Fourplay - Elixir

Fourplay — Elixir 30th Anniversary Limited Edition

Part of the Chesky Original Masters Series

One-Step plating and pressing on 180-gram 2LP standard black vinyl

Elixir was the third album from the Grammy-nominated smooth jazz supergroup comprised of pianist Bob James, guitarist Lee Ritenour, bassist Nathan East, and drummer Harvey Mason. The follow-up to the band's gold-certified first two albums — 1991's Fourplay and 1993's Between The Sheets — 1995's star-studded Elixir featured vocal cameos from Phil Collins ('Why Can't It Wait Till Morning') together with Patti Austin and Peabo Bryson, who duetted on a fabulous remake of Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway's classic soul hit, "The Closer I Get To You." Other highlights include the instrumentals "Play Lady Play," "Magic Carpet Ride," and the simmering title track, which all highlight the band's tasteful alchemy. Elixir has sold more than 500,000 copies in the United States and was certified gold by the RIAA.

The 30th Anniversary Edition of Elixir is newly remastered from the original tapes. Released on 180-gram One Step Pressing standard black vinyl.

One-Step vinyl is the ultimate vinyl pressing, meaning the vinyl is pressed from the stamper made directly from the lacquer, minimizing noises and loss of details.
