The Holiday Album That Turned Mariah Carey into the Queen of Christmas: The Singer's Blockbuster Merry Christmas Exudes Joy, Spirituality, and ConvictionPresented in Reference Sound and Strictly Limited to 3,000 Numbered Copies: Mobile Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 33RPM LP Set Plays with Superb Detail, Openness, and DefinitionMariah 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 it's magic. It seamlessly ties together Christian, gospel, and secular threads and speaks to a boundless audience, independent of denomination. And the album remains inescapably connected to 'All Want for Christmas Is You,' the uptempo anthem that towers as one of the biggest-selling singles in history.Strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies and featuring the bonus track 'God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen,' Mobile Fidelity's 30th anniversary edition UltraDisc One-Step 180g 33RPM LP set of Merry Christmas makes her spellbinding performances come alive like never before. Benefitting from the extra detail and definition gained from the one-step process, the music takes on a heightened energy and anticipatory emotion synonymous with the holiday season. Carey's vocals explode with liveliness and dynamics, the full scope of her acrobatic range presented in transparent sound that practically places her on a small stage in your listening room. In every regard, this is a reissue you better add to your wish list.Mobile Fidelity UltraDisc One-Step ProcessInstead of utilizing the industry-standard three-step lacquer process, UltraDisc One-Step (UD1S) uses only one step and bypasses two processes of generational loss.
