Boz Scaggs - Middle Man (2023 Remaster) - Japan SACD Hybrid

Credits: Boz Scaggs Description: [50th Anniversary of AOR] One of the Most Popular and Exquisitely Polished AOR Albums With its supremely sophisticated and stylish sound, this album capped off Boz’s AOR trilogy and marked the peak of his popularity. Under the direction of producer David Foster, the songs reached the pinnacle of refinement, and the dynamic sound was backed by a stellar lineup including Jeff Porcaro (drums), David Hungate (bass), Steve Lukather (guitar), and Ray Parker Jr. (guitar). “Breakdown Dead Ahead” (No. 15 on the US charts) and “Jojo” (No. 17 on the US charts) were released as singles. The tour included a performance in Japan at the time, which was so popular that it was broadcast on television. This Japan-exclusive release is a hybrid disc featuring a high-quality SACD stereo layer and a CD stereo layer. It is based on the 2023 remastered audio. The package features a 7-inch paper sleeve that reproduces the original LP artwork, complete with the obi strip from the original Japanese release.
