Re: Vinyls (99,356) (99,359) by Bill from the UK Yes I must say The Rarities vinyl is probably the best one. I love the presentation of the whole thing. I also have that promo box set called 12's that was released in 1998. At the time, MC said that #1's was going to be the hits on 1 disc and a 2nd disc of remixes. I wonder if 12's is what the 2nd CD would have consisted of? Either way, we eventually got The Remixes and then all the MC30 EPs so we got remixed out. Even though, for those of you that remember my little remix series I was running at the time, several did not make it onto the EPs. #JusticeForTheReggaeSoulMixesofABMB (Monday 3 January 2022; 16:45)

Re: Vinyls (99,353) (99,357) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Bill, I have Glitter on vinyl. If you want it, send me an e-mail: info@mcarchives.com. (Sunday 2 January 2022; 23:39)

Re: Vinyls (99,349) (99,356) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I feel so lucky to have Glitter for all the original artwork for sure. The shop I found it in, the man who owns the shop said they only pressed 2000-2500 Glitter vinyls. The arrangement of the songs is amazing as well. All the dance jams are on one vinyl and all the ballads on a other one. It's perfect for parties because you don't loose party momentum by a ballad coming on. Oh I have the Rarities on vinyl as well; I forgot that. Also, super glad to know #1s is on vinyl. I have Whitney's My Lobe is your Love vinyl, so I've got When You Believe, but it cost $350. I'd Love to hear Whenever You Call on wax. (Sunday 2 January 2022; 21:47)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey's annual Christmas cash in ends (99,350) (99,355) by Anonymous from USA I can think of another word for the person who wrote that, but I'd rather not say. Happy New Year to everyone. Wishing much success to MC in 2022. She needs to shut up the haters with a killer album, we know she's got it in her with her pen game and unique voice.

Re: Mariah surprises fans (99,343) (99,354) by 123 from USA @Will. Thank you. At least someone else agrees. I say remix and revamp as many of your old songs as you want. It's not like we are getting new albums every other year. I want more music. Preferably new music but I'm good with waiting as timing is everything. And let's say the remix's come out horrible. They are going to come and go with a blink of an eye. The album versions are still accessible for all to enjoy. The remixes might be part of the masterclass she is doing this year that focuses on writing and producing. (Sunday 2 January 2022; 18:36)

Re: Vinyls (99,345) (99,353) by Bill from the UK Hi Matty. I have all the original vinyl releases (debut through to joining Def Jam) except Glitter and #1's. You're right, Glitter is super rare and I was really disappointed it wasn't re-issued for the 20th anniversary. I then got the re-releases when they came out for MC30 as the vinyl quality is much better. I avoided the colour versions as black vinyl both wears better, lasts longer, and sounds better. I was pleased they were all faithfully replicated from the originals, except that the original Butterfly vinyl release opened with the Bad Boy Mix of Honey, not the original. In terms of singles, I have pretty much everything from the debut through to Rainbow, except Without You 12", which very rarely appears and when it does, is in awful condition and far too expensive. It's not as if "I can't live, if living is without the 12 inch vinyl release of Without You", so that gap in my collection doesn't annoy me too much. Bobby A was kind enough to get me the bottle green version of the debut when it was released. A beautiful item that I got purely because it looks so attractive. Like Mariah.

Re: Article: Mariah Carey's annual Christmas cash in ends (99,350) (99,352) by Nicole from US He is such a hater. But I did remember back in the day he wasn't like this. He's such an ageist when he himself is like 100 plus years of age. Is Mariah the only one he writes like this? (Sunday 2 January 2022; 16:59)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey's annual Christmas cash in ends (99,350) (99,351) by MusicfanJ from Germany The person who wrote the article may be a little Grinch but he's not wrong. As much as I love MC's Christmas songs, it's time for something new. A Jazz album. Happy New Year everyone. Stay save and sound. (Sunday 2 January 2022; 14:03)

Article: Mariah Carey's annual Christmas cash in ends (99,350) by Chicago Lamb from USA This guy sounds like a grinch, no? (Sunday 2 January 2022; 13:45)

Re: Vinyls (99,345) (99,349) by Bobby A from United States I read again that you have Glitter on vinyl with all the original artwork. You have something very rare in your hands, Matty. I lost a bid on one eBay copy to the highest bidder for $400. (Sunday 2 January 2022; 12:54)

Re: Vinyls (99,345) (99,348) by Bobby A from United States I have all of her albums on vinyl that were made available on her store and other online retail companies in 2020. I have all of her 12 inches and promo 12 inches that were released on vinyl in the U.S. when you could go to a record shop and buy 12 inches. I was able to recently purchase the following on Ebay: #1's Glitter - DJ promo copy Men In Black soundtrack - Make You Happy Luther Vandross's Songs album Sweetheart - 12 inch promos Memoirs box set Yours - remix promo vinyl Butterfly picture disc Daydream - Vinyl Me Please edition Caution - picture disc from MC's store Merry Christmas - 20th anniversary edition Merry Christmas II You - black vinyl edition Caution - black Vinyl edition Obsessed remix promo vinyl I have all of the Walmart and Target exclusives.

