MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LAB RE-RELEASES JONI MITCHELL’S HEJIRA IN AUDIOPHILE QUALITY
LOS ANGELES, CA – (June 27, 2025) – Legendary singer-songwriter, Joni Mitchell’s certified gold 1976 album, Hejira, has been given the audiophile treatment courtesy of Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MoFi), a leader in high-fidelity audio reissues. Beginning today, the album is available for order as an UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM SuperVinyl 2LP Box Set (here) and as a Hybrid SACD (here). Marking the first time the revered LP has received audiophile treatment, Hejira is one of six iconic 1970s Mitchell records MoFi is reissuing on vinyl and SACD.
An adventurous travelogue, probing narrative, and offbeat homage to freedom, Hejira remains an inimitable entry in the catalog of recorded music — a spare, gorgeous, meditative series of sonic vignettes comprised of floating harmonic pop, cool jazz, soft rock, and sensitive vocal elements that beckon feelings of motion, discovery, and self-examination.
Sourced from the original analog master tapes (1/4” / 15 IPS Dolby A analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe), pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing on MoFi SuperVinyl, and strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity’s UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP set presents the record ranked the 133rd Greatest Album of All Time by Rolling Stone with definitive detail, richness, accuracy, and directness.
Visually, the packaging of both reissues complements their identity as definitive copies. Hejira’s unforgettable album cover—a pastiche of 14 different photos Mitchell used a Camera Lucida to assemble into one image that’s anchored by a portrait of her in a stoic pose—and the interior shots of Mitchell skating on a frozen Wisconsin lake wearing a pair of black skates, black shirt, and fur cape, are faithfully reproduced.
The UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP Box Set is housed in a deluxe slipcase, with the LPs presented in foil-stamped jackets mirroring the original graphics. This version is for listeners who desire to become fully immersed in every aspect of Hejira. Meanwhile, the Hybrid SACD comes in mini-LP-style gatefold packaging, allowing fans to also examine the iconic artwork in detail.
