A Universe of Pop: Fleetwood Mac's Tango in the Night Features Meticulous Production, Includes the Hits 'Big Love,' 'Everywhere,' 'Seven Wonders,' and 'Little Lies'Experience the 1987 Album in Audiophile Sound for the First Time: Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition 180g 45RPM 2LP Set Captures the Perfectionist DetailsThe perfectionism involved in crafting Fleetwood Mac's Tango in the Night reached a level of intensity experienced by few artists before or since. Commercially and creatively, the painstaking efforts paid off. Recorded over the span of 18 months, the triple-platinum album spawned four hit singles and put Fleetwood Mac back at the center of mainstream conversation. It's demands also ultimately forced it's primary architect, guitarist-singer Lindsey Buckingham, to leave the group shortly after it's completion. Was it all worth it? A thousand times 'yes.'Sourced from the original master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and housed in a Stoughton jacket, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP set of Tango in the Night presents the 1987 record in audiophile sound for the first time. Everything co-producers Buckingham and Richard Dashut sought to instill in the music - the exacting tones, gauzy textures, plush atmospherics, shifted harmonics, unique pitches, pristine acoustics, biting rhythms - can now be heard with elevated accuracy, range, depth, and detail.Made under challenging circumstances, Tango in the Night is as much a universe of sound as it is an album. This reissue conveys that sonic spectrum in exhaustive manners that go beyond prior editions by playing with a combination of transparency, imaging, openness, and dynamics that provides uncanny insight into the meticulously layered vocal and instrumental tracks. Equally important, it also amplifies your connection to the elaborate melodies, contagious hooks, and airy highs that account for the album's ageless pop brilliance.As for the wondrous array of percussive accents, synthesizer elements, interlaced guitars, and lush chrouses - all seemingly occupying the exact right place amid the soundstages and taking on shapes and forms that lend them a living, breathing quality? If your audio system is up to the task, the realism, presence, and warmth of Mobile Fidelity's collectible edition will have you considering Tango in the Night from a new perspective - one that puts it's lavish, gorgeous creations on a par with those from Rumours and Tusk.Unlike those records, Tango in the Night began from a more individualistic perspective in that it sprang from what originally was intended to become a Buckingham solo effort. Instead, it remains the final album credited to the peak Fleetwood Mac lineup involving Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Chrstine McVie, Mick Fleetwood, and John McVie. Though the participation of all the members varies from track to track, the cohesive arrangements and alchemic production on Tango in the Night suggest a unity that remains on a par with the band's other landmark works.Largely constructed from laborious methods that involved recording at half speed to achieve the desired sonics and tonal nuances, piecing together verses and choruses to attain seamless synchronicity, and Buckingham using a Fairlight CMI synthesizer/workstation in visionary ways, the songs pair electronic and acoustic elements to radiant effect. Tango in the Night also possesses light dance structures that resulted in several tunes being recast as dance mixes on extended-play singles. Above all, however, this is music that appears to float and cast dreamy spells.Surrender to the frisky interplay of the opening 'Big Love,' big pop punctuated with Buckingham's back-and-forth 'oh-ah' sighs that ping the Top 5 smash with innocuous sensuality and toe-tapping momentum. Delight amid the shimmering lights of 'Seven Wonders,' whose shades and shadows shift amid Nicks' raspy vocals and a large group chorus. Wrap yourself in the warmth of the weightless 'Everywhere,' a flawless slice of hummable pop that topped with Adult Contemporary charts for three weeks and towers as an ode to the love everyone desires. Stare into the mysterious landscape of the title track (and dig the synthesized harp) just before it explodes, briefly ceding to a terse riff and locked-in grooves.Tango in the Night teems with delightful surprises and well-honed specifics, especially when Buckinham and Christine McVie team together. In addition to the aforementioned 'Everywhere,' the singer born Christine Anne Perfect plays a major role on four more cuts - all highlights - from the breathy, head-over-heels emotionalism of 'Mystified' to the sweet, sweeping escapism of 'Little Lies,' a cover-up of romantic despair aided by Nicks' irreplaceable background vocals.'If I see you again/Will it be the same,' asks Buckingham on 'When I See You Again,' finishing up a song a longing-sounding Nicks had started while voicing words that many likely knew would resonate far beyond the confines of the heartfelt song - a goodbye wearing a faint disguise. Though Fleetwood Mac would never again reach the heights maintained throughout Tango in the Night, and members would go their own way, the album towers as a paean to what's possible in the fields of pop, rock, and studio wizardry.1/2' / 30 IPS analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to latheNumbered 180g 45RPM Vinyl LPNUMBERED SPECIAL EDITIONTrack ListSide One:1.
