Mobile Fidelity

Established in 1977, Mobile Fidelity (MFSL) is a renowned label specializing in remastering major-label music for the discerning "audiophile" market. With CD releases starting in 1984, MFSL has become synonymous with high-quality sound reproduction.

Known for their meticulous attention to detail, MFSL releases often feature unchanged copyright dates from the original release. However, most of their releases are issued a year or so later. The first Gold Ultradisc™ CD was introduced in February 1987, followed by the Gold Ultradisc II™ (Made in USA) CD in September 1992.

MFSL takes pride in their branded labels and ensures that all their releases are remastered by their own Sound Labs. Their catalog of releases can be found on the "Sites" section. Notably, limited editions were prevalent during the label's early years and featured an information sticker on the shrink wrap. Additionally, numbered retail copies often had corresponding unnumbered promotional versions.

Whitney Houston was an American singer, songwriter, model, and actress. She was born on August 9, 1963 in Newark, New Jersey and sadly passed away on February 11, 2012 in Beverly Hills, California at the age of 48.

At just 14 years old, Whitney was discovered by a talent scout and went on to sing with her mother on a track called "Life's A Party." Her career took off when she made her TV debut on "The Merv Griffin Show" in April 1983 after signing a recording deal with Clive Davis and Arista Records. One of her most iconic performances was singing "Home" from the musical "The Wiz."

In addition to her successful music career, Whitney appeared in several films. Her breakthrough role came in the movie "[url=http://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Bodyguard-Original-Soundtrack-Album/master/61126]The Bodyguard[/url]" (1992), which featured the Grammy Award-winning soundtrack. The film's single "I Will Always Love You," originally written by Dolly Parton, became one of the best-selling singles of all time.

Whitney did more than turn Whitney Houston into a pioneering sensation known around the world by her first name. Originally released in June 1987, the singer's blockbuster sophomore record became the first album by a female artist to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart — a position it claimed for a total of 11 weeks en route to selling more than 10 million copies in the U.S. The Diamond platinum effort also contains four No. 1 Hot 100 hits that, when combined with the three chart toppers from her 1985 debut, gave her seven consecutive No. 1 singles — an accomplishment that no other artist has accomplished. Commercially and creatively, Whitney stands on hallowed ground — especially now that the record plays with a sound that puts into perspective just how extraordinary, engaging, and vital Houston's music remains.

Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed on MoFi SuperVinyl at RTI, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 33RPM SuperVinyl LP of Whitney invites listeners to experience the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame inductee's pivotal album in audiophile quality for the very first time. Free of the dynamic limitations and tonal flatness prevalent on prior vinyl and CD pressings, it lets the music breathe and reveals the copious detail, nuance, and texture within the immaculately produced songs. MoFi's SuperVinyl profile offers further advantages in the forms of a nearly inaudible noise floor, dead-quiet surfaces, and superb groove definition.

In addition to featuring extreme clarity and immediacy, this numbered-edition reissue does wonders for the attribute that inspired more than 20 million people around the globe to add Whitney to their record collections: that inimitable voice. Houston's trademark mezzo-soprano — an acrobatic instrument equally capable of taking off on fantastic flights and unwinding for hushed meditations — benefits from the fantastic airiness and transparency afforded by this meticulously restored edition. Whitney has never sounded or looked better. The crossover landmark deserves nothing less.
