Fleetwood Mac - Tango in the Night / 45RPM 2LP Mobile Fidelity

Album History

The perfectionism involved in crafting Fleetwood Mac's Tango in the Night reached a level of intensity experienced by few artists before or since. Recorded over the span of 18 months, the triple-platinum album spawned four hit singles and put Fleetwood Mac back at the center of mainstream conversation. Its demands ultimately forced its primary architect, guitarist-singer Lindsey Buckingham, to leave the group shortly after its completion. Was it all worth it? A thousand times “yes.”

Edition & Mastering Quality

This reissue conveys the sonic spectrum in exhaustive manners, playing with a combination of transparency, imaging, openness, and dynamics that provides uncanny insight into the meticulously layered vocal and instrumental tracks.

Everything co-producers Buckingham and Richard Dashut sought to instill in the music—the exacting tones, gauzy textures, plush atmospherics, shifted harmonics, unique pitches, pristine acoustics, and biting rhythms—can now be heard with elevated accuracy, range, depth, and detail. If your audio system is up to the task, the realism, presence, and warmth of this collectible edition will have you considering Tango in the Night from a new perspective.
