Ultradisc One-Step Presents Landmark 1970 Album In Unparalleled Sound

Mastering Source to Be Determined Closer to Production Date; Specifics Will Be Posted Here When Authenticated

Ladies of the Canyon can be viewed as Joni Mitchell’s coming-out party. Having recently moved to Lookout Mountain in Los Angeles’ Laurel Canyon area – her house is depicted in a watercolor painting she made for the record’s cover – the Canadian icon turned to her immediate surroundings for inspiration all the while taking the pulse of national affairs, corporate enterprise, celebrity, and her relationship with Graham Nash. The rather upbeat Ladies of the Canyon also finds the singer-songwriter morphing into the groundbreaker who would shed folk music’s constructs and wade into pop, jazz, soul, and poetry with a combination of depth, sophistication, self-examination, and acumen no one had ever heard.

Joni Mitchell - Ladies of the Canyon – MoFi 180g 45RPM SuperVinyl 2LP Box Set

Deemed “powerful and brilliant” upon release by The New York Times, this 1970 set marks the first of six consecutive masterworks Mitchell made – and an album that deserves to be heard in the finest-possible fidelity on Mobile Fidelity’s UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP box set.

More About Mobile Fidelity UltraDisc One-Step and Why It Is Superior

Instead of utilizing the industry-standard three-step lacquer process, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab’s new UltraDisc One-Step (UD1S) uses only one step, bypassing two processes of generational loss. While three-step processing is designed for optimum yield and efficiency, UD1S is created for the ultimate in sound quality. Just as Mobile Fidelity pioneered the UHQR (Ultra High-Quality Record) with JVC in the 1980s, UD1S again represents another state-of-the-art advance in the record-manufacturing process. MFSL engineers begin with the original master tapes and meticulously cut a set of lacquers. These lacquers are used to create a very fragile, pristine UD1S stamper called a “convert.” Delicate “converts” are then formed into the actual record stampers, producing a final product that literally and figuratively brings you closer to the music. By skipping the additional steps of pulling another positive and an additional negative, as done in the three-step process used in standard pressings, UD1S produces a final LP with the lowest noise floor possible today. The removal of the additional two steps of generational loss in the plating process reveals tremendous amounts of extra musical detail and dynamics, which are otherwise lost due to the standard copying process. The exclusive nature of these very limited pressings guarantees that every UD1S pressing serves as an immaculate replica of the lacquer sourced directly from the original master tape. Every conceivable aspect of vinyl production is optimized to produce the most perfect record album available today.
