MILES DAVIS INTRODUCING Miles Davis: The clairvoyant that looked beyond bebop and molded music into a more refined, cooler form. The visionary trumpeter whose spacious, linear balladic phrasing via the Harmon mute led to bluesy hard bop. The astute improviser that devised expressive counterpoints on top of harmonic frameworks. The painter that splashed exotic colors amidst classical, Spanish, and folk canvasses. The fusion composer determined to push the outer limits of composition. A maestro whose watershed albums transcend definition, Davis is jazz. Mobile Fidelity reamins humbled to issue end-all-be-all-definitive editions of his dominant artworks. T H E U LT I M AT E A N A L O G E X P E R I E N C E LESS IS MORE. Instead of utilizing the industry-standard three-step lacquer process, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab’s new ULTRADISC ONE-STEP (UD1S) uses only one step, bypassing two processes of copying and generation loss. While three-step processing is designed for optimum yield and efficiency, UD1S is about the ultimate in sound quality. ULTRADISC ONE-STEP products are material-, time-, and labor-intensive productions. Kind of Blue Bitches Brew On the Corner E.S.P. A very limited number of vinyl LPs are made from each pristine, fragile UD1S stamper— called a convert. Such exclusivity guarantees that every pressing serves as an immaculate replica of the lacquer sourced directly from the original master tape. MFSL engineers spend a much longer time cutting an ULTRADISC ONE-STEP project than they do with standard three-step records. Listeners will hear immediate sonic benefits that include significantly increased transparency, remarkably quicker transients, and supremely delicate microdynamics. These are the quietest vinyl pressings anyone has ever heard. ULTRADISC ONE-STEP LPs from Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab: The ultimate listening experience. Nefertiti • Two of the three standard pressing steps are eliminated • No positive or negative stamper pulled off convert • First-generation convert formed into record stamper LACQUER A Tribute to Jack Johnson Filles de Kilimanjaro Miles in the Sky Sketches of Spain In a Silent Way ‘Round About Midnight My Funny Valentine Sorcerer ORIGINAL MASTER RECORDING SANTANA Abraxas (UD1S 001) FRANK SINATRA What makes a legend? When it comes to Frank Sinatra, everything. The debonair look. The cool attitude. The enviable disposition. The fact that most men wanted to be him and most women wanted him. But above all, that rich sonorous voice. Sinatra’s definitive baritone remains the de facto reference. His peerless vocal abilities— phrasing, tempo, timing, control, timbre, emotion—pour from his songs, the interpretations flush with irresistible persuasion, uncompromised sincerity, universal pathos, and heartbreaking sensitivity. Mobile Fidelity is honored to present many of the Chairman’s very finest albums in the highestpossible sonic quality. Sinatra’s Swingin’ Session!!!
