UPDATE 2026
In 2002 we put up a 3/3 copy of Midnight Love that really knocked our socks off. We wrote:
With two STUNNING Shootout Winning Triple Plus (A+++) sides, this Midnight Love is certainly as good a copy as we have ever heard – exceptionally quiet vinyl too.
Here are just a few of the things we had to say about this amazing copy in our notes: “round and punchy”…”jumping out of the speakers”…”good size and weight”…”spacious and relaxed percussion and vox”…”top detail” (side two).
Drop the needle on Sexual Healing then sit back and relax as the rich, warm sound of analog sets the mood.
There’s good frequency extension up top and down low, with plenty of meaty bass and silky highs (just check out those bells).
What made it so good? Glad you asked!
This copy has two qualities which are essential if this music is to work its soulful magic: silky vocals and a big meaty bottom end.
Check out all the texture to the synths on Turn On Some Music – this is a highly resolving pressing which takes Marvin Gaye’s music — the last he would make before his death — to another level.
