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.
