CHRIS ISAAK – Heart Shaped World – Hybrid Stereo SACD [TBC]

Description

SACD – Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD, Plays with Superb Clarity, Detail, and Tonality. Experience the Brooding 1989 Album in Audiophile Sound Mobile Fidelitys.

There was nothing in contemporary music like Chris Isaaks Heart Shaped World when it hit shelves in June 1989. More than three decades later, the singer-songwriters third album still sounds unique and claims a backstory nearly as fascinating as the retro-leaning material and standout performances that propelled it to sales of more than 2.5 million copies. Home to the Top 10 smash Wicked Game, the set remains a masterful mood piece that invites you to pour a late-night drink, sit in a dimmed room, and relish Isaaks elegant albeit raw ruminations on love, relationships, and questionable decisions.

Sourced from the original master tapes and housed in mini-LP-style gatefold packaging, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered-edition hybrid SACD presents Heart Shaped World in audiophile quality. It unearths the staggering inner details, saturated tones, and brilliant atmospherics of the crisp production. And it brings you up close and personal with Isaaks spectacular singing, impeccably controlled, tense, brooding, steamy, smoldering, haunted, situated amidst stripped-down backdrops that allow notes to fully bloom and decay.

A quick note on In the Heat of the Jungle: On original CD releases of Heart Shaped World, this track clocks in at 6:20. For this reissue, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab used the shorter 4:38 version originally included on original vinyl copies of Heart Shaped World. The label supplied MoFi with the shorter version.
