Whitney Houston 180gram SuperVinyl LP
$59.98
/
Confident, powerful, and prodigiously talented, Whitney Houston
forged her own parameters with Whitney Houston. In the
process, she obliterated the stubborn lines between R&B and
pop, Black and white radio. The singer dared to reimagine who
could be a superstar and then went out and defined the role. It
all circles back to her debut which, viewed solely through the
lens of sales numbers, is a watershed statement on par with the
most commercially successful and culturally dominant LPs ever
released. Having sold more than 14 million copies in the U.S.
and upwards of 25 million units worldwide, the 1985 LP became
the equivalent of the television show or blockbuster film that
everyone collectively experiences and discusses. Nearly four
decades later, it’s lost none of its appeal or magnetism — and its
artistic significance and historical import have only grown.
Mastered on Mobile Fidelity’s renowned mastering system, the label’s numbered-edition 180g SuperVinyl LP and hybrid SACD of Whitney Houston present the breakthrough in audiophile sound for the first time. The signature traits Houston exhibits on every song — her three-octave range, radiant warmth, personal conviction, impossibly controlled register — come across with exceptional clarity, focus, and presence. Free of artificial ceilings and constricted dynamics, these reissues play with an openness, airiness, and balance that put the singer’s once-in-a-lifetime instrument and immortal artistry into proper perspective. They do the same for the songs’ cascading melodies and captivating arrangements. Each composition feels grander, closer, more genuine. This is how an album that changed the direction of popular music should look and sound.

1. You Give Good Love
2. Thinking About You
