Fleetwood Mac Comes into Its Own with Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks: Self-Titled Record Ranked 182nd Greatest Album of All Time by Rolling Stone, Includes ''Landslide'' and ''Rhiannon''.
Hear the 1975 Blockbuster in Reference Sound: Mobile Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP Box Set Plays with Extraordinary Definition, Presence, and Detail.
A veteran band with waning prospects, personnel churn, and management issues. A largely unknown duo whose eponymous debut flopped. An impromptu meeting in a supermarket that led to a factfinding trip to Sound City Studios. The backstory behind Fleetwood Mac's self-titled album is nearly as incredible as the music on the 1975 recording - a blockbuster that altered pop-rock history, and found newcomers Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks permanently changing the profile and popularity of the British ensemble.
Sourced from the original analog master tapes and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, Mobile Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP box set of the nine-times-platinum effort plays with reference level transparency, dynamics, and detail. This vinyl edition captures what went down in the California studio with arresting presence, tube-like warmth, and sumptuous tonality. The innate chemistry among the five musicians can be heard here in stunning clarity, the taut albeit flexible rhythms distinguished with palpable grip, the blended vocals and airy harmonies benefitting from seemingly unlimited frequency extension. The thrilling results speak to the band's bond as well as healthy tension that led to recordings that remain revered for their exceptional openness, textures, imaging, and soundstaging. Listen to this collectible version and you'll immediately understand why.

Mobile Fidelity UltraDisc One-Step Process: Instead of utilizing the industry-standard three-step lacquer process, UltraDisc One-Step (UD1S) uses only one step and bypasses two processes of generational loss. In addition to revealing extra musical detail and dynamics otherwise lost due to the standard copying process, the UD1S technique produces a final LP with the lowest noise floor possible today.
