Midnight to Midnight is the fifth studio album by the English rock band The Psychedelic Furs. It was originally released in early 1987, on the label Columbia. Richard Butler later claimed that the success of "Pretty in Pink" caused the band to be pressured into entering the recording studio to record a follow-up release before they were ready. The result was Midnight to Midnight, their greatest commercial success, yet an album Richard Butler later characterized as "hollow, vapid and weak". A more overtly commercial effort than the Furs had ever recorded before, the album also featured the single "Heartbreak Beat", which proved to be the Furs' biggest Top 40 entry in the US at that time. The album also featured drummer Paul Garisto and saxophonist Mars Williams, both of whom continue to tour with the band.
All tracks composed and arranged by Richard Butler, John Ashton and Tim Butler, except where stated.
The 1986 remake of "Pretty In Pink" only appears on the original UK/Euro cassette and CD issues.
Official music videos were produced for the singles "Heartbreak Beat" and "Angels Don't Cry", with the latter work directed by British filmmaker Tim Pope.
