Music critic, Michael Fremer, editor of The Tracking Angles and contributing editor for Stereophile, said about this MCA Heavy Vinyl re-mastered from the Original Analog Tapes (with no noise suppression or bass roll-off) that “music erupts out of total silence from these thick 180 Gram Virgin Vinyl discs with a velvety smoothness, spaciousness, and ultra high resolution that stuns even the most committed CD die-hard.”

Alone Together has an absolute All-Star lineup accompanying Dave Mason of Bonnie & Delaney - Leon Russell - Jim Keltner - Carl Radle - Rita Coolidge - Jim Gordon - and from Traffic - Jim Capaldi.

With so many artists, Dave Mason’s solo debut album is probably his best. Perhaps it is because he had a backlog of songs that Traffic had never recorded, but 1970’s Alone Together is chock-full of great songs. On the other hand, it’s easy to see why Mason left Traffic even before that group’s (temporary) breakup in 1969. The soft rock sound of Alone Together is hard to place in the context of the jazz/pop experiments Traffic would explore when they re-united in 1971. 

 The eight lengthy songs take time to unfold and the peerless musicianship with Mason’s lyrical guitar and Leon Russell’s inimitable boogey soul piano in the center, threads the line between chops and soul with nary a mis-step.

 Remastered directly from the Original Analog Master Tapes!

Mason's debut solo album remains his best effort, due to well crafted tracks like the hit "Only You Know & I know" and "Feelin' Alright," a song that has been covered by numerous artists, including Joe Cocker, and Three Dog Night. Mason left Traffic in 1970 and went solo, enjoying sporadic success during the '70s with his style of light melodic rock/pop.

"Music erupts out of total silence from these thick, 180 gram virgin vinyl discs with a velvety smoothness, spaciousness and ultra-high resolution that stuns even the most committed CD diehard." - Michael Fremer, Editor, The Tracking Angle, Contributing Editor, Stereophile

  Dave Mason Alone Together Again 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION LP (Marble Vinyl)

Re-Recorded Version On 180g Marble Vinyl LP!

Celebrating The 50th Anniversary Of His Classic Solo Debut Album!

Plated & Pressed at QRP!

Alone Together was my first solo album. Like all firsts, they are special. The original tapes that burned in the 2008 Universal fires was heartbreaking. But it occurs to me, the Music never dies.

I've played these songs for the better part of 50 years because I love them. I re-recorded the whole album because I still feel inspired by the music. This makes Alone Together Again a true labor of love. Some things I know for sure; music is relationship and love is best when shared. That is the whole conceptual play of Alone Together.

We allowed ourselves to have some fun with the presentation of this LP, which is marbled and multicolored, just like the original vinyl. And true to the original album, it's a three part fold out. We tried to find the exact spot in Joshua Tree to reshoot the photo, but, well, it has been over fifty years ago and we couldn't be sure. But we think we recaptured the spirit, nonetheless.

I hope you'll enjoy listening to Alone Together Again as much as I had in making it. And I hope you'll feel the love when you have it in your hands, and when the music hits your heart.

- Dave Mason
