Fans of Marvin's Sixties sound, take note!

Marvin Gaye had little regard for the bulk of his Sixties output, dismissing it as "assembly line" material. It's a shame he felt that way because he was such a gifted performer. This underrated underpromoted gem blew me away. I *love* the early Motown sound and this set added to the incredible output for which the Motown Sound was known and is remembered. This will stack up against anything Marvin had released--and, for that matter, the Four Tops, Temptations, and Stevie Wonder--from the same period. Download some of the samples and see if you don't agree. Excellent liner notes as well.

Give me more Marvin!

Again, Marvin proves to be a great artist! You can tell from these recordings that he was going places and beyond expectation. Some of these recordings, like "Baby I'm Glad That Things Worked Out So Well" were on the Motown Masters release, which came out sometime in the mid-80s. But, this version is far better than the Motown Masters release.

Track 1 - the best song about love ever!

This is great! The first song just does it for me, as well as 'Son of a Gun', just magic! Not the power or importance of subject of 'What's Going On', or funky like 'Trouble Man' this is pure sexyness on CD! It sounds like sweet as honey ans soft as really really soft things!
