MARVIN GAYEWhat’s Going On (UMC)

HIT remains one of the greatest soul albums ever made. Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On broke the Motown mould, a concept set that established him as singer, songwriter and producer. This 40th anniversary Super Deluxe Edition, spread across two CDs and a vinyl LP, opens with the original setlist, including the iconic title track, Mercy Mercy Me, Inner City Blues and Save The Children. Then there’s a wealth of out-takes, mixes, instrumentals and rarities plus a booklet full of facts and photos. PC
