Cyndi Lauper – She’s So Unusual (Vinil 140g, LP)

Probably no other musician embodies the incipient heyday of MTV better than Cyndi Lauper. Extravagantly dazzling outfits, pink years and a hyperactive self-confidence that was unparalleled – long before Lady Gaga and Madonna could elevate anything remotely resembling punk to a style suitable for the masses, Cyndi Lauper appeared on stage with exuberant self-confidence and boorish attitude to celebrate life: Girls just want to have fun. With over five million albums sold and four top ten placements, she landed one of the surprise hits of 1984. But anyone who reduces Lauper to appearances is not doing her justice. She’s So Unusual’ is a multi-layered debut album by a many-faced artist – and smarter than her provocatively girlish voice might suggest at first glance.

Like a whirlwind, Lauper throws herself into party hits like ‘Girls Just Want To Have Fun’, only to intonate the emotional ballad ‘Time After Time’ shortly afterwards.She interprets her songs with a mixture of sentimentality and rebelliousness that probably reflects her personality as accurately as it rarely does.Whether perceived as a subversive new wave crossover statement or a celebration of individuality, ‘She’s So Unusual’ is a musical milestone of the ’80s and, thanks to MFSL’s Silver Label remastering, is now available on vinyl again after many years.The LP cut was done by Paul Stubblebine at MFSL’s Sebastopol studio and the LP sounds like the recordings have gotten much bigger and stronger over the past few decades.

Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab Silver Label

Under the product name Silver Label, MFSL has been releasing a new series of LPs since early 2011. These are remastered and cut at Mobile Fidelity on the mastering chain designed by Tim de Paravicini and pressed on 140g vinyl at RTI in Los Angeles. The packaging meets the same high standards as the well-known Original Master Recording series with a lined rice paper inner sleeve, a protective intermediate sleeve and a sequential serial number on the outer cover. Mobile Fidelity is planning a series of experimental releases as well and is willing to make do with a copy of the master tape in this series if the original tape cannot be provided. All LPs will be released as limited editions and are likely to become sought-after collector’s items.
