Run DMC – King of Rock – Mofi SACD
IN AUDIOPHILE QUALITY FOR THE FIRST TIME: HYBRID SACD PLAYS WITH VISCERAL IMMEDIACY
Run-D.M.C. leaves no doubt about its intent on King of Rock. The New York trio's hard-hitting sophomore album begins with a statement of purpose ("Rock the House") that serves as a stereophonic primer for the title track, a hybrid warning-anthem-theme song that swarms with justified boasts, heavy metal riffs, booming beats, cowbell accents, and dance-worthy grooves. The back-to-back tunes set the tone for a 1985 record that largely established the blueprint for the hip-hop that would follow for the next two decades — and which helped make rap a mainstream currency via the previously off-limits channels of radio, TV, and the national stage.

By the time he released Blues for Salvador, the fourth album billed to the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer as a lone solo artist, he kept a pace that saw him release LPs at a more than one record-per-year clip ever since the launch of his group’s 1969 debut. No wonder this 1987 effort would be Santana’s last work until 1990; he deserved the rest. And with the largely instrumental Blues for Salvador, he entered into the break on a high note — one that earned him his first Grammy Award.

Minute by Minute saved the Doobie Brothers even as it nearly broke the band.

Having sold more than three million copies and stayed on the charts for more than a year, the four-time Grammy-winning Minute by Minute remains a pop landmark — all the more impressive given few initially believed in its potential.

For all intents and purposes, Toulouse Street functions as the Doobie Brothers’ debut. Though it released a self-titled effort in 1971, the band admitted the latter album was rushed and reflected the results of a group that had barely spent any time together. Toulouse Street unfolded amid far more favorable circumstances. Overflowing with feel-good vibes, it also touted key lineup changes that proved crucial to the band’s success. And it’s how most listeners discovered Tom Johnston and Co., setting the stage for a dominant run during the Seventies that ultimately led to the Doobie Brothers’ induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
