Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MoFi), a leader in high-fidelity audio reissues, announces 30th anniversary editions of Mariah Carey's iconic nine-times-Platinum holiday album, Merry Christmas. This definitive collection will be available in three formats all sourced from the original master tapes: a Hybrid SACD (order HERE), a numbered-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP (limited to 4,000 copies, order HERE), and a numbered-edition UltraDisc One-Step 180g 33RPM LP (limited to 3,000 copies, order HERE). These releases are scheduled to ship to customers on December 13th, making them the perfect addition to a Yuletide celebration.
For the first time ever, Merry Christmas will be available on SACD and the groundbreaking UltraDisc One-Step format at 33RPM. The UltraDisc One-Step (read more) offers unparalleled detail, depth, and dimensionality, allowing listeners to experience Carey's powerhouse vocals and timeless classics like "All I Want for Christmas Is You" with breathtaking clarity and warmth. Available in audiophile quality for the first time since its original release three decades ago and featuring the bonus track “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen,” the record breathes with a newfound openness and transparency that enhance the spirituality, passion, and festive tenor of Carey’s singing.
Mariah Carey's reign as the Queen of Christmas began not just with her love for the season, but with the phenomenal success of her blockbuster Merry Christmas. Released in 1994, the album quickly joined the ranks of holiday classics like Bing Crosby's White Christmas and Frank Sinatra's A Jolly Christmas. 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. A global hit, it seamlessly ties together Christian, gospel, and secular threads and speaks to a boundless audience, independent of denomination. MoFi's reissue captures the magic of this timeless collection, showcasing Carey's signature vocals and masterful range with breathtaking fidelity.
