Hear the 1980 Album in Audiophile Sound: Strictly Limited to 2,500 Numbered Copies, Mobile Fidelity’s Hybrid SACD Plays with Exceptional Presence, Detail, and Clarity
The regal strings and successive gunshots that announce the start of Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School encapsulate the contrasts Warren Zevon deftly navigates on an album that further telescoped his witty, neo-noir songwriting to a broad audience. Recorded as the Chicago native struggled to overcome toxic addictions and advance from a soured marriage, it showcases his interest in classical arrangements and knack for incisive observation, tongue-in-cheek fun, and heartbreaking emotion. And it benefits from collaborations with ace musicians such as Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, Ben Keith, Waddy Wachtel, J.D. Souther, and Eagles members Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh, and Don Felder.
Sourced from the original analog master tapes, housed in mini-LP-style packaging, and strictly limited to 2,500 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity’s hybrid SACD presents Zevon’s 1980 album in audiophile sound. You will experience wide instrumental separation; dynamic elements that underscore the depth of the rhythms; naturalism that elevates the tenor of Zevon’s vocals; and revealing levels of openness, balance, and imaging. Everything from the .44 Magnum that Zevon fired into a barrel of sand to capture percussive effects at the beginning of the title track to the variety of slide, pedal, lap-steel, and electric guitars used throughout comes through with engaging clarity. So turn those speakers up full blast and play it all night long.
