DEEE-LITE: WORLD CLIQUE (Ltd.MoFi.Num.Exp.Ed.180gm 2LP Reissue)(MoFi2026)

Limited Numbered/Expanded Edition 180 Gram 2LP reissue w/heavy stock tip-on gatefold sleeve. *45RPM. *Mobile Fidelity release. *Limited to 2000 copies. *Includes replacement inner/outer plastic protectors. De-lovely, Delightful, and Truly Delicious: Deee-Lite's World Clique makes deliriously fun dance magic with House, Funk and Soul Music. Includes 'Groove Is in the Heart' and contributions from Bootsy Collins, Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley. A rare club album that crossed over into the mainstream and became an international success, 'World Clique' seemingly came from out of the blue from a band whose whimsical, quasi-psychedelic name, Deee-Lite, hints at the sheer fun, quirky personality & humorous flair within it's diverse borders. Renowned for the smash 'Groove Is in the Heart', ranked #233 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and No.2 on Billboard's 100 Best Dance Songs of All Time, the 1990 record is a good-time dive into funk, house, disco & pop waters that never fails to put a smile on listeners' faces or a spring in their clog-heels step. Sourced from the original master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, strictly limited to 2,000 numbered copies, and housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 45RPM 2LP set presents 'World Clique' in audiophile quality for the first time. One of the most important aspects of the effort - rhythmic grooves, natch - tremendously benefits from the fact the 48-minute album gets spread across 4 sides. The upgrade allows for a boost in groove velocity and near eradication of inner-groove distortion all the while enhancing high/low-frequency reproduction. Unless you've got the long out-of-print 12" singles from this Billboard Top 20 set, you've never come close to hearing how good it sounds. Delovely. Delightful. And truly delicious. 1/2' / 30 IPS analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe. Tracks include: -Side 1- A1 Deee-Lite Theme A2 Good Beat A3 Power of Love -Side 2- B1 Try Me On...
