Marvin Gaye What's Going On: Super Deluxe Edition on Limited Edition LP + 2CD

40th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition Newly Remastered From Original Analog Source!

Created 40 years ago as a meditative act of artistic rebellion, What's Going On broke the Motown mold. The album introduced Marvin Gaye, the company's sexy prince, as an uncompromising singer, songwriter and producer. From the first day of release until today, this album, produced in collaboration with David Van DePitte, has been recognized as a timeless masterwork.

This 40th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition includes a remastered version of the album on 2CDs plus 28 bonus tracks, 16 of which are previously unreleased plus a vinyl LP.

Features:
• 2CDs + Vinyl LP remastered from original analog source
• 28 CD bonus tracks/16 previously unreleased
• Original Mono versions of the LP's hit singles
• A previously unreleased original Quality Control test mix of What's Going On, mixed before Marvin had added strings, horns and additional vocals
• Several pre-album outtakes, recorded while Marvin was waiting for his single to be released including "Head Title," now in unedited form for the first time
• Several post-album instrumental jams with local musicians who included Ray Parker Jr., a series of recordings made in Detroit before Marvin followed Motown to L.A.
• The original single version of a sequel to the album, "You're The Man," as well as two alternate versions
• Gatefold booklet with rare photos, lyrics and new essays
