Product Description
Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed at RTI, Mobile Fidelity's 180g LP of this masterpiece broadens the live-in-the-studio intimacy and opens up the midrange, highs, and lows of Burnett's fabulously de-congested mix. Made with few overdubs or effects, King of America relishes organic approaches and faithful tones as well as a vast spaciousness and balance not always evident on Costello's efforts with the attractions. Finally, Mobile Fidelity transports the listener to the semicircle of players that surrounded Costello in the studio, and highlights the benefits of the center-of-the-production microphone technique employed on the singer's voice and guitar playing.
Customer Reviews
My favourite album of all time. Hightlights include: Indoor fireworks, I'll wear it proudly, American without tears, and Sleep of the just. A remarkable album, basically the first album I am aware of that is simultaneously a divorce AND remarriage album - all the pain of his divorce is here, but then the love and hope of his new relationship with Cait O'Riordan, and finally, a feeling of resignation and reconciliation with the love who (apparently, from the lyrics) scorned him. This is a landmark album from Elvis Costello, and (apart from the first 4 songs which are a bit boring) much more than just a collection of songs.
