Hear the 1980 Album in Audiophile Sound for the First Time on Vinyl: Mobile Fidelity’s Numbered-Edition 180g 45RPM 2LP Set Presents the Gold-Certified Record with Exceptional Presence, Detail, and Black Backgrounds

1/4" / 15 IPS Dolby A analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe

The regal strings and successive gunshots that announce the start of Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School encapsulate the contrasts Warren Zevon deftly navigates on an album that further telescoped his witty, neo-noir songwriting to a broad audience. Recorded as the Chicago native struggled to overcome toxic addictions and advance from a soured marriage, the 1980 record showcases his interest in classical arrangements and knack for incisive observation, tongue-in-cheek fun, and heartbreaking emotion. 

Sourced from the original analog master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP set presents Zevon's fourth album in audiophile sound. Co-produced by Zevon and longtime studio partner Greg Ladanyi, Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School benefits from key collaborations with ace musicians such as Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, Ben Keith, Waddy Wachtel, J.D. Souther, and Eagles members Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh, and Don Felder. Their contributions, as well as the steadiness and punch of Zevon's small combo, can be heard with unhindered detail, presence, and pacing. 

You will experience wide instrumental separation; dynamic elements that underscore the depth of the rhythms; transparency that traces a through-line to the original sessions at the Sound Factory; warmth on a par with prized analog recordings; naturalism that elevates the body and tenor of Zevon's vocals; and revealing levels of openness, balance, and imaging. Everything from the .44 Magnum that Zevon fired into a barrel of sand to capture percussive effects at the beginning of the title track to the variety of slide, pedal, lap-steel, and electric guitars used throughout comes through with engaging clarity.
