FOURPLAY - Elixir (30th Anniversary Edition) - Hybrid SACD [OCT 31]

Limited 30th Anniversary Edition Hybrid SACD Multi-channel (with new 5.1 mix) [2025 Reissue].  

The third album from Fourplay (Lee Ritenour, Nathan East, Bob James, and Harvey Mason) is a lightly sauteed jazz offering, low-key and relaxed, bringing a sublime sense of form and interplay to the contemporary jazz genre. 

The follow-up to the band's gold-certified first two albums - 1991's Fourplay and 1993's Between The Sheets - 1995's star-studded Elixir featured vocal cameos from Phil Collins ('Why Can't It Wait Till Morning') together with Patti Austin and Peabo Bryson, who duetted on a fabulous remakeEvo of Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway's classic soul hit, 'The Closer I Get To You.' Other highlights include the instrumentals 'Play Lady Play,' 'Magic Carpet Ride', and the simmering title track, which all highlight the band's tasteful alchemy. Elixir has sold over 500,000 copies in the United States and was certified gold by the RIAA.

The 30th anniversary edition of 'Elixir' is newly remastered from the original tapes. Released by evosound on 180g One Step Pressing Transparent Double Black Vinyl LP, SACD Hybrid Multi-channel (with new 5.1 mix) and Dolby Atmos on digital.
