Live At Carnegie Hall - 2LP (RSD 2023 Gul "Vanilliecréme" Vinyl)

RSD 2023 Release, Limited Edition
2 x Vinyl, LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Yellow [Custard]

On par with the most treasured concert albums of the '60s and '70s, Bill Withers' transformative Live at Carnegie Hall is a forgotten classic—an easygoing portrait of an a down-home soul artist coming into his own in front of an audience eager to share every moment of his brilliance. Soothing with subtlety, charming with calmness, and healing with a vocal timbre as relaxing as his grooves, Withers uses the stage to expand the range of favorites and engage in dialog with the crowd. Distinguished with sonics that restore the performances' balance and improve the soundstaging, this reissue takes you inside the venue.

Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed on 180g 2LP at RTI, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 2LP set of this extraordinary 1973 record provides a transparent view of Withers' relaxing timbre and the subtle grooves underlining his arrangements. Characteristics ranging from the tension of the guitars, funky bends of the bass, whisper-soft coo of the formal strings, airiness of the backing harmonies, and sharpness of the snare drum emerge with utmost clarity and lifelike presence.
