Dr. Vibes’ 12 Days of Christmas – Day 6 – Marvin’s first record for Columbia after getting out of his Motown contract. Sadly it was his last completed work although Harvey Fuqua and Gordon Banks would go on to fulfill his contract by ‘cooking’ some unissued recordings for the ‘Dream of a Lifetime’ album. My vinyl copy is mint, so all stray clicks or pops were removed by hand. It’s so clean you can clearly make out the “It’s not good to masturbate..” in the fade-out of “Sexual Healing.” Modern medicine has proven him wrong about that, by the way..

A1 Midnight Lady 5:17
A2 Sexual Healing 3:59
A3 Rockin’ After Midnight 6:03
A4 ‘Til Tomorrow 4:58
B1 Turn On Some Music 5:08
B2 Third World Girl 4:35
B3 Joy 4:23
B4 My Love Is Waiting 5:08
