EAGLES – On The Border [Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab SACD Numbered] (2022) *HQ*

Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MoFi), a leading company delivering the foremost audio technology specializing in high-quality reissues of key albums, just released another EAGLES’ iconic ‘70s studio album on the imprint’s UltraDisc Super Audio CD (SACD) format, for many, the best-sounding in the world.
Now it’s time for Eagles’ third album ”On The Border”. Mastered from the original analog Master Tapes for exquisite sound, this Mobile Fidelity’s Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD reveals the crucial link between Bill Szymczyk’s raw production and the band’s harder-edged songs.
With its name indicative of the music’s boundary-testing diversity and Southwestern inspiration, ‘On The Border’ finds the Eagles leaving everything on the table and embracing a rockier edge that takes the band out of more relaxed territory and establishes it as a group that knows how — and wants — to rock.
This now Double-Platinum album marks the debut of guitarist Don Felder who brings ‘electricity’ to Eagles, featuring the hits ‘Already Gone,’ ‘James Dean,’ and ‘Best of My Love’…

DON FELDER – Airborne [Wounded Bird Records remastered reissue] out of print

As requested, here’s the rare, now out of print reissue of DON FELDER first solo album ”Airborne”. After being The Eagles member, the man who co-wrote the timeless song “Hotel California” released this solo debut LP in 1983 with the help of talented friends like Tris Imboden, the late Carlos Vega, Jeff Lorber, Kenny Loggins, Nathan East, etc.
I laugh out loud when I read ”Airborne” reviews with critics, at the time, saying something like this: “Felder seems to have forgotten the harmonies and ringing arpeggios that made The Eagles famous in favor to a commercial sheen production and radio-oriented rock”… Welcome! I celebrate that.
It was 1983, and ”Airborne” delivers that classic AOR sound from the era. There’s synths, funky bass lines, drums with reverb, and of course Felder’s signature guitar and solid vocals. Felder was aiming for a recording artist career (which didn’t happened) and following The Eagles style would’ve been pointless…

HEAVY METAL – Music From The Motion Picture [Vinyl LP reissue] (2017)

After many requests, here’s in exclusive the legendary “HEAVY METAL : Music From The Motion Picture“, in its 2-LP recent release. This is part of the Rhino Records ‘Rocktober’ series, an annual campaign featuring limited edition vinyl releases of classic albums, issued in October, 2017.
The 2-LP release is only available in the U.S. and Canada, already sold out now and very expensive.
‘Heavy Metal’ is a 1981 Canadian-American adult animated sci-fi-fantasy film based in the Heavy Metal Magazine, which was the basis for the film. Like the magazine, the film features a great deal of graphic violence, sexuality, and nudity, censored at various countries.
The movie soundtrack features songs inspired by the story, but most the artists involved aren’t musically ‘heavy metal’ at all. The term is used here into other context.
Musically, “HEAVY METAL : Music From The Motion Picture” offers more than the title suggests, and the songs fit perfectly with their respective film segments. Most songs from the likes of Journey, Cheap Trick, Blue Oyester Club, etc, are exclusive to this soundtrack, some never appeared into any other release, some are different from the originals, noted as ‘Soundtrack Version’.
