Miles Davis and Gil Evans bridged styles and collaborated on high-concept projects three different times during their celebrated careers. For their final act, they created Sketches of Spain, a peak moment in each legend's legacy. The transformative album weds Spanish themes, lush orchestrations, romantic timbres, and Davis' lyrical methods in a tender ceremony that resonates more than six decades after its original release.

Part of Mobile Fidelity's Miles Davis restoration series, this 1960 landmark has been afforded the ultimate white-gloves treatment for its 65th anniversary. Sourced from the original master tapes, strictly limited to 5,000 numbered copies, and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, this UltraDisc One-Step 33RPM 180g LP set dramatically expands the soundstages and eradicates a dryness that many critics found inhibitive to the record's enjoyment. You can now hear the full perspective long deserved by the woodwinds, strings, and percussion, all of which come alive with superior definition and detail.

The beautiful presentation of this UD1S set befits the record's historical importance. Housed in a deluxe slipcase, it features a special foil-stamped jacket and faithful-to-the-original graphics that illuminate the splendor of the 1960 LP. This reissue is made for discerning listeners who desire to fully immerse themselves with the album. And who wouldn't want to go deep with Sketches of Spain?

Why Isn't This UD1S Pressed on MoFi SuperVinyl?
Sketches of Spain is one of the few Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab UltraDisc One-Step releases since the advent of MoFi SuperVinyl that is pressed on 180g black vinyl rather than MoFi SuperVinyl. Why? Quite simply, it sounds better on 180g black vinyl. After closely auditioning Sketches of Spain on several different vinyl profiles — a time-consuming and expensive endeavor no other label pursues — MoFi's expert engineers determined the music on this 1960 album translates with superior definition, clarity, presence, dynamics, and balance on this format. The opening of MoFi's sister plant, Fidelity Record Pressing — and its peerless ability to press dead-quiet 180g black vinyl — means the label's engineers now have more options when it comes to high-quality vinyl. All of which benefits the original artists and their intent, and you, the listener.
