BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle (Mobile Fidelity Numbered Edition) - LP - 180g MoFi 'SuperVinyl' [APR]

LP - Limited Mobile Fidelity Edition 180g MoFi 'SuperVinyl'. Mastered on Mobile Fidelity’s Renowned Mastering System and Strictly Limited to 7,500 Numbered Copies: UltraDisc One-Step 180g 33PM LP Set Presents 1973 Album in Audiophile Sound. 

Released only eight months after his exhilarating debut, Bruce Springsteen’s The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle contains rousing dispatches from the boardwalk, the street, the beach, and the bedroom. It explodes with energy, dares to dream, teases with humor, crackles with tragedy, clings to hope, and overflows with discovery, youthfulness, and personality. The songs feature an unforgettable cast of characters illuminated by vivid color, breathtaking detail, and poetic action. Musically, the heartfelt 1973 record is inhabited by cinematic arrangements steeped in rock ‘n’ roll, soul, jazz, and R&B. It finds the New Jersey native looking beyond the parameters of his preceding record and seeking to move on from environments he knows well by rushing headlong toward unknown territories, adventures, and people. Underpinned by the singer-guitarist’s ambitious poetic enterprise and will to succeed, The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle is the album on which Springsteen becomes the Boss.

Mobile Fidelity UltraDisc One-Step Process:
Instead of utilizing the industry-standard three-step lacquer process, UltraDisc One-Step (UD1S) uses only one step and bypasses two processes of generational loss. In addition to revealing extra musical detail and dynamics otherwise lost due to the standard copying process, the UD1S technique produces a final LP with the lowest noise floor possible today.

Mastered on Mobile Fidelity’s renowned mastering system, pressed at RTI on MoFi SuperVinyl, and strictly limited to 7,500 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity’s UltraDisc One-Step 180g 33RPM LP set is the definitive-sounding version of Springsteen’s sophomore record. Benefitting from SuperVinyl’s nearly non-existent noise floor, superb groove definition, and dead-quiet surfaces, The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle now plays with a clarity, energy, presence, and openness that compliment the expressiveness, dynamics, and scope of the seven restless compositions that comprise a work Rolling Stone ranked the 345th Greatest Album of All Time.
