Marvin Gaye "What's Goin' On" MFSL UDOS 45rpm


Well I did it, I pre-ordered this title. I hated in one sense to legitimize the high cost of these releases but this title intrigued me. On top of that, this is the first to incorporate their newest vinyl formulation which seems to me to be close to the original JVC vinyl. According to Music Direct, the cost of the vinyl is 30% higher.? Anyway, it seems to be a classic title and this new formulation along with the fairly new process, it seemed to be THE choice for me to try it out.

Hey, I don't think this Marvin Gaye (which I already ordered a copy of from my favorite local store) will be different than the Simon and Garfunkel one step in that it will be two-sided, not one-sided. 

I have tried to find a good copy of this record in the last MFSL version for a while, that was not crazy scalper pricing, without a bunch of success so I am very stoked to have this one coming in as the S&G is amazing. 
I also have two copies of the Hendrix Axis (one mono and one stereo) on pre-order and can't wait for them to come in (they are UHQR pressings, different than the one steps).

Fyi, if'n anyone has an extra copy of The Nightfly One Step I have an extra sealed copy of S&G  Bridge I will swap ya? 
I think the business term for this is "good business."
The pre-orders sell out before they finish production, the quality is astounding, they keep trying to improve the process so the demand is high. This is just good business. 
I would much rather pay $125 for a mint/unplayed reissue with untouchable sound quality rather than $300-400 for a VG+ to Excellent copy of an original pressing any day of the week. 
@slaw my copy from MD arrived today, you must be special to get yours so early?
I am very happy with mine (#2311). side 3 is so great, dynamic, staging is really good.
I'm happy, you?
