Description

This auction is for an opened and unplayed vinyl. 

When you think about great live albums, several immediately come to mind. The Who’s Live at Leeds. James Brown’s Live at the Apollo. The Allman Brothers Band’s Live at Fillmore East. Kiss’ Alive! Nirvana’s Unplugged. And, while it is sometimes unjustifiably forgotten, Little Feat’s Waiting for Columbus. The last essential album the rootsy California band made, it stands as the group’s peak accomplishment—a staggering confluence of energetic performances, skilled improvisations, and thematic expansion.

It also remains one of the greatest-sounding live records in history. And Mobile Fidelity, which spent more than two years getting this title exactly right in analog, has now turned Waiting for Columbus into audiophile manna from heaven. Consider: Bass guitar lines that will rattle your windows. Drum kits that attack with punch, inertia, and rhythm. Positively explosive sounds and hues from the Tower of Power horn section. The unmistakably distinctive sound of guitars plugged into analog stomp boxes that are, yes, plugged into tube amplifiers. Oh, and speaking of guitars, wait until you hear Lowell George's ravishing playing, which you can now follow like the flight of a bee. Experienced via Mobile Fidelity's numbered limited-edition 180g 2LP edition, it's like sitting 12 rows back, dead center, in a hall noted for perfect acoustics.

There is an additional $2.00 insurance charge.
