How We Pack

Your order will always be packed in a top-of-line box specifically designed to ship vinyl records—made from high quality cardboard built to prevent seam splits & corner bends.

Everything inside your shipment will be bubble wrapped for added bump & drop protection, with as much extra filler material needed for a snug, safe ride to you.

As an additional free service, your records can be opened to have their discs shipped behind the jacket to prevent seam splits. Just tick the box below the add to bag button.

Description

Sourced from the Original Master Tapes and Strictly Limited to 4,000 Numbered Copies: Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition 180g 45RPM 2LP Set Presents 1981 Smash in Audiophile Sound for the First Time 'Punk funk' was a relatively unknown concept before 1981. But once Street Songs took the charts by storm that year, the world knew about what became Rick James' signature style. True to it's name, Street Songs blends outspoken sexuality, brazen attitude, and edgy commentary amid contagious arrangements that simultaneously aim for the hips, head, and various nether regions. The Buffalo native and his ensemble waste no time getting their message across. On the album-opening 'Give It to Me Baby,' James and company lay down a mix of sleek funk and pulsing disco that practically activates the bright lights of a night club and stimulates the libido of anyone within earshot. Sourced from the original master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP set presents James' platinum effort in audiophile quality for the first time. Playing with crisp dynamics, lively textures, and revealing clarity, this collectible edition of the record that stayed at the No. 1 spot on the R&B Album Charts for 20 weeks invites you to get closer to music that beckons you to turn your space into a dance floor. Then again, you'll likely be so taken by how the taut bass lines, snappy rhythms, and four-on-the-floor beats come across with such presence, you might stay pinned to your seat. Everything from the rubbery feel of the guitar lines to the depth of James' temperature-raising vocals to the scale of the horns emerges as if James and his ace crew set up in your room. Now, prepare to get funky and get down.
