Marvin Gaye – What's Going On

This is my first Kevin Grey cut, and it is a very nice sounding cut, but I would definitely recommend the original over this one. The individual instruments can be heard more on the KG, but that kind of ruins the breathy atmosphere that I like a lot in the original. Also the bass is pretty hot and doesn’t have as much tone to it compared to the original.

The KG is definitely not hard to listen to, and if you prefer it over the original I think your opinion is completely valid, it’s just not for me.

Played on an ATLP120, amplified by an MCS 3226 reciever/preamp and RCA SP120 speakers.

Sounds kinda strange, like something is missing. Mine is not dynaflex, just regular weight vinyl.

This one would make a great candidate for a 33 MoFi Supervinyl reissue.

I have this exact same pressing except track A6 on the label does not overlap the writing credit on the label. Everything else is identical.

Beautiful amount of instrument separation! You can hear almost everything the bassist is doing at all times, and it sounds like marvin is in the room with me! I 100% recommend.

I know i cant really judge an pressing of a record i dont own but i got a very high quality losless rip of this album and compared to the SACD my mofi this is just phenomenal. There is such a sharpness to the sound. The highs are so high while the bass is still so bassy. Ive used that rip to test any new headphones i get to hear how they sound. Phenomenal

Lotta bang for your buck on this pressing imo. It’s very warm and enveloping, plenty of detail and a really great balance with the lows, mids, and highs. Smooth and punchy. Some slight noise but not a distracting amount.

This must have been issued with a non-promo label/sleeve as well. I have a copy with the same runouts, side 1 on the label (vs side one), and on the translucent brown vinyl. Barcode matches that of the promo as well.

Anyone who knows this album knows how insanely difficult it is to find early pressings of this masterpiece that are worth owning. Most were horribly done, and not doing justice to this spectacular piece of work. This is one of the absolute few that are very very well done. Suffice to say this pressing should be worth 75-100, easy. If you see one of these, snap it up without hesitation.

My copy has the same etchings but on black vinyl. Is it a new release or repress?
