To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Marvin Gaye’s seminal Motown classic What’s Going On, Universal are proud to present this exclusive Super Deluxe Edition. A meditative act of artistic rebellion, What’s Going On broke the Motown mould. The album introduced Marvin Gaye, the company’s sexy prince, as an uncompromising singer, songwriter and producer. From the first day of release, the unique concept album was recognized as a masterwork; his lyrics, stories and grooves remain timeless. This 40th Anniversary edition has coupled the much adored music with the wonders of modern day mastering to produce an unparalleled and previously unattainable insight into Marvin’s showpiece.
The set, which focuses on Marvin’s LP and post-LP Detroit recordings, includes a fully remastered version of What’s Going On including original mono hit singles; the original, rejected, “no strings” mix of the title track; several post-album outtakes; his single sequel, “You’re The Man”; and a series of recordings, mostly instrumental, made in Detroit before Marvin followed Motown to Los Angeles.
