Less than six years after changing the music landscape with its diamond-platinum-certified self-titled debut, Van Halen repeated the creative and commercial feats. Featuring groundbreaking performances, infectious chemistry, and four enormous singles, 1984 witnesses the band incorporating synthesizer elements that guitarist Eddie Van Halen had been championing ''- as well as bridging pop and metal sensibilities into a cohesive melodic whole. Punchy and catchy, glamorous and glitzy, blustery and heavy, wild and pyrotechnic, fast and pleasurable: 1984 feels as fresh, fun, and innovative as it did in the Reagan Era. Sourced from the original analog tapes and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, Mobile Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2xLP box set presents the group's final album with singer David Lee Roth for nearly four decades in reference sound. You have never heard 1984 like this. Soundstaging that extends far beyond the external boundaries of your speakers; complete replication of the leading edges of notes; imaging that allows you to picture each member in an exact space; attack, timing, and physicality that come across with breathtaking balance and realism. Recorded with producer Ted Templeman at Eddie Van Halen's 5150 Studios, 1984 can now be experienced with unparalleled transparency, directness, and definition. As the man says in ''Drop Dead Legs'': You know that you want it. Mobile Fidelity UltraDisc One-Step Process: Instead of utilizing the industry-standard three-step lacquer process, UltraDisc One-Step (UD1S) uses only one step and bypasses two processes of generational loss. In addition to revealing extra musical detail and dynamics otherwise lost due to the standard copying process, the UD1S technique produces a final LP with the lowest noise floor possible today.
