Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill (Ultradisc One-Step LP) / 45RPM 2LP Mobile Fidelity

When Alanis Morissette took aim at an ex-boyfriend who had wronged her the scathing lyrics in the song “You Oughta Know” changed music history: everything about this top 10 hit was different from the usual stories about failed love.

Nor was it the typical story of a hurt singer wallowing in self-pity. Morissette's major label debut album “Jagged Little Pill” dealt with personal experiences in a decidedly atypical way, sparking a movement whose influence still resonates

in mainstream music nearly three decades later. “Jagged Little Pill” was ranked No. 69 on Rolling Stone's list of the best albums of all time and sold over 17 million copies in the US alone and over 33 million worldwide! With 3x diamond,

130x platinum and 3x gold status, it is one of the 20 best-selling albums of all time! In addition, “Jagged Little Pill” received four Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, three Billboard Music Awards and eight Juno Awards. In 2018,

the album became the basis for a musical that received 15 Tony nominations on Broadway.

The album is a statement, an attitude and a soundtrack for anyone looking for inspiration, an outlet or a reason to finally be themselves. The intimacy, honesty, and catharsis with which Morissette works on “Jagged Little Pill” is astonishing.

Named after a line from the insightful song “You Learn”, the album explores the emotions, inner contradictions and longing desires that people feel every day but often don't dare to express out of fear without shyness. Like a woman reading

from her diary, Morissette leaves nothing to the imagination when she pokes fun at hypocrisy in the poignant “Forgiven”, demands retribution in the vengeful “You Oughta Know” and pours her heart out in the soul-cleansing “All I Really Want”.

Despite all the anger and bitterness attributed to the singer and the album, “Jagged Little Pill” is incredibly vital and optimistic. Morissette uses catchy pop-rock structures: there's the clever longing of “Hand In My Pocket”, the ironic controversy

of “Ironic”, the kindness of “Hand Over Feet” and the live-and-let-live attitude of “You Learn” – all positive and endearing.

The numbered double LP box set of “Jagged Little Pill,” strictly limited to 4,000 copies, was remastered from the original tapes especially for this edition at MoFi Studio in California and pressed on 180-gram MoFi SuperVinyl (45 RPM) at Fidelity

Record Pressing – using the sonically superior Ultra-Disc One-Step process. Housed in a deluxe slipcase, it features special foil-stamped jackets and faithful-to-the-original graphics that illuminate the splendor of the recording. Originally released in

1995, this masterpiece shines in rich tones thanks to MFSL's One-Step version: Glen Ballard's smooth production comes into its own here with an openness, presence and dynamic explosiveness that make the singer's songs even more haunting.

“Jagged Little Pill” transcends generations, genders, and trends, making it a timeless classic that belongs in every serious record collection!
