Our Take

Marvin Gaye's iconic album "What's Going On" is back with a bang in its 50th Anniversary Edition, and let me tell you, it's a revelation, darling! From the moment the needle hits the groove, you'll find yourself transported into a soulful world of love, loss, and social commentary that only Marvin Gaye can deliver.

The remastered tracks sound smoother than a freshly buttered crumpet, with Gaye's velvet vocals leading the charge through hits like "What's Going On" and "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)." The addition of unreleased tracks and alternate mixes gives fans a peek behind the curtain of Gaye's creative process, showing just how much heart and soul went into each and every note.

But it's not just the music that shines on this anniversary edition – the packaging is a real treat for the eyes, with stunning artwork and insightful liner notes that will have you poring over every detail for hours on end. Plus, the bonus material, including a live recording of Gaye's legendary 1972 concert at the Kennedy Center, is the cherry on top of this already delectable musical cake.

So, dear readers, if you're looking for a musical experience that will leave you dancing, crying, and pondering the state of the world, look no further than Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" 50th Anniversary Edition. It's a timeless classic that deserves a spot on every music lover's shelf. Cheers, Marvin – here's to another 50 years of soul-stirring masterpieces!
