Eagles' Desperado Pioneered Country Rock and Cemented a Legendary Songwriting Partnership: Includes "Tequila Sunrise," "Saturday Night," and the Title Track. Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD of Western-Themed 1973 Album Sounds Present, Detailed, Rich, and Dynamic. Desperado seams to speak to a universally human theme – the notion that at heart we are all drifters, always searching in life for ever-elusive goals such as stability, companionship, belonging, and satisfaction. Marrying cohesive western-themed arrangements to conceptual narrative devices, the Eagles' 1973 album also hits on a tried-and-true American principle: The West, and the freedom, promise, and danger it has represented throughout U.S. history. Ambitious yet accessible, deep but direct, Desperado remains a towering influence on country rock and a crucial piece of the Eagles' development and evolution.

King of Rock Established Hip-Hop's Modern Blueprint and Mainstream Currency: 1985 Run-D.M.C. Album Bristles with Purpose, Energy, and Intensity. In Audiophile Quality for the First Time and Limited to 2,000 Numbered Copies: Mobile Fidelity's 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.