Re: Article: Mariah celebrates topping Hot 100 for another week (99,344) (99,347) by ktktkt from Philippines Doesn't need to be consecutive. Remember her WBT also topped BB100 non-consecutively for 14 weeks. (Sunday 2 January 2022; 07:56)

MC's store expectation (99,346) by Bobby A from United States I am expecting some huge vinyl items to be dropped in MC's store this year. What if she released Someone's Ugly Daughter on vinyl and CD. What about The Rarities 2 being released. She has to make it big in 2022. What if five new versions of Butterfly songs is included with 6 new songs titled The Butterfly Lounge. MC said herself that what is coming is more than The Roof and this and that. Mary J. Blige did something similar with Mary J Blige and Friends and Reflections: A Retropective. I think that I am on to something. I know there is a love/hate relationship for me on this board, but I do think outside of the box. We should have a huge announcement sometime after Valentine's Day. (Sunday 2 January 2022; 03:51)

Vinyls (99,345) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I was at Indigo/Chapters bookstore today and they had a huge Mariah vinyl display of all her vinyls at the main entrance spanning all albums (Holla ), Got me wanting to ask, what MC vinyls do the vinyl collectors on this forum have? I'm a huge collector and have hundreds of vinyls that I love blasting during parties. Of Mariah, I personally own Emotions, Daydream, Butterfly 25th anniversary edition, Rainbow, Glitter (rare af, and it's all official artwork and release etc.), Charmbraclet, TEOM, E=MC2, MOAIA, Me I Am Mariah, Caution, Merry Christmas and MCIIYou, #1 to Infinity. I'm only missing Music Box (which is boring, absolutely perfect vocals, however boring content and sleepy) and the debut (which I'm shocked I don't have yet) and #1s (which I don't know if it's on vinyl). Thanks for sharing what you all have. (Sunday 2 January 2022; 03:41)

Re: Article: Mariah celebrates topping Hot 100 for another week (99,331) (99,344) by Will from England Would she? I thought it had to be consecutive weeks to get that back? (Sunday 2 January 2022; 00:25)

Re: Mariah surprises fans (99,336) (99,343) by Will from England Because that's what she's always done? Taken a song of hers, deconstructed it and re-imagined it for the remix with new vocals, potentially new lyrics and other song samples? Only difference here is that she's using an old song. And why not? Let her have fun, the WBT redo was quite enjoyable and got her to be creative again, something she couldn't really do since the rules regarding what constitutes a remix changed and she was stuck with just keeping the studio vocals and having them over a dance beat, given the odd exception here and there (I'm assuming that's why that re-sung version of HATE U or Beautiful were never released as they wouldn't have helped the original song with the charting). (Sunday 2 January 2022; 00:24)

Re: Fisticuffs and #Beautiful (99,340) (99,342) by RibbonB from USA You made it seem like M., Miguel and Happy had nothing to do with co writing the song. (Saturday 1 January 2022; 17:07)

Re: Mariah surprises fans (99,336) (99,341) by 123 from USA @Bill. She is promoting it so why wouldn't it be. She's wearing the same dress she wore while doing all her virtual press for it. She didn't have to bother with the fans but she did anyway. Not sure why this is so bad and everyone is thumbing up the diss instead of the video. Wierd [sic]. (Saturday 1 January 2022; 16:44)

Re: Fisticuffs and #Beautiful (99,338) (99,340) by Bobby A from United States However, the Fisticuffs didn't have any part of producing the song. The backstory is Miguel called in Mac Robinson, Brian Keith Warfield, Happy Perez and Brook "D'Leau" Davis for a songwriting session. MC and Miguel got together and he presented her with the unfinished song from the session. (Saturday 1 January 2022; 14:36)

Happy New Year (99,339) by RibbonB from USA Wishing everyone better. (Saturday 1 January 2022; 10:48)

Re: Fisticuffs and #Beautiful (99,333) (99,338) by RibbonB from USA The song was co written by those three as well as the writers you mentioned. Makes sense that they would co produce the song. (Saturday 1 January 2022; 10:47)

Re: Mariah surprises fans (99,336) (99,337) by Bobby A from United States Hopefully, she will make the Lambs happy. I guess she is treating the The Roof like a remix but is not saying that because of trying to keep the details of project under wraps. I know one song that she will never touch. That song is Fantasy. She still receives airplay for Fantasy. (Saturday 1 January 2022; 03:04)

Re: Mariah surprises fans (99,335) (99,336) by Bill from the UK Lol, that was one giant ad for McDonalds. I'm very nervous about her messing with The Roof. That song is perfection. Why paint a peacock? (Friday 31 December 2021; 23:08)

Mariah surprises fans (99,335) by 123 from USA It's really cool that she did this recently. Taking advantage of technology to still reach out to fans virtually can really make someone's day. Kind of excited to see what this The Roof mix is going to give. (Friday 31 December 2021; 21:46)
