Carly Simon - No Secrets / 45 RPM 2LP Mobile Fidelity

Carly Simon's number one hit “You're So Vain” is still considered one of the best songs ever recorded. For decades, it kept audiences guessing about the identity of its protagonist. The question of identity remained perhaps the only mystery on the artist's autobiographical album.

“No Secrets” helped Simons, who wrote or co-wrote all but one of the songs herself, achieve commercial breakthrough. The album became a milestone in the singer-songwriter scene of the 1970s, spent five weeks at number one on the US Billboard 200 and quickly went gold.

“You're So Vain” spent three weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and two weeks at number one on the Adult Contemporary charts. The second single, “The Right Thing to Do,” reached number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number four on the Adult Contemporary

charts. The album was nominated for four Grammy Awards and was officially certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on December 12, 1997.

Simon's open and honest lyrics were brilliantly showcased by Richard Perry's elegant production, which gave Simon's music a new dynamic. From September to October 1972, everybody moved into the famous Trident Studios in London: Jimmy Ryan (guitars, bass), Bobby Keys

(tenor saxophone), Lowell George (guitar), Peter Robinson (piano), Bill Payne (organ), Klaus Voorman (bass), Andy Newmark and Jim Keltner (drums) formed the core of the band along with many other musicians. Kirby Johnson was responsible for the string and horn arrangements

and conducted the orchestra musicians together with Paul Bruckmaster (orchestration, synthesizer and arrangements for orchestra, synthesizer and woodwinds). Perry paid particular attention to Simon's vocals, making them more sensitive and stirring than on Simon's earlier productions.

Prominent guest musicians Paul and Linda McCartney, Mick Jagger, and her then-husband James Taylor also contributed to the album's success.

MFSL is proud to present “No Secrets” in audiophile reference quality: mastered from the original tapes at MoFi Studio in California, manufactured by Fidelity Record Pressing, strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies and housed in a luxurious gatefold jacket by Stoughton Printing, this

double LP (180 grams, 45 RPM) offers the best sound quality the album has ever received on vinyl and sets new standards in terms of three-dimensionality, transparency and dynamics.

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
