Whitney Houston – Whitney

Specific features:
- Slightly different label artwork, as well as the layout of the information printed on the labels, e.g. on label A there is "Ltd." printed at the bottom of the label, which other two very similar 1987 pressings don't have
- Album came with a printed inner sleeve (portrait on one side, lyrics & credits on the other side).
- Runout inscriptions are machine-etched, except for the separately hand-etched Roman numerals at the end, e.g. variant 1, side A/B: "IV"/"II"
- NOTE: There are variants with and without bass clef, they all belong here, including their runouts, please check Sonopress's page and notes concerning bass clef and the lack of the same.

Similar 1987 pressings:
Release 7870220: artist/title printed on labels are the same as on this pressing, but information layout is different, most obvious example, lack of the last row with "Ltd." on label A
