King \u0026 Eric Clapton Riding with the King MFSL Vinyl (Use code: FREESHIPPING at Checkout Two Orders or More UK Only) Pre-order","description":"\u003cp\u003eEric Clapton was on a heckuva roll when he teamed with B.B. King on \u003cem\u003eRiding with the King\u003c\/em\u003e. The British icon boomeranged back into the mainstream in a serious way during the '90s courtesy of a standard-setting \u003cem\u003eMTV Unplugged\u003c\/em\u003eperformance, exceptional blues covers set, and a platter of all-original material that became one of his most commercially successful releases. Clapton continued the streak on his first collaborative album, an inspired and inspiring tribute to King that finds both guitarists at the top of their respective games.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from the original masters, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing in California, mastered by engineer Krieg Wunderlich, housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, and featuring two bonus tracks unavailable on the original versions, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g 33RPM 2LP set presents the 2000 album in exceptional audiophile quality. Transparent, clean, and crisp, it showcases the dynamic interplay between the two six-string pioneers with riveting presence and near-visceral physicality. This reissue's quiet surfaces and black backgrounds reveal deep-seated colors, accents, and textures that go hand-in-hand with the vibrant arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeparation is such that you can both distinguish and pinpoint the melodic sounds of Clapton's Fender Stratocaster and King's Gibson ES-355. Everything from in-the-studio directness to the wiry carry of the duo's oft-amplified strings emerge with dimensional body and pleasing realism. King's sweet lyricism, smooth bends, hallmark vibrato, warm tones, and economical thrift. Clapton's creamy phrasing, thick timbre, expressive pull-ons, and pentatonic scale-based lines. All rendered with extraordinary detail and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh degrees of imaging, balance, and definition also help put into perspective the contributions and chemistry of the supporting cast, which includes A-listers such as bassist Nathan East, drummer Steve Gadd, keyboardist Joe Sample, and organist Tim Carmon. They, along with guitarist Doyle Bramhall II and Andy Fairweather Low, were personally selected by Clapton. Many had already played with Slowhand in the studio and or on the stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"features\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumbered, Limited Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180g High-Definition Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e33rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMastered from the 24-bit \/ 44.1kHz Digital Master to Analog Console to Lathe (Except for Tracks 13, 14: 24-bit \/ 96kHz Digital Master to Analog Console to Lathe)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMastered by Krieg Wunderlich\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressed at Fidelity Record Pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStoughton Gatefold Jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Bonus Tracks: \"Rollin' and Tumblin'\" \u0026amp; \"Let Me Love You Baby\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"selections\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSelections\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide One:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiding with the King\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTen Long Years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey to the Highway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarry You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide Two:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree O'Clock Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelp the Poor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Wanna Be\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide Three:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorried Life Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDays of Old\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen My Heart Beats Like a Hammer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHold on I'm Coming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide Four:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome Rain or Come Shine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRollin' and Tumblin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet Me Love You Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Master Vinyl UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55538653987155,"sku":null,"price":79.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/3905\/9539\/files\/library-2D26ACF8-3842-4B7C-9C69-26522B6A6D71-L0-001.jpg?v=1792516350","url":"https:\/\/mastervinyl.shop\/products\/b-b-king-eric-clapton-riding-with-the-king-mfsl-vinyl","provider":"Master Vinyl UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
