Rickie Lee Jones
(Item #: jonesricki_1911)
Our Price: $129.99
- An outstanding copy of this Singer Songwriter Classic with both sides earning Double Plus (A++) grades for sound or close to them - exceptionally quiet vinyl too
- Both sides are big and clear, with plenty of warmth and richness befitting an all analog recording, even one from as late as 1979
- The superbly talented musicians and engineers deserve much of the credit for turning Rickie's debut into a Must Own Audiophile Favorite (and Grammy winner too)
- 4 stars: "One of the most impressive debuts for a singer/songwriter ever, this infectious mixture of styles not only features a strong collection of original songs but also a singer with a savvy, distinctive voice that can be streetwise, childlike, and sophisticated, sometimes all in the same song."

Rickie Lee Jones - Rickie Lee JonesMoFi Reviewed
(Item #: jonesricki_mofi_reviewed)
Sonic Grade: BAnother MoFi LP reviewed, and this one's pretty good for a change.
The Mobile Fidelity pressing of this album can actually be pretty decent (if you get a good one, that is). Audio perfection it ain't, but all in all it's a very enjoyable record. Its strengths are many and its faults are few. Let's give credit where credit is due; the MoFi is dynamic, transparent, sweet, and open, and you won't hear us saying that about very many MOFI pressings. It belongs in their Top Ten, toward the bottom I would guess, due to its own sloppy bottom, but that's half-speed mastering for you.
