LOS ANGELES – Rhino High Fidelity (Rhino Hi-Fi) continues its premium audiophile series with a trio of celebrated albums from Dusty Springfield, Cher, and Joni Mitchell. The latest installment of the limited-edition vinyl reissue series features Dusty in Memphis, 3614 Jackson Highway, and Court and Spark.

 

Cut from the original master tapes by Kevin Gray and pressed on 180-gram black vinyl at Optimal in Germany, these releases feature glossy gatefold packaging with “tip-on” jackets and newly written liner notes. They are limited to 5,000 individually numbered copies and available today exclusively at Rhino.com and select Warner Music Group stores internationally.

 

Dusty in Memphis arrived in 1969 as a soulful departure for Dusty Springfield. Recorded at American Sound Studio under the direction of Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd, and Arif Mardin, the sessions paired the British pop icon’s breathy vocals with the “Memphis Boys” house band. The result was a landmark fusion of pop and R&B that—while only peaking at #99 on the Billboard 200—has since achieved legendary status. Now a permanent fixture on “Greatest Albums of All Time” lists, Dusty in Memphis has been inducted into both the GRAMMYÒ Hall of Fame and the National Recording Registry.

 

Cher also tapped the Wexler-Dowd-Mardin production team in 1969 for 3614 Jackson Highway, her lone outing for Atco Records. The album takes its title from the street address of the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio where Cher recorded with the legendary “Swampers.” These sessions centered on her distinctive contralto with gritty, soulful interpretations of songs by Bob Dylan, Otis Redding, and Dr. John. Though the record flew under the radar at the time, today it’s regarded as one of the finest, most authentic vocal showcases of her career.

 

Joni Mitchell reached a creative and commercial high-water mark with 1974’s Court and Spark, an album that signaled her move from folk toward a sophisticated, jazz-inflected pop sound. Recorded with the jazz-fusion ensemble the L.A. Express, the record became the most successful of Mitchell’s career, peaking at #2 on the Billboard 200 and producing her highest-charting singles, “Help Me” (#7) and “Free Man In Paris” (#22). A critical juggernaut, the album earned three GRAMMYÒ nominations—including Album of the Year—and won for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s) for “Down To You.” Today, it remains a cornerstone of the 1970s singer-songwriter era.

 

Rhino High Fidelity continues to tap into Warner Music’s vast catalog, introducing reissues of seminal albums across genres—from rock and pop to jazz, soul, and beyond. Each title pairs uncompromising audio with archival-grade packaging, honoring the album’s original intent in both sound and design.
