AL STEWART Year Of The Cat LP Original Master MFSL Vinyl Record
This, Stewart's first platinum album, was the one that cemented Stewart in the annals of pop-music history (the album hit Billboard's Top 5) and made him a huge international star. Producer Alan Parsons' formula from Modern Times, mixing Stewart's historically themed folk-rock pieces with jazz conventions (like the unforgettable Phil Kenzie saxophone break in the title song) and absolute gorgeousness (Peter Wood's heartstoppingly lovely "YOTC" piano intro), worked like the proverbial charm when it came to electrifying music. 1. "Lord Grenville" (5:02) 2. "On The Border" (3:23) 3. "Midas Shadow" (3:16) 4. "Sand In Your Shoes" (3:04) 5. "If It Doesn't Come Naturally, Leave It" (4:30) Side 2. 6. "Flying Sorcery" (4:22) 7. "Broadway Hotel" (3:58) 8. "One Stage Before" (4:41) 9. "Year Of The Cat" (6:37) Mobile Fidelity's significant contributions to the world of high-end audio software are grounded in the art of Original Master Recording, significantly advanced by the company with the introduction of the half-speed mastered Original Master RecordingTM LP. As part of the company's resolve to provide the most accurate sonic reproductions possible, all Mobile Fidelity product is mastered directly from the original master tape as opposed to production copies often used for mass reproduction. This ensures a more complete and exacting transfer of the original musical data. In the case of the Original Master RecordingTM (OMR) LP, the use of the master tape is combined with a unique procedure known as "half-speed" mastering, which literally slows down the cutting system involved in mastering vinyl .
