A 45-RPM record is sonically superior to a 33 1/3 variety because of a 35 percent reduction of groove curvature compared to a 33 1/3 cut.. It means that while you can't fit as much music into a 45, the undukations of the groove that your cartridge has to track are stretched over a longer distance. For these reissues, the music was displaced onto four sides, meaning each side contains about 10 minutes of music.This is the ultimate reissues. The only way you'll get closer to this classic music is to listen to the master tapes or have been in the studio with the artist originally during the actual session. Billy Joel SONGS IN THE ATTIC Numbered Limited Edition 45rpm 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION 2 LP SETNumbered 1032, Limited Edition 180g 45rpm Vinyl!Mastered From Original Master Tapes! Pressed at RTI!This 1981 live album finds Joel adding warmth to ballads and punch and kick to rockers. Mobile Fidelity's version gives the listener a dead-center seat and wonderful sonic perspective! The album is an ideal summation of Joel’s early period material, enhanced by an accomplished band in a concert setting.Great live albums often function as documents of a performers stinting onstage abilities, stopgaps between studio albums, introductions to a musicians earlier work, and/or opportunities for familiar material to be showcased in superior ways. Songs In the Attic serves all of these purposes and more. As Billy Joel’s first live album, it’s still his best, punctuated by dynamic renditions of favorites and deep cuts, and augmented by a tested band in sync with the pianist.A vital component of Mobile Fidelity’s Billy Joel catalog restoration series, Songs In the Attic is mastered from the original master tapes and pressed on 180g LP at RTI. The resulting presentation effortlessly outshines that heard on all previous editions of this 1981 set. Joel’s piano possesses fuller body and lifelike resonance. His veteran groups contributions emerge with newfound clarity, dynamics, decay, and extension. Balances are supreme, and shades and colors blend, amplifying richness and presence.On the heels of three multi-platinum albums and a commercial breakthrough, Joel released Songs In the Attic to both tide fans over until 1982s The Nylon Curtain as well to feature material in a looser, warmer setting. The record highlights not only the singer’s consistency and knack for indelible melodies, but savvy live techniques. Upbeat tunes such as Everybody Loves You Now receive a more fleshed-out treatment that yields added punch and swagger, while balladic numbers like I’ve Loved These Days take on a cozy warmth akin to the feeling of putting on a sweater on a cool fall day.Songs In the Attic also bridged the gap for listeners for whom Joel was then a new entity, as many didnt come to his music until The Stranger. Hence, tracks like Captain Jack and The Ballad of Billy the Kid from Piano Man, get a fresh identity, particularly courtesy of a backing band that, by then, had been gigging with Joel for years. No wonder that, unlike a majority of live records, Songs In the Attic yielded two Top 40 pop hits: Say Goodbye to Hollywood and She’s Got a Way. No matter from what angle it’s viewed, the set stands as one of the most important and enjoyable live records ever released.Features:Numbered, Limited Edition45rpm Speed Edition2LP SetProduction and Mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound LabSpecially Plated and Pressed on 180 grams of High Definition VinylPressed at RTISpecial Static Free - Dust Free Inner SleeveHeavy Duty Protective PackagingMastered from the Original Master Tapes Selections:1.
