“Rise”, the instrumental number on this the album of the same name, was written by Andy Armer and Randy 'Badazz' Alpert, and first recorded by Herb Alpert. In 1980 the recording received a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. Reaching number one on the Billboard charts, this is a classic example of late ‘70’s jazz-funk genre.
Beginning in 1977, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MFSL) earned a reputation for high-quality audio from its “Original Master Recording” vinyl LPs, utilizing a half-speed mastering process with the Ortofon Cutting System. The albums were remastered from the original analog master tapes as recorded in studio, and not later generation copies of that tape. Pressed in Japan on JVC’s "Supervinyl", an improvement even to 100% virgin vinyl, the process served to lower the noise found when using recycled impure vinyl, as had become common in the US in the ‘70’s. Also, this process and material improves durability, thus increasing the lifespan of a disc far in excess of mass-produced LP’s.
