Bella Donna

Stevie Nicks Breaks Out as a Solo Force on Bella Donna: 1981 Album Features Extraordinary Vocal Performances and Four Hits, Including 'Edge of Seventeen' and 'Stop Draggin' My Heart Around'Experience the Quadruple-Platinum Record's Spontaneous Feel and Raw Emotions in Definitive Sound on Mobile Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP Box SetStevie Nicks had much to prove when she stepped out on her own for the first time and crafted Bella Donna. Despite attaining superstar success with Fleetwood Mac, the singer often took a back seat to the band's other members - and, due to the group's approach, faced limitations in getting her songs on an album. Along with Nicks' status as a significant artistic force in her own right, that all changed with the timeless Bella Donna. Teaming with simpatico producer Jimmy Iovine and fellow rock 'n' roll icon Tom Petty, and backed by an all-star cast, Nicks asserted control over the creative process for the first time. She allowed the material to develop spontaneously - a characteristic you readily experience via the record's natural, balanced sonics and raw emotionalism.Sourced from the original analog master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and strictly limited to 4,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP set of the 1981 album plays with superb transparency, dynamics, and detail. Benefitting from extraordinary groove definition, an ultra-low noise floor, and extremely quiet surfaces, this vinyl edition captures what went down in the studio with tremendous realism and presence. The warm, extended, tonally rich soundscapes you hear - instrumentation that feels live, vocals that float and yet sound altogether innate, synergy between the players that places them in the same room together - remain as integral to Bella Donna as it's personalized songs. Long may her white dove soar.1/4' / 30 IPS analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to latheNumbered Limited Edition UD1S180g 45RPM 2LP SetNUMBERED LIMITED EDITION OF 4,000Track ListSide One:Bella DonnaKind of WomanSide Two:Stop Draggin' My Heart AroundThink About ItAfter the Glitter FadesSide Three:Edge of SeventeenHow Still My LoveSide Four:Leather and LaceOutside the RainThe Highwayman
