Вінілова платівка Carey, Mariah - Merry Christmas 2LP (0198028043915)

Mariah Carey didn’t become the Queen of Christmas just because of her fervent love of the holiday. The iconic singer earned her title by way of her blockbuster Merry Christmas, a 1994 album that quickly joined the likes of Bing Crosby’s White Christmas and Nat King Cole’s The Christmas Song as an all-time holiday vocal classic. Featuring a balanced mix of inspired originals and well-chosen covers, Carey’s fourth studio record has only grown in stature as new generations discover its magic. Having re-entered the Top 200 charts every year since 2019, Merry Christmas ranks as one of the three most commercially successful holiday LPs ever made and, in due time, will likely earn the top distinction in that class. It seamlessly ties together Christian, gospel, and secular threads and speaks to a boundless audience, independent of denomination. And the global blockbuster remains inescapably connected to “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” the uptempo anthem that towers as a holiday standard and one of the biggest-selling singles in history. Featuring the bonus track “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen,” Mobile Fidelity’s 30th anniversary edition 180g 45RPM 2LP set (strictly limited to 4,000 numbered copies) and numbered-edition hybrid SACD versions of Merry Christmas breathe with a newfound openness and transparency that enhance the spirituality, passion, and festive tenor of Carey’s singing. Her signature vocals explode with liveliness and dynamics, the full scope of her acrobatic range presented in clear sound that practically places her on a small stage in your listening room. In every regard, these are reissues you better add to your wish list.
