Neotech Gets Nod for Gaye’s “What’s Going On”Neotech Vinyl Compounds Help Preserve Gaye’s Legacy

– Michael Fremer, Analog Planet

In an article by Michael Fremer, a widely renown vinyl industry critic for Analog Planet, posted a nod to Neotech Vinyl’s role in the re-release of Marvin Gaye’s vinyl album, “What’s Going On.”

Fremer said, “I compared my original RCA mastered and pressed original (Tamla TS310) with Mobile Fidelity’s 2008 1/2 speed mastered reissue (MFSL 1-314) and then with this “1 Step” version (UD1S 2-008) pressed on the new MoFi “Supervinyl” manufactured by NEOTECH VINYL and it’s difficult to believe these are sourced from the same tape. The “one step” destroys the others by a wide margin.” He continued, “The resolution of musical and spatial detail that’s smeared on the other versions is huge. I’ve heard complaints about there being “too much bass” but I think that’s what’s on the tape that’s previously been rolled off. This reissue is a major sonic step forward both for Mobile Fidelity and for vinyl reissues generally. It would be interesting to compare it to the master tape.”
