Carly Simon Turns Candid: Platinum-Certified No Secrets Features an All-Star Cast and the No. 1 Hit ''You're So Vain,'' Ranked by Rolling Stone Among the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
1972 Album Available on 180g 45RPM 2LP for the First Time: Strictly Limited to 3,000 Numbered Copies, Mobile Fidelity's Reissue Plays with Wide Soundstages and Balanced Tones.
Carly Simon's No. 1 smash ''You're So Vain'' lingers as one of the most clever and famous songs ever recorded. The subject of mass speculation ever since its release, soon after which it occupied the top spot on multiple Billboard charts for weeks, the anthem kept a captive public guessing at the identity of its smug subject for decades. The question surrounding the protagonist's identity remained perhaps the only mystery on the otherwise sexually open and autobiographically daring No Secrets, Simon's commercial breakthrough and a staple of the '70s singer-songwriter canon.
Sourced from the original master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP set affords the 1972 effort the finest sonic treatment it's received on vinyl. Recorded at London's Trident Studios, No Secrets touts exceptional production qualities highlighted by this restorative reissue. Record collectors, take note: This is the first time No Secrets has been available on 45RPM. The wide grooves and dead-quiet surfaces pay instant dividends. Simple, elegant, and disarming, songs seemingly float amid wide, deep soundstages. Simon's voice takes on a confident, assertive tenor that emerges with accurate imaging, balanced tonality, and palpable presence. All the better for experiencing an effort nominated for four Grammy Awards and which saw Simon write or co-write every song but one.
