Mobile Fidelity

Established in 1977, Mobile Fidelity (MFSL) is a renowned label specializing in remastering major-label music for the discerning "audiophile" market. With CD releases starting in 1984, MFSL has become synonymous with high-quality sound reproduction.

Known for their meticulous attention to detail, MFSL releases often feature unchanged copyright dates from the original release. However, most of their releases are issued a year or so later. The first Gold Ultradisc™ CD was introduced in February 1987, followed by the Gold Ultradisc II™ (Made in USA) CD in September 1992.

MFSL takes pride in their branded labels and ensures that all their releases are remastered by their own Sound Labs. Their catalog of releases can be found on the "Sites" section. Notably, limited editions were prevalent during the label's early years and featured an information sticker on the shrink wrap. Additionally, numbered retail copies often had corresponding unnumbered promotional versions.

Some songs are so ingrained in our consciousness that they are immediately identifiable upon hearing one or two notes. Featuring one of the most indelible riffs ever played, Foghat's air-guitar anthem "Slow Ride" is such a tune. The hit single turned the British band into stars and catapulted 1975's Fool for the City up the charts. And what a ride it is.We hear a lot of yearning today about the good-old, glory days of rock and roll, the simple kind that just locked into a good beat, turned out a raunchy groove, and simply kicked you in the butt. The no-pretence type meant for kicking back, letting loose, and surrendering to the melody. Bare-bones music that doesn't need image or looks as a crutch.Well, this is it, friends, classic meat-and-potatoes 70s rock that comes with killer slide-guitar solos, crunchy leads, driving rhythms, and soaring vocals. No need for any further instructions or explanations. The pact between artist and audience is understood. Here, the band trusts that you know what to do and is ready to rock out with anyone in earshot.

Pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, Mobile Fidelity's remaster of this Foghat gem bring to the surface the band's marble-solid sturdiness and bluesy structures like never before. Bass notes are thicker and richer, the dual guitars bite and snap, and Lonesome Dave Peverett's singing comes across with realistic grit. This LP invites you to hear and feel the energy Foghat brings to the boogie-infused title track, great cover of the Righteous Brothers' "My Babe," and, of course, the everlasting "Slow Ride."
