open soundstaging adds to the record's toe-tapping fun and seemingly unlimited groove quotient.

Walsh, without question, remains the biggest draw on Rides Again. The FM radio staple "Funk #49" – kick-started by the irresistible declaration "I sleep all day, out all night/I know where you're goin'" – continues to be identified by many as a Walsh solo tune. Yet it, as well as the sexual thrust of the head-bobbing "Woman" and proto-metal slash of the multi-part "The Bomber," fully represents the pure chemistry and locomotive momentum of the James Gang. With Walsh's Echoplex-equipped slide guitar making psychedelic- and blues-leaning comments, his mates pick up on the direction and answer with melodic responses.

Throughout the record, the trio's synergy clicks at every turn. Such interplay extends to the more diverse, country-tinged fare on Side B. Streaked with throaty organ passages and reflective moods, sincere midtempo ballads like "Tend My Garden" tease with rave-up structures and express a softer side of the group. Similarly, the acoustic-based "Garden Gate" and Jack Nitzsche-orchestrated "Ashes the Rain and I" showcase sincerity and diversity suggesting the James Gang prepared to defy limitations afforded most of its peers.

Yet Walsh's departure in 1971 changed the group's fortunes – and, by extension, upped the value of Rides Again, which survives as a near-flawless example of earnest '70s rock and organic playing.

200g Vinyl Pressed At Quality Record Pressings!
Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio From Original Analog Tape!

The 10 best songs from 1969's Yer' Album, 1970's Rides Again and 1971's Thirds. The James Gang, formed in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1966, may be best known as the band that was first to feature guitarist/vocalist Joe Walsh before his rise to stardom as a solo musician and a member of the Eagles.

The James Gang performed with a stylistic versatility, hard-rocking edge and ultra-sharp musicianship. Their power-trio template has never sounded fiercer than on this Analogue Productions 200-gram reissue. Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio, pressed at Quality Record Pressings — makers of the world's finest-sounding LPs — and packaged in a tip-on heavyweight jacket from Stoughton Printing, this sterling reissue looks as great as it sounds.

You'll hear James Gang favorites including the FM radio staple "Funk #49," - kick-started by the outspoken declaration "I sleep all day, out all night/I know where you're goin'" - the sexual thrust of the head-bobbing "Woman," and proto-metal slash of the multi-part "The Bomber." The rest of the track list is just as steeped in psychedelic-and-blues-leaning discourse. "Midnight Man," "Stop," "Yadig?" "Take A Look Around," "Funk #48," "Walk Away" and the Jack Nitzsche-orchestrated "Ashes the Rain and I" are rounded out by Walsh's Echoplex-equipped slide guitar, and his trio-mates, band founder Jim Fox on drums, piano and vocals, and bassist Tom Kriss, later replaced by Dale Peters.

The James Gang burning on stage with the audience getting higher and higher. Listen — this is American music — strong, inventive and clean.

There aren’t too many legends like guitar hero Joe Walsh. From his midwest beginnings with The James Gang, he racked up enough significant sales and airplay to warrant his very own massive solo career, then performing later with Barnstorm and then three decades plus with The Eagles. Again, there aren’t too many like Joe Walsh.

As if a whirlwind tour and unbelievable album success with The Eagles’ Hotel California weren’t enough for this spirited guitarist, Joe Walsh went back into the studio in 1978 and created his own top chart platter But Seriously, Folks.

Filled with eight unprecedented Joe Walsh rockers, But Seriously, Folks was truly one of his most enduring classics thanks to the eight minute burner Life’s Been Good. This song will forever be associated with the seventies rock superstar lifestyle binge as it was also a featured song in the rock movie soundtrack extravaganza FM.

Even more time tested tracks like the blues rocker At The Station, AOR classics Over And Over and Tomorrow plus the brilliant and melodic Indian Summer made this the album of choice for many rock radio programmers for over a year upon its initial release.

As a first installment in Friday Music's Joe Walsh 180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl Series, they present his career masterwork But Seriously, Folks... in a first time ever high quality vinyl release. Mastered from the original Asylum Records tapes by Joe Reagoso (Jeff Beck/ Deep Purple/Yes) at Friday Music Studios with Kevin Gray, this brilliant album will be a much welcomed and anticipated audiophile dream release.

For this presentation, Friday Music also includes the rare original gatefold artwork from this masterpiece. Also included is a poly bag to protect your album cover and poly lined inner sleeve to help keep your vinyl in mint shape.
