Marvin Gaye

Marvin Gaye's 1971 Motown masterwork returns to vinyl in this 2-LP set marking its 50th anniversary (and delayed from 2021).  It features direct-to-analog mastering from the original tapes by Kevin Gray, and includes four tracks making their vinyl debut (including the "stripped" version of the title song) plus six mono single mixes and B-sides. It's all pressed on 180-gram vinyl in a tip-on heavy stock gatefold jacket with printed sleeves featuring lyrics, track details, a brief essay honoring arranger David Van De Pitte, and a main essay by poet Hanif Abdurraqib.
