The Definitive Version of the Quadruple-Platinum 1982 Album: Mobile Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP Box Set Plays with Full-Range Dynamics and Extraordinary Openness

Van Halen's winning track record with cover songs can be traced back to its 1978 diamond-platinum debut. The ambitious approach, which shows off the band's diversity, creativity, flair, and fun, takes precedence like never before on Diver Down. Featuring five covers, three of which became radio staples, the album sprung from the band's desire to remain relevant while taking a breather after four massively successful records and their respective tours. More than four million copies later, suffice it to say Diver Down achieved its goal.

Sourced from the original analog tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and strictly limited to 7,500 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP set presents the 1982 album in definitive sound. All the traits you associate with Van Halen - dynamic energy, distinctive tonalities, vivid detail, rhythmic attack,tongue-in-cheek playfulness, midrange punch, throttling intensity - emerge with involving presence. Diver Down can here be experienced with unparalleled transparency, balance, definition, and, if you so choose with your volume settings, concert-like solidity, scope, and decibel levels. The advanced degrees of separation, imaging, and fullness will grant you a fresh perspective on a record that began under the auspices of a one-off single. Diver down, temperature up!

Mobile Fidelity UltraDisc One-Step Process
Instead of utilizing the industry-standard three-step lacquer process, UltraDisc One-Step (UD1S) uses only one step and bypasses two processes of generational loss. In addition to revealing extra musical detail and dynamics otherwise lost due to the standard copying process, the UD1S technique produces a final LP with the lowest noise floor possible today.
