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.

@6t5-gto,

Here's my impression of this lp…

I don't have but one copy for comparison and it's a re-issue. I found the sonics to be a joy. Frankly I was impressed. I read others saying it lacked bass. Not IMO. I wonder if they are comparing it to the other UD1S releases? My only complaint is sides one & two are off-center. Two is the main culprit.
(I have so many lps awaiting me, I'm going to put this one off for a while.)
Mine arrived today. I was hoping it would be low numbered, since I ordered it within an hour of the email arriving in my inbox. It is #1111.
Is this title never going to ship until they (MD) gets 100% orders?

If so, isn't this kin to a subscription service?
@djf1 , @jperry ,

Yep...you all are correct. I looked it up yesterday. Can't figure out where I got that from? Thanks for correcting me.
@djf1 ,

It is my understanding that their first Donald Fagan and their second Simon & Garfunkel, are 4/one sided lps.

To my knowledge, there are only two titles out right now.
@bdp24 ,

Your 2nd characteristic , was left out...

Eric... (my friend), you may have a future in politics?

@whart ,

You just posed one of the reasons I bought this title. First, I own only one copy. I’ve never spent one minute of my time searching out this title. (The fact that I rarely go to the Hoffman forums , is a bonus for me)

Your system is very revealing , I’m sure. Having taken in your above response, it is important for most of us to understand that fact and relate it to our systems.

Cheers!

You currently post the cost of the records you like that (I assume you own) that you've paid hundreds of dollars for,
so your mild condemnation of this particular title has me somewhat confused?
This is the latest ultra disc one-step process for (vinyl). Each disc has only one side of music, less steps in the entire production...…….
