Marvin Gaye - 1973 - Let’s Get It On (Deluxe Edition) (2023)


Marvin Gaye - 1973 - Let’s Get It On (Deluxe Edition) (2023) @320



In a momentous celebration of its golden milestone, the iconic album “Let’s Get It On” by Marvin Gaye has returned in a lavish 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition. This release comes loaded with a treasure trove of 33 bonus tracks, an assortment of previously unreleased demos, alternate takes, and remixes that transport listeners into the heart of Marvin Gaye’s creative genius.

First released in the sultry summer of 1973, “Let’s Get It On” became an instant classic, an anthem of passion and intimacy. Now, five decades later, this Deluxe Edition takes us deeper into Marvin Gaye’s musical journey. Among the glittering array of bonus content are alternate mixes that reveal new facets of familiar favorites, forgotten singles that resurface to captivate a new generation, and fresh remixes that fuse contemporary beats with Gaye’s timeless soul.

What makes this anniversary edition truly special are the recordings that lay hidden in the vaults, preserved for aficionados and newcomers alike. The collection showcases precious gems from Gaye’s sessions with the talented arranger David Van DePitte, underscoring the intricate artistry that went into the making of the original album. The vocals-only recordings from 1973 add an intimate touch, a glimpse into the raw emotion and vocal prowess that defined Marvin Gaye’s signature style.

For those who have been touched by the magic of “Let’s Get It On,” this Deluxe Edition is an unparalleled gift. And for those new to Marvin Gaye’s musical universe, it’s an invitation to explore an era of soulful artistry and heartfelt lyricism. Dive into the lush arrangements, the velvety melodies, and the lyrics that continue to resonate across generations.

Feel the groove, embrace the passion, and relive the magic that has enthralled audiences for half a century. (StupidDope)

The Sid Presley Experience – Are You Experienced (The Complete Anthology) (2010)


*leeds - Before they became The Godfathers, this band was know as The Sid Presley Experience, who only released two singles, this anthology collects those singles together with BBC radio session tracks, live and remix tracks.  The version on discogs has 17 tracks but this version, which I think someone has home made, has a total of 25 tracks, will add a screenshot for the tracklist. I have two copies of this and the both have the same results on FTF, 22 tracks @320 1 track (15) @192 & 2 tracks (10 & 11) @96. So sorry but thats the way it comes!! I have looked for replacement tracks without success, thanks goes to who ever complied this home compilation.

Reggae: 3251 - 3275 @320

 


So it's Wednesday March 26th and we are sharing the next instalment (3251 to 3275) of this collection of reggae. Have just seen a post on Jnr site, saying that this collection will finish at 4444. So we still have a long way to go to the end. Will be back at the weekend with another instalment!! 

Jnr has made the decision to close the site down, which can't be an easy decision to make, but people giving him grief over the decision doesn't help anybody. You need to respect his choice and move on, the mix is continuing until track 4444 here on Vibes, so your still going to get the music. 

The links as normal are in the comments. If you discover a link not active in this series, then just shout in the comments and I will rectify the situation. They are all backed up in a mega account ready to re post!! Quickly and easily. 

Please don't forget if you take a copy then take the time to say thanks!! take's just a few seconds only!!

Marvin Gaye - 1971 - What's Going On (Deluxe Edition 50th Anniversary)


1971 - What's Going On (Deluxe Edition  50th Anniversary) @320


Motown’s “Prince Of Soul,” Marvin Gaye, was already a hit artist for nearly a decade when, in 1971, he reached new heights with his album What's Going On. An immediate landmark recording, it was the first of Gaye's albums to break the top ten of Billboard’s Top LPs, and quickly became Motown's best-selling record. To this day, What's Going On is hailed as one of the greatest albums of all time, earning the number one spot on Rolling Stone magazine’s 2020 list of “The 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time.”

On January 15th, in celebration of this groundbreaking album while also marking the 50th anniversary of the title song’s release as a single, UMe will be issuing collections that honor the depth of Gaye's album.

First, Motown/UMe has consolidated several What’s Going On-related releases into one new digital collection, What’s Going On: Deluxe Edition/50th Anniversary This includes the original album, plus 12 bonus tracks featuring each of the LP’s original mono single versions and their B-sides, two of which are different takes – “God Is Love” and “Sad Tomorrows,” an earlier version of “Flying High (in the Friendly Sky)” – while the pre-album single version of “What’s Going On” has no “party” intro and a false fade. Also included is the title song’s earliest mix, initially made as a reference for Motown’s in-house quality control department before horns and strings were added; a dramatic instrumental mix; a “Coffeehouse Mix” by Grammy-winning engineer Russ Elevado that emphasizes the track’s previously buried acoustic guitar, originally available on a Record Store Day exclusive 10” EP for the album’s 45th anniversary in 2016. Also included from that same 2016 release is a “What’s Going On” duet with Motown artist B.J. the Chicago Kid. Other tracks are an early working version of “Symphony,” written by Marvin with Smokey Robinson, in which Marvin sings over and over, “what’s going on?” while the song of the same name sat unreleased; and the instrumental “I Love the Ground You Walk On,” recorded during the same waiting period.

Fifty years later, the influence and meaning behind this legendary record continues to ring true. The single “What’s Going On” originated as a response to police brutality at a protest in Berkeley, CA and coincided with personal tragedy in Gaye's life as well as Gaye’s brother's time fighting in Vietnam. The compounding experiences sparked the poignant plea that became the full-length LP What's Going On. Calling out to a broken country, Gaye searched for reason and hope in a world that felt desperate and senseless; a sentiment that many share now more than ever.

Marvin Gaye continues to hold his place as one of the greatest singers, composers and producers of all time, and in this half a century What's Going On has proven itself to be one of the world's most unforgettable records. (Sound Knowledge)
