Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MFSL, or "MoFi") is a company that produces audiophile releases of classic CDs and vinyl records.
Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab releases are highly desirable due to their attention to detail concerning the audio mastering process....

' Another great and a 'REALLY MUST HAVE' release...
this music is part of The Human History'

This is a true Collector’s find for those individuals who want to own the finest and rarest pieces of musical history. It is similar to owning the artist’s own Rare Gold Record Album. MFSL only made 8 UHQR albums, all were limited to 5000 pressings. This UHQR album is an audiophile collectors dream come true. They didn’t get any better than this. This album simply gives you the feeling of being in the studio with the artist. This recording is mastered from the Original Session Tapes and cut at half speed on virgin vinyl. The half speed process gave the cutting head twice as much time to cut the fine details into the album vinyl. This album has been out of print for the last 24 years. These Out of Print gems are the Ferrari of the audiophile market. This copy sold for $50 in 1982 when I purchased it. I was offered $200 for it on my way out of the store because it was the last one. Certain MFSL albums have gone up 30 to 40 times the original value. The future of these collectibles is so exciting because each piece is a sonic work of art that will never be reproduced using this process again.

PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND, Rolling Stones - Their Satanic Majesties Request, Cream - Disraeli Gears, Who - Sell Out, Traffic - Dear Mr. Fantasy (записан в декабре 67) и конечно - The Moody Blues с их новаторским, концептуальным альбомом Days Of Future Passed.

Dr. Ebbetts specializes in releasing digital remasterings from long-deleted and hard-to-obtain vinyl records, particularly issues from the audiophile Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs (MFSL) label. Although the Ebbetts catalogue has many artists, it is most known for Beatles CDs transferred from the best quality MFSL releases, US releases and mono vinyl sources. While lables like Millenium, BEAT, Mirror Spock and Fabulous Sound Labs (FSL) also issue 'needle drops' of Beatles vinyl, Dr. Ebbetts is regarded by many audiophiles as being the highest quality. For those interested in the technical, one source close to the Dr says that Ebbetts says that he uses no noise reduction and that there's no magic formula...just a good ear and patience.

Don McLean – American Pie - MFSL (1998)
EAC image file WAV | 259 MB | Genre: Rock
(All covers and lyrics included. Scans at 300 ppi)

"American Pie" is an eight-and-a-half minute long classic rock song about "the day the music died". Recorded in 1971 and released that year on the album of the same name, it was a number-one U.S. hit in 1972. It offers an allusive history of rock and roll, starting with the deaths of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J. P. Richardson, Jr. (a.k.a. The Big Bopper) in a plane crash in 1959. The song's lyrics remain the subject of much debate. Although Don McLean dedicated the American Pie album to Buddy Holly, none of the singers in the plane crash are identified by name in the song itself. Other famous performers are also alluded to with cryptically coded identifications, which led to many overly-analyzed discussions among both music lovers and the press... all of this hubbub encouraged by McLean's canny lifelong refusal to explain the lyrics.

Including: Piano Man, Turnstiles, The Stranger, 52nd Street, Glass Houses, The Nylon Curtain

The key components to every great prog-rock album comprise memorable guitar riffs, punchy immediacy that draws you into the song, ample rhythmic kick, and the imaginative capacity to transport the listener to a place well beyond the confines of reality. Yes’ The Yes Album features all of these rare qualities and more, the 1971 record as significant for saving the band’s career as well as for establishing new parameters in virtuosic technicality and skilled composition. The first set recorded with guitarist Steve Howe, it remains Yes’ grandest achievement and claims a musical vision the British quintet’s contemporaries struggled to match...

Despite the departure of organist Matthew Fisher, Procol Harum survived, and this album is ample proof. Fisher was one of the prime architects of the Harum sound, and his work on such classics as "Shine on Brightly" and, of course, "Whiter Shade of Pale" underline that. Procol continued as a four-piece, and it was indeed a good thing that they decided not to replace Fisher...

The fourth album by Procol Harum was released as the band was in the midst of a significant shift. With the departure of organist Matthew Fisher, guitarist Robin Trower stepped more to the fore. The two-keyboard approach was still being utilized, with singer Gary Brooker's piano being joined on some selections by the organ playing of multi-instrumentalist Chris Copping. However, the stately grandeur that had been previously applied with grace and subtlety gave way to a band that rocked much harder...

Founded in 1957 by John McNally (guitar/vocals), the Searchers were originally one of thousands of skiffle groups formed in the wake of Lonnie Donegan’s success with “Rock Island Line”. The Searchers’ immediate competitors included bands such as the Wreckers and the Confederates, both led by Michael Pender (guitar, vocals), and the Martinis, led by Tony Jackson (guitar/vocals). By 1959, McNally and Pender were working together as a duet; later in the year, Jackson joined as the lead vocalist. After drummer Norman McGarry left the Searchers he was replaced by Chris Crummy, who quickly renamed himself Chris Curtis. Other changes were in the works as Jackson built and learned to play a customized bass guitar. Learning his new job on the four-stringed instrument proved too difficult to permit him to continue singing lead, and McNally and Pender brought in a fifth member, Johnny Sandon (born Billy Beck). Johnny Sandon & the Searchers lasted from 1960 through February of 1962, and were extremely popular on the dance hall and club circuit in Liverpool.
