I'm going to get it! I know it's eventually going to sell out within the next month, maybe this week if those stock number levels are true! Whiteny Houston is such a great album and knowing the pressing sounds excellent and that the packaging is marvellous means it's must for me! It's going to be an album that really stands out in my collection!

Damnnnn, really stoking my FOMO there.
I have sold a good bit on discogs recently and have like $100 sitting there but was hoping to use that towards new speakers or the Stones Box set from the udiscover sale...hmmm

Just wonder could a flipper have bought the missing 200 copies as some seem to offer high numbers of VMP editions on Ebay?

No idea actually, it was like 4-5 days since I had check! It was always moving though! Like at the start, it was like at 1500 copies, and it's just always been moving gradually. Can't imagine like 150-200 copies suddenly selling in the last 4 days though, unless there was an announcement on Whitney Houston's Facebook or something!

I'm happy it's been selling really well though! Happy for the release as its a glorious album, the mastering and sound quality is excellent and for VMP who did it!
 
for what i might buy for on the 2nd..

my list includes Ivy Sole and Fiona Apple but im also wondering about getting the minecraft OST.. but its kinda overpriced seeing as you can buy it with fancy colored vinyl on ghostly for 23 bucks, or get the black vinyl with lenticular cover for the same price. but then my brain might get OCD and think "wait a minute i should own volume alpha if im getting volume beta and if i have the lenticular of beta i should have the lenticular of alpha and thats never being repressed so im doomed"

Yes, it's pressed at GZ but so are albums like Jorge Ben! And that Jorge Ben pressing sounds stellar! When GZ don't screw up a pressing, it can sound exceptional, and I guess that's been the case with the Whitney Houston!

Yeah, GZ isnt a dealbreaker for me by any means. But $70 for a 2 disc where I only want disc 1 is.

I'm not a remix guy in general. I definitely don't need a bunch of dance remixes of a classic album on Vinyl.

The Whitney "box" is SO expensive and pressed at GZ.

The box is expensive though, 100%! I'm just glad it got the special treatment and that Ryan Smith mastered it! I like the inclusion of the extra disc actually, as it was like a Japanese release, dance EP thing that came out the year after Whitney Houston!

$70 is really expensive, but worth for me and I guess for a lot of others if it's been selling so well

Looks like the cancelling add-on after swapping trick no longer works! You can cancel but if you try to add and swap again, it's still locked into your old swap.

Sigh. I may have to drop my add-on tracks in protest. Bit by bit, they have successfully managed to strip "membership" of all benefits. I come and go as it is, but inching closer to staying away for good.

If they sold this exact product sans the second disc for like $45-50, it probably would have been gone awhile ago.

I actually didnt know it came out the year after the original album release, makes it a bit more fitting. But that price tag is still just too high.

Yeah, the EP was called "Whitney Dancin' Special" and came out in 1986! I thought the same too that it was fitting as it's like original stuff, from that era! But, it's still nothing special in my opinion, some of the remixes are great, but I don't see myself spinning the EP much unless I want just some uptempo Whitney Houston and no ballads.

The price tag is high but I'm going to do it because I love the album so much and apparently this is the best sounding version of the album. And I'm looking forward to the booklet too and seeing the colour variant in person too!
