When America released their self-titled album debut in the U.S. in January 1972, few could have predicted just how perfectly this young trio would capture the sound of an era. With shimmering acoustic guitars, golden harmonies, and songs that seemed tailor-made for open highways and endless skies, America became one of the defining folk-rock albums of the 1970s.

From the instantly recognizable strum of "A Horse with No Name" to the wistful beauty of "I Need You" and "Sandman", this is the album that launched the band's career and helped set the tone for the decade's laid-back West Coast sound. It's a record that feels both intimate and expansive, full of youthful wonder and a timeless sense of melody.

America earned the band a Grammy Award for Best New Artist, went multi-platinum, and remains a touchstone for generations of songwriters and listeners alike. Collectors continue to prize early pressings for their warmth and musicality and now, this definitive audiophile edition delivers the album with greater depth, detail, and realism than ever before.

Cut from the original tape with meticulous care by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, and pressed on ultra-quiet, perfectly flat vinyl by Quality Record Pressings, America has never sounded so alive. Every guitar shimmer, every breath of harmony, every heartbeat of Dewey Bunnell, Gerry Beckley, and Dan Peek's chemistry is restored with breathtaking clarity.

America is a cornerstone of early '70s acoustic rock. It's evergreen magic, lovingly revived.
