George Benson / Give Me The Night
George Benson‘s 1980 album Give Me The Night will be reissued by Music On Vinyl next month.
The Quincy Jones produced record spawned a transatlantic top ten hit single with the irresistible title track, and Love X Love repeated the feat in the UK reaching number ten.
The album would go on to win a number of Grammy awards including Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for Benson.
This reissue sees the record pressed on 180g vinyl with original insert included. It is released on 1 December 2014.

Quincy Jones was hitting his commercial peak as a producer at this time. I’m sure the master tapes for his work 1979 – 85 must be prized possessions of the record companies, and 5.1 must be a realistic possibility for many of his albums. I’d quite like to here The Dude in 5.1.
I would love to see Audio Fidelity reissue this on SACD. I wonder if a multi-channel mix was ever done?
Fabulous album. Needs a super deluxe edition.
