Midnight to Midnight is the fifth studio album by the English rock band the Psychedelic Furs, released on 2 February 1987 by Columbia Records.
Midnight to Midnight was produced by Chris Kimsey, who was known for his work with the Rolling Stones and had recently produced Marillion's best-selling studio album Misplaced Childhood (1985). A more overtly commercial effort than the Psychedelic Furs had previously recorded, Midnight to Midnight was their highest-charting album in the UK, peaking at number 12, yet lead vocalist Richard Butler later characterized it as "hollow, vapid and weak", and the album has been described as "over-produced and underwhelming". The album also featured the single "Heartbreak Beat", which proved to be the Furs' biggest Top 40 entry in the US at that time.
