Wow, and that was just released a year ago. And I didn't realize MFSL CDs were still being made. Can anyone here hear the difference between a Mobile Fidelity CD and a regular one - or for the modern CD era, is that more of a marketing ploy? I mean, it seems with 0's and 1's, a label could remaster a CD to sound great so I'm not sure what MFSL offers that a regular remaster doesn't (whereas for Mobile Fidelity vinyl, I get where the difference could be heard because it was supposed to be better quality vinyl.)

The glitch is also present on the 2024 MFSL SACD reissue of the "Whitney Houston" album.

Interesting that the skip/glitch is also on the "Whitney Houston" vinyl! Somehow, after the master was made for Elektra, the tape they gave Arista (for their master) had the anomaly. (I wonder if Sony even knows).

And until this thread, I didn't even realize that 45 version was on digital platforms. On Spotify, it doesn't even co-credit Whitney as a singer!

The skip is also on the original Whitney Houston vinyl LP. So the anomaly is on every Whitney album (vinyl/CD/digital) in existence.

For archiving purposes, I will replace with the 6.02 length on Love Language. To create the commercial single length create a fade starting at 5:00 to 5:18, but the Digital 45 is readily available. ]]> Tue, 17 Jun 2025 23:30:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6345&PID=66972&title=teddy-pendergrass-w-houston-hold-me#66972 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6345&PID=66970&title=teddy-pendergrass-w-houston-hold-me#66970 Author: eriejwg

Can someone please allow me to hear the "Hold Me" from the Pendergrass CD?

I just checked out "Hold Me" on the "Whitney Houston" release and hear the skip or weird sound there (at 0:18). Since I used the Pendergrass CD for my source on my CDRs and in my phone, the sound you're referring to is definitely not there. ]]> Tue, 17 Jun 2025 00:31:50 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6345&PID=66968&title=teddy-pendergrass-w-houston-hold-me#66968 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6345&PID=66967&title=teddy-pendergrass-w-houston-hold-me#66967 Author: prisdeej

All CD pressings of Whitney Houston original and later, and the deluxe edition on CD/digital have the skip at :18. I cannot speak for the original vinyl LP. The original Asylum commercial 45 and digital 45 do not. Thank you for confirming Love Language is skip-free, Gordon. ]]> Mon, 16 Jun 2025 23:03:15 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6345&PID=66967&title=teddy-pendergrass-w-houston-hold-me#66967 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6345&PID=66966&title=teddy-pendergrass-w-houston-hold-me#66966 Author: EdisonLite

Hi Andy, I have the Pendergrass CD. PM me. I never really noticed a difference (in terms of generation of tape on this song) between his Asylum album and Whitney's Arista album. But then again, I never compared them side by side. Also, I'm not good at knowing when something's a clone of another CD. (I actually have no skills in that department. :) But there are other people here who do.

I only have one source from my CDs that I had loaded into my iTunes and I don't hear any glitches or dropouts at 0:18, listening on headphones. I just checked my notes to see which CD I had used as the source. I thought Houston but it turns out it was Pendergrass. So guess that answers that (unless you're hearing something that I don't).

Yes, and you're right.  There is no drop out on the Teddy Pendergrass album, and it doesn't suffer from that awful distortion on the Whitney album.
