180g Vinyl Reissue Remastered From the Original Analogue Master Tapes & Cut At Abbey Road Studios

Across the nine albums he released with 20th Century Records between 1973 and 1979, Barry White established the new sound of orchestral soul that became an enduring R&B staple. Fifteen years after his untimely death in 2003 at the age of 58, Mercury celebrates White’s legendary label run by remastering these long out of print albums from their original analogue master tapes for the first time since the ’70s. Presented with the original sleeve and label art, the 180g vinyl reissues were cut at Abbey Road Studios in London to guarantee the highest possible audio quality.

White’s self-produced fifth album with 20th Century Records, Let The Music Play, was released in January 1976 and climbed to No. 8 on Billboard’s R&B albums chart, No. 42 on the Billboard 200 and No. 22 on the UK chart. The album yielded three charting singles, including “Let the Music Play,” which peaked at No. 4 on Billboard’s R&B chart and No. 9 on the UK singles chart. “You See the Trouble with Me” reached No. 14 on Billboard’s R&B chart and No. 2 on the UK singles chart, while “Baby, We Better Try to Get It Together” reached No. 29 on Billboard’s R&B chart and No. 15 on the UK singles chart.
