Stevie Nicks Breaks Out as a Solo Force on Bella Donna 1981 Album Features Extraordinary Vocal Performances and Four Hits, Including 'Edge of Seventeen' and 'Stop Draggin' My Heart Around'Experience the Quadruple-Platinum Record's Spontaneous Feel, Raw Emotions, and Organic Arrangements in Transparent Sound on Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACDStevie Nicks had much to prove when she stepped out on her own for the first time and crafted Bella Donna.

Benefitting from extraordinary clarity, openness, and separation, it captures what went down in the studio with tremendous realism and presence. The extended, tonally rich soundscapes you hear - instrumentation that feels live, vocals that float and yet sound altogether innate, synergy between the players that places them in the same room together - remain as integral to Bella Donna as it's personalized songs, from the country-tinged ballad 'Leather and Lace' to the determined 'Outside the Rain' and immortal 'Edge of Seventeen.' Long may her
