Fourplay Elixir (30th Anniversary Edition) One-Step Transparent Black Coloured Vinyl (2 LP)

"Elixir" is the third album by the smooth jazz supergroup Fourplay – consisting of pianist Bob James, guitarist Lee Ritenour, bassist Nathan East and drummer Harvey Mason. The previous albums "Fourplay" (1991) and "Between The Sheets" (1995) were already certified gold: "Fourplay" sold over a million copies and stayed at number 1 on Billboard magazine's "Contemporary Jazz List" for 33 weeks. "Between The Sheets" also reached No. 1 and was nominated for a Grammy. With "Elixir", Fourplay managed to top the success: The longplayer, released in 1995, climbed to number 1 in the US jazz charts and held its own there for more than 90 weeks! In the United States alone, "Elixir" sells over 500,000 copies and has been awarded gold by the RIAA.
The star-studded album features guest appearances from Phil Collins ("Why Can't It Wait Till Morning") as well as Patti Austin and Peabo Bryson, who sang a fantastic duet to Roberta Flacks and Donny Hathaway's classic soul hit "The Closer I Get To You." Other highlights are the instrumental pieces "Play Lady Play", "Magic Carpet Ride" and the seething title song. For the 30th anniversary of this great album, Evosound now presents the definitive edition of "Elixir": remastered from the original tapes and pressed as a double LP, in the superior one-step process, on 180 gram "Transparent Black" vinyl (33 rpm)!
