Available For The First Time In Over 50 Years Transferred From The Original Analog Four-Track Master Tapes Blu-ray With 192/24 Resolution Quadraphonic And Hi-Res Stereo Mixes MIAMI (1974) stands as a high-water mark for the James Gang’s second era, featuring the blazing guitar work of Tommy Bolin. Produced alongside Tom Dowd, the album leans into a sun-drenched, bluesy hard-rock sound.
From the driving sprint of “Cruisin’ Down The Highway” and the funky “Do It” to the soaring “Miami Two-Step,” the album crackles with Bolin’s fiery solos and the band’s skintight rhythms. Quadraphonic sound, or 4.0 surround sound, utilizes four audio channels connected to four speakers positioned at the corners of a listening space. The multi-tracked audio is mixed dimensional, immersing the listener in an expansive soundscape.
