Rhino High Fidelity (Rhino Hi-Fi) continues its premium audiophile series with a trio of celebrated albums from Dusty Springfield, Cher, and Joni Mitchell.
The latest installment of the limited-edition vinyl reissue series features Dusty in Memphis, 3614 Jackson Highway, and Court and Spark.
The releases, cut from the original master tapes by Kevin Gray and pressed on 180-gram black vinyl at Optimal in Germany, feature glossy gatefold packaging with "tip-on" jackets and newly written liner notes.
The albums are limited to 5,000 individually numbered copies and are available exclusively at Rhino.com and select Warner Music Group stores internationally.
Dusty in Memphis, recorded at American Sound Studio under the direction of Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd, and Arif Mardin, arrived in 1969. The album, which is a permanent fixture on "Greatest Albums of All Time" lists, has been inducted into both the Grammy Hall of Fame and the National Recording Registry.
3614 Jackson Highway takes its title from the street address of the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio where Cher recorded with the legendary "Swampers."
Court and Spark signaled Mitchell's move from folk toward a sophisticated, jazz-inflected pop sound. Recorded with the jazz-fusion ensemble the L.A. Express, the record became the most successful of Mitchell's career, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and producing her highest-charting singles, "Help Me" and "Free Man In Paris".
