MASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL ANALOG MASTER TAPES, PRESSED AT RTI ON MOFI SUPERVINYL, AND LIMITED TO 10,000 NUMBERED COPIESWith it's name indicative of the music's boundary-testing diversity and Southwestern inspiration, On the Border finds The Eagles leaving everything on the table and embracing a harder edge that takes the band out of more relaxed territory and establishes it as a group that knows how - and wants - to rock. Glenn Frey, Don Henley, new member Don Felder, and company immediately announce their intent on the defiant album-opening hit 'Already Gone' and never look back, crafting a gem of a record that from start to finish is arguably their most consistent and balanced effort.Limited to 10,000 numbered copies, pressed on dead-quiet MoFi SuperVinyl at RTI, and mastered from the original analog master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's ultra-hi-fi UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP collector's edition pays tribute to the record's significance and enhances the experience for generations to come. Playing with reference sonics that elevate an effort revered by audiophiles, it provides a lively, dynamic, transparent, and intimate view of a whose contemporary importance continues to grow. The opportunity to zero in on the particulars of The Eagles' golden harmonies, distinct vocal timbres, and cohesive interplay has never been better.Visually, the premium packaging and gorgeous presentation of the UD1S On the Border pressing befit it's select status. Housed in a deluxe box, it features special foil-stamped jackets and faithful-to-the-original graphics that illuminate the splendor of the recording. No expense has been spared. From every angle, this UD1S reissue exists as a curatorial artifact meant to be preserved, touched, and examined. It is made for discerning listeners that prize sound quality and production, and who desire to fully immerse themselves in the art - and e

I had also just heard a tape at Bill Laswell's house of Buckethead, an exciting new guitarist who has since become one of the most important voices in the electric guitar community. 'Octave of The...' has been out of print for 3 years [originally released in 1995] and I felt it was time to bring it back. When looking over the multi-track tapes, I discovered parts that did not make it onto the album the first time around - so much great stuff that I almost look on this re-issue as a new album. There are no extra songs, but the guitar and keyboard performances shed new light on the music. - Jonas Hellborg.
