Ventura, CA. (Top40 Charts/ Audio Fidelity) - Marshall Blonstein's Audio Fidelity is set for a big year in 2009 with a full schedule of releases due. Two of the biggest names in music history, The
Beach Boys and The Band will be honored with the release of their classic recordings. The tremendously popular 24KT Gold CD limited and numbered editions expect to sellout quickly.
The
Beach Boys Pet Sounds continues to be mentioned as one of the greatest albums ever recorded rivaling The Beatles'
Sergeant Pepper. Ironically
Brian Wilson was inspired to write the songs on the album and record after he heard The Beatles'
Rubber Soul. Released in 1966 to rave reviews and fanatical fan support,
Pet Sounds is just as vibrant and valid today. All the hits are here such as 'Wouldn't It Be Nice', 'Sloop John B.', 'God Only Knows', 'Caroline No' and the bonus track 'Hang On To Your Ego'.
Audio Fidelity used the original analog 1966 mix by
Brian Wilson for the purest sound in 24 Karat Gold and mastered by Steve Hoffman. The 24 Karat Gold CDs produced are the closest thing you can get to the warm and crisp vinyl sound the band originally intended people to hear.
Now if the
Beach Boys was not enough Audio Fidelity comes right behind that with The Band's legendary 'brown' self-titled album. Released in 1969, this historic rock-blues album gave The Band mainstream awareness and remains a timeless classic to this day. Again Steve Hoffman sits at the controls to perform his magic with the meticulous remastering process from the analog Capitol master mixes. This album is filled with hits like 'Up On Cripple Creek', 'The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down', 'King Harvest', 'Rag Mama Rag' and many more including the bonus track, "Get Up Jake".
Audio Fidelity is excited about all the new releases on their schedule this year and is certain music fans, audiophiles and collectors alike will be delighted with the two releases. Visit the Audio Fidelity website for more information on the releases and how to order.
