LOS ANGELES, CA – (May 2, 2025) – Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MoFi), a leader in high-fidelity audio reissues, is proud to announce the 55th Anniversary Edition audiophile format release of Miles Davis’ RIAA-certified Platinum Bitches Brew as an UltraDisc One-Step 180g 33RPM 2LP Set, available at mofi.com.
Even 55 years later, Bitches Brew still sounds far ahead of its time. The template for jazz fusion is ranked by virtually every significant outlet among the 100 greatest albums ever made. Sewn together with vibrant colors, voodoo textures, and ethereal moods, the 1970 landmark emerges with supreme detail and nonpareil feeling on Mobile Fidelity’s UltraDisc One-Step 180g 33RPM 2LP set. Sourced from the original master tapes (1/4″ / 15 IPS analog master to DSD 64 to analog console to lathe), strictly limited to 5,000 numbered copies, and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing in California, this definitive-sounding anniversary reissue enhances every element of a double album that established new possibilities for studio recording techniques.
Gathering a Hall of Fame-worthy lineup of musicians and tweaking it according to his desires, Davis follows through on his idea to “put together the greatest rock and roll band you ever heard.” He conceived Bitches Brew by having the musicians stand in a semi-circle. There, he pointed at them with vague directions for tempo, solos, and cues. The collective improvisation and interplay spawned a galaxy of melodies and grooves that were later spliced together by producer Ted Macero. Central to his proposition is the presence of two (and sometimes three) drummers and two bassists, a tactical move that makes rhythms a central focus. Akin to the futuristic album cover art, the drum-driven suites head toward distant universes and uncharted territories. Benefitting from the ultra-low noise floor and superb groove definition of this pressing, these distinct creations take shape with utmost realism. At once hypnotizing and grooving, they chart maverick adventures via quixotic rock, funk, and R&B elements.
Bitches Brew also boasts visionary artwork. By design, the lavish packaging and gorgeous presentation of the UD1S Bitches Brew set call attention to such matters. Housed in a deluxe slipcase, it features special foil-stamped jackets and faithful-to-the-original graphics that illuminate the splendor of the recording. It is made for discerning listeners who desire to fully immerse themselves in everything surrounding the album, from the images to the tones. And this is one effort where every detail matters.
