FLEETWOOD MAC - Tango in the Night (MFSL Numbered Edition) - Hybrid SACD [ETA DATE TBC]

SACD - Limited & Numbered Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab Edition Hybrid SACD. Sourced from the Original Analog Tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD Capture the Perfectionist Details, Play with Extraordinary Openness.

The perfectionism involved in crafting Fleetwood Mac’s Tango in the Night reached a level of intensity experienced by few artists before or since. Largely constructed from laborious methods that involved recording at half speed to achieve the desired sonics and tonal nuances, piecing together verses and choruses to attain seamless synchronicity, and band member Lindsey Buckingham using a Fairlight CMI synthesizer/workstation in visionary ways, the songs pair electronic and acoustic elements to radiant effect. The painstaking efforts paid off. Recorded over the span of 18 months, the triple-platinum album — as much a universe of sound as it is a record — spawned four hit singles and put Fleetwood Mac back at the centre of mainstream conversation.

Sourced from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP set and hybrid SACD of Tango in the Night present the 1987 record in audiophile sound for the first time. Everything co-producers Buckingham and Richard Dashut sought to instill in the music — the exacting tones, gauzy textures, plush atmospherics, shifted harmonics, unique pitches, pristine acoustics, biting rhythms — can now be heard with elevated accuracy, range, depth, and detail. These collectible reissues convey the sonic spectrum in exhaustive manners that go beyond prior editions by playing with a combination of transparency, imaging, openness, and dynamics that provides uncanny insight into the meticulously layered vocal and instrumental tracks. Equally important, they amplify your emotional connection to the elaborate melodies, contagious hooks, and airy highs that account for the album’s ageless brilliance.
