PAUL SIMON - GRACELAND (25TH ANNIVERSARY LP)

PAUL SIMON - GRACELAND (25TH ANNIVERSARY LP) "In many ways, Graceland was the most extraordinary experience in my entire career," notes Simon. "The insight into rhythm was the great gift that I received from making the trip to South Africa, and collaborating with African musicians." Heavyweight vinyl pressed at RTI. Remastered from the original analog tapes. "This lacquer cut processed and pressed at RTI on 180-gram vinyl sounds dramatically superior to the original in every way. The overall tonal balance is far superior. The low bass is as powerful as on the original but much better controlled. If the opening drum thwacks on 'Boy In the Bubble,' don't sound deep, ultra-tight, and tuneful, blame your system, not the record. You are guaranteed to hear heretofore hidden musical details and parts that in the original slipped through the musical cracks. This reissue has an overall tonal richness and clarity as well as dynamic impact only hinted at on the original." – Michael Fremer, Analog Planet
