Audio Fidelity 24K Gold and New Target Series Vinyl Releases on 2011 Year End Best Lists
Powerline, the metal website, named the Riot LP as the best vinyl record release of 2011 and MetroTimes chooses Crosby, Stills & Nash as #1 of the Top 5 Reissues of 2011
Best Vinyl Record Release: Riot — Fire Down Under (Audio Fidelity)
And an audiophile release to boot! (superior quality 180 gram virgin vinyl). Audio
Fidelity reissues one of the greatest hard rock albums of all time on vinyl.
Whether you haven’t heard it or already treasure it, this is the piece of vinyl to
pick up. Fire Down Under is the album that got the band Riot recognized. And
it’s easy to understand why when you listen to a song like “Swords and
Tequila.”

MT's Managing Editor shares with us his top albums and reissues of 2011
Top 5 reissues
#1 Crosby, Still & Nash Crosby Stills & Nash (Audio Fidelity) Never mind this
album is likely centerpiece in your parents' album collections, it's still a
peerless debut that at once captured Laurel Canyon's Manson-era mellow mafia
and the entire nation in an insane war. And this numbered, limited edition gold
CD is the one to own. First time it was ever mastered from the original source
tapes, by one Steve Hoffman, this historical reenactment offers a level of
resolution and dynamics heretofore unheard, vinyl or otherwise.
