The Butterfield Blues Band – East-West

Sourced from the original analogue master tapes, strictly limited to 2,500 numbered copies, and housed in a mini-LP-style gatefold package, Mobile Fidelity’s hybrid SACD presents East-West in audiophile sound — and in the original mono mix for the first time in nearly 60 years. East-West was pressed in mono from 1966 to 1968, after which the stereo version (a revised copy of the mono original) became the only option.. Featuring black backgrounds and crystal-clear clarity that expose critical details, dynamics, and tones, this collectible reissue exhibits elevated levels of directness, coherency, and spaciousness. You’ll experience the prized acoustics and dimensions of Chicago’s famous Chess Studios at 2120 S. Michigan Avenue, where the set was recorded.
