Pre-Order: Bella Donna [New CD]

Stevie Nicks Breaks Out as a Solo Force on Bella Donna: 1981 Album Features Extraordinary Vocal Performances and Four Hits, Including 'Edge of Seventeen' and 'Stop Draggin' My Heart Around'Experience the Quadruple-Platinum Record's Spontaneous Feel, Raw Emotions, and Organic Arrangements in Transparent Sound on Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACDStevie Nicks had much to prove when she stepped out on her own for the first time and crafted Bella Donna. Despite attaining superstar success with Fleetwood Mac, the singer often took a back seat to the band's other members - and, due to the group's approach, faced limitations in getting her songs on an album. Along with Nicks' status as a significant artistic force in her own right, that all changed with the timeless Bella Donna. Teaming with simpatico producer Jimmy Iovine and fellow rock 'n' roll icon Tom Petty, and backed by an all-star cast, Nicks asserted control over the creative process for the first time. She allowed the material to develop spontaneously - a characteristic you readily experience via the record's natural, balanced sonics and raw emotionalism.Sourced from the original analog master tapes and housed in mini-LP-style gatefold packaging, Mobile Fidelity's numberededition hybrid SACD of the 1981 benchmark plays with superb transparency, dynamics, and detail. Benefitting from extraordinary clarity, openness, and separation, it captures what went down in the studio with tremendous realism and presence. The extended, tonally rich soundscapes you hear - instrumentation that feels live, vocals that float and yet sound altogether innate, synergy between the players that places them in the same room together - remain as integral to Bella Donna as it's personalized songs, from the country-tinged ballad 'Leather and Lace' to the determined 'Outside the Rain' and immortal 'Edge of Seventeen.' Long may her white dove soar.Numbered Hybrid Stereo SACDNUMBERED SPECIAL EDITIONTrack List1. Bella Donna2. Kind of Woman3. Stop Draggin' My Heart Around4. Think About It5. After the Glitter Fades6.
