Such a shame that the expanded edition of Whitney hasn't
been released. The success of the recent Kygo remix of
"Higher Love" (currently No.2 in the UK) does give me
some hope for a proper schedule of posthumous releases,
especially with Primary Wave Music Publishing acquiring a
50% stake in the Houston Estate' assets who'll want to
maximise their investment. Pat Houston did recently state
that an album of unreleased tracks was in the works -
perhaps these unissued Whitney era songs will be featured
on that?

Aaron,

Funny you should say that I was one of those lurkers who read the board religiously for years before. I posted on the Steve Hoffman boards and got to know thehitsman and thecdguy long before I posted here. If not for Pat allowing registration I would have still been lurking. I took the plunge to have access to the database to do the top 40 project right.

For the longest time I thought the board didnt have new members at all or the only way to be a board member was to buy a subscription. I would have been on here about 6 years ago. I was friendly with edtop40 for awhile before I even joined. So yes thanks Aaron for making it easier for people to share their info and for all of us to benefit.

Is it safe to assume that the situation remains the same with "Didn't We Almost Have It All", still no release of the version that was worked on
by an engineer to try to remove/lessen the distortion throughout the song? Obviously the 25th anniversary edition of the "Whitney" album never ended up
being released and now we're up to its 35th anniversary. I guess that's not going to happen anytime soon, either.

I was at the concert when she recorded the video for Didn’t We Almost
Have It All. Absolutely mind blowing how good she sounded. It was cold too.
I remember there was a pause in the concert I think right before this song
something about going live on MTV and had to wait til ready to go live.
Anyway a great performance. Too bad about the distortion on the master
vocals but no distortion here: Didn’t
We Almost Have It All

Wow, I guess I haven't been on this site since early July. (July 2 to be
precise! (I used to check it more than once a day for many years. But I
guess I've gotten busy). Still love the site. Anyway...

Yes you're correct, that version is likely not to come out, as the deluxe CD is
probably never going to come out. It was to have 3 unreleased bonus cuts
(And Whitney has very few unreleased songs). Oddly, the reason for this is
that after Whitney's death, Arista president Clive Davis didn't want to
release much of her music on CD. Such an odd approach and opposite to
Sony's Michael Jackson's approach. Maybe he feels he's preserving her
legacy by not releasing any 4CD boxed sets (yep, she's never had one!) or
anymore deluxe editions of CDs. I don't get that thinking. And now that
Legacy has moved to digital-only and vinyl, it seems like this will never
come out on CD. Of course, a 3rd party like Real Gone I'm sure would jump
on this but I don't think Clive is making it available to 3rd parties either.
