 NOTE: 24k GOLD Audiophile CDs can be played on ANY CD player. Audio CD Original Release Date: 1993 Number of Discs: 1 Format: Gold CD, Live Label: Mobile Fidelity DAVE MASON Alone Together (Deleted US limited edition Mobile Fidelity 24kt GOLD 'Ultradisc II' audiophile 8-track CD album mastered directly from the original tapes with a unique black and gold bordered colour fold-out picture sleeve UDCD573). Dave Mason's first solo album was one of several recordings to come out of the Leon Russell/Delaney & Bonnie axis in 1970. (Other notables included Eric Clapton's solo debut and Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs & Englishmen.) Alone Together contains an excellent batch of melodically pleasing songs, built on a fat bed of strumming acoustic guitars with tasteful electric guitar accents and leads. Mason's vocals are embellished with harmonies from Rita Coolidge, Claudia Lennear, and Delaney & Bonnie. Besides the well-known semi-hit "Only You Know and I Know, " and which was also a number 20 hit for Delaney & Bonnie, highlights include the bouncy gospel-inflected "Waitin' on You " and the banjo-bejeweled "Just a Song. " "Look at You Look at Me " and the wonderfully wah-wahed "Shouldn't Have Took More Than You Gave " are reminiscent of Mason's former band, Traffic, whose drummer, Jim Capaldi is among the all-star cast assembled here. Alone Together represents Dave Mason at his peak. All titles in the "MFSL series " are produced to the absolute highest possible standard. Only the latest sonic technologies and state-of-the-art equipment are used during all aspects of transferring the purity of sound from the original master recording  - to this 24k GOLD CD – for incredible sonic realism. Intensive archival research to process the original master recordings assures a listening experience that is truly unsurpassed. This painstaking process utilizes 20-bit digital transfers.
