Eagles – Hotel California (One-Step, LP, Mobile Fidelity)

Released in 1976, Hotel California became one of the most successful albums in music history. After five triumphant years of record sales and exhausting tours, the Eagles’ lightheartedness was gone. Instead, Don Henley, Don Felder, Glenn Frey, Randy Meisner and Joe Walsh took a journey through the underbelly of L.A., the dazzling West Coast metropolis where dreams and nightmares lie so close together. The fascination with the Beverly Hills Hotel, the Hollywood myth carved in stone, led the band to research hotels in general. An iconic song was created, the exegesis of which continues to this day. “Hotel California” became a worldwide phenomenon that continues to appeal to music fans of all generations with its picturesque melodies, narrative depth and simplicity. The one-step LP boxes from MFSL are the benchmark in the area of audiophile re-issues and are qualitatively superior to the other productions of the most famous remastering studio in the world. The original analog tape was transferred into a 4xDSD file by the MFSL sound engineers after the tracking of the tape and the bias setting were made individually for each individual track. The lacquer cut was then created in the studio in Sebastopol. What is special about the LPs is not only a new vinyl granulate without carbon colorants, which is used at RTI in Camarillo, but above all the one-step process of LP production. You can only get closer to the sound of the master tape in the MFSL studio in California.
