Dig! 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, and humorous flair within its 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, and pop waters that never fails to put a smile on listeners’ faces or a spring in their step.  

Sourced from the original master tapes, mastered by engineer Krieg Wunderlich, 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 four vinyl sides. The upgrade allows for a boost in groove velocity and near eradication of inner-groove distortion all the while enhancing high- and low-frequency reproduction. Unless you’ve got out-of-print 12-inch singles from this Billboard Top 20 set, you’ve never even come close to hearing how good it sounds.
