THE HOLIDAY ALBUM THAT TURNED MARIAH CAREY INTO THE QUEEN OF CHRISTMAS: FEATURING THE STANDARD “ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU,” THE SINGER’S BLOCKBUSTER MERRY CHRISTMAS EXUDES JOY, SPIRITUALITY, AND CONVICTION
Mastered from the Original Master Tapes: Mobile Fidelity’s Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD Plays with Superb Detail, Openness, and Clarity
Mariah Carey didn’t become the Queen of Christmas just because of her fervent love of the holiday. Or as the result of a brilliant marketing plan. 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, A Jolly Christmas from Frank Sinatra, 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. Mobile Fidelity’s 30th anniversary edition reissue of Merry Christmas makes her spellbinding performances and upper-tier register come alive like never before.
