This numbered 180g Mobile Fidelity pressing presents Bill Withers Greatest Hits on heavyweight vinyl for improved playback stability and analogue presence. The 10-track collection includes Just the Two of Us, Lean on Me and Ain't No Sunshine for a concise listening experience.
If you struggle with thin digital reproductions or noisy low-weight pressings, this MoFi 180g LP helps by providing heavier vinyl mass for reduced warping and steadier cartridge tracking so your system can reveal more low-frequency detail and natural midrange.
- Numbered limited pressing for collectibility and traceable edition status
- 180 gram heavyweight vinyl to reduce warps and improve platter stability
- 10 tracks total including Just the Two of Us and Lean on Me for essential Withers songs
- Standard LP format compatible with 33 1/3 RPM turntables and common tonearm setups
- Pressed by Mobile Fidelity identified on the sleeve for recognized pressing standards
Use this LP in a home stereo or vinyl-focused listening session to hear analogue dynamics and tactile playback. Unlike low-weight reissues that can introduce surface noise and tracking issues, a numbered 180g pressing offers more consistent performance and collector value. Compared to streaming, the vinyl format gives you a physical edition to archive and display.
Backed by Mobile Fidelity pressing attribution and the numbered edition note, this release is presented with verifiable pressing details for collectors and listeners seeking documented analog quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this numbered 180g Bill Withers Greatest Hits LP good for audiophiles?
Yes. This numbered 180 gram pressing is well suited to listeners looking for improved vinyl playback because the heavier vinyl offers greater mass that can reduce resonance and improve tracking stability. The numbered designation also signals a limited press run and typically tighter quality control during manufacturing, which collectors and serious listeners value. The selection of classic, well-recorded tracks like "Ain't No Sunshine" and "Lean on Me" also helps reveal detail on a careful system. This pressing benefits audiophiles, collectors, and fans who use a properly set up turntable and a high-quality cartridge. Limitations: sound differences depend on the mastering and the playback setup, so the full benefit requires good cartridge alignment, a clean stylus, and proper tonearm setup.
How does this numbered 180g pressing differ from standard vinyl pressings?
This numbered 180 gram release differs from standard pressings mainly in three ways: weight, edition control, and pressing intent. The heavier 180g vinyl is physically thicker, which can reduce susceptibility to warping and can give a steadier contact with the platter. The fact it is numbered indicates a limited or collector-focused run with more attention to batch tracking during production. Finally, these pressings are often produced with an emphasis on manufacturing quality and packaging. Who benefits most: collectors, buyers seeking durability, and listeners who want a presentation-grade LP. Caveat: not every 180g or numbered pressing will sound markedly different from a standard pressing; actual sonic differences depend on mastering, lacquer cutting, and the pressing plant.
Will this LP work on my turntable and what setup should I use?
Yes. This LP is a standard 12 inch album and will play on virtually any modern or vintage turntable that handles 33 1/3 RPM records. Because it is a heavier 180g pressing, ensure your tonearm and cartridge are properly set up: check cartridge alignment, anti-skate, and tracking force according to your cartridge manufacturer to avoid excessive groove wear. Use a clean, appropriately shaped stylus (elliptical or fine tip for best detail) and play on a stable, level platter for optimal speed stability. Who benefits most: owners of belt‑drive or direct‑drive turntables and anyone who maintains basic setup. Limitation: poorly calibrated automatic players or worn styli may mistrack thicker pressings and can damage the record or reduce sound quality.
How should I care for this numbered 180g vinyl to keep it sounding its best?
Keep it clean, handled carefully, and stored upright to preserve sound quality. Before each play, use an anti-static carbon fiber brush to remove dust from the grooves and reduce surface noise. For deeper cleaning, use a purpose-made vinyl cleaning solution or a record-cleaning machine and always allow the record to dry fully before playback. Store the LP vertically in its inner sleeve inside an outer jacket, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and high humidity to prevent warping and sleeve degradation. Who benefits most: collectors and regular listeners who want long-term preservation. Limitation: avoid household solvents and abrasive cleaning methods, which can damage the groove surface.
How long will the sound quality last if I play this album regularly?
With proper care the sound quality can last for decades. The 180 gram pressing is physically more robust and less prone to warping, and careful practices such as using a clean, well-aligned cartridge, brushing before play, and storing the record correctly significantly reduce groove wear. Typical lifespan varies with usage patterns, but gentle regular play with good equipment often preserves playback quality for many years. Who benefits most: regular listeners who maintain their playback gear and collectors who rotate their collection. Limitation: frequent plays with a dirty or badly aligned stylus will accelerate wear and degrade audio much faster, so maintenance and setup are essential.
