ALBUM RECORDS

MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER produced only a couple of minor hits, which may have something to do with the fact that its best songs are all five or six minutes long. But they're among the strongest songs in the entire Elton John catalog--especially the lovely opening track, "Tiny Dancer," which builds from a light, delicately melodic verse to a sweeping, dramatic chorus. Another highlight is the inscrutably biographic "Levon," whose title character was born "on a Christmas day when the New York Times said God is dead."
John's luxurious piano melodies, Bernie Taupin's poetic lyrics, and Paul Buckmaster's lush string arrangements all stretch out on MADMAN, giving the record a grandiose, sweeping feel when it is not riding dark, surging currents, as on the memorably edgy title track. There is a painstaking, interior quality here that goes missing from John's early pop-song oriented albums and from the later excesses of GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD. For this reason, MADMAN ON THE WATER is a crucial, unique addition to the John catalogue.

LIMITED EDITION. This Limited Edition analogue LP is an audiophile collector’s item that simply gives the feeling of being directly in the studio with the artist.

This recording is re-mastered from the Original Session Tapes by Steve Hoffman on DCC’s vintage Vacuum-Tube Playback System. The plating of the lacquers is done the same day as cutting using a slow low temperature bath to minimize groove echo and loss of frequency information. The result is the best sounding series of LPs in history. This Out of Print collectible LP has all Liner Notes, Photos, and Artwork from the Original LP faithfully recreated. ......

************************************************

The DCC record label is unfortunately long gone. They produced some of the best sounding audiophile software to ever hit the market, most of which was mastered by Steve Hoffman. This makes all their LPs, Gold CDs and Silver Sided CDs all out of print. As time goes on, you will undoubtedly notice significant increases in the prices of the DCC items, especially as the supply dwindles down to next to nothing. In fact, you may have already noticed the skyrocketing price on some of their products. This is no coincidence as all audiophiles and music lovers seek out their software, simply because the product was so good! Get them while you can as they won't be around for long!
