Description
This auction includes the original inner sleeve promoting other Motown releases. I have not played this record in a while, but it is easily a VG+. It is, however, dusty and needs to be cleaned very well of the dust. I have since stored record in archival static free inner sleeve. Original paper sleeve is tucked inside the gatefold pocket.
I liked this post in Discogs:
"... I know that this album has been review millions of times, and even though Marvin Gaye had tons, and tons, and tons of great songs before "What's Going On", none, and I do mean none of his albums ever came close to this one! The fact that Marvin was so defiant of Berry Gordy, to go ahead with this bombshell of just great music, stuns the mind. We all know the story: Marvin was tired of being a pretty boy (just like Stevie Wonder was), and after talking with brother about Vietnam, and the tragic death of Ms. Tammi Terrell, Marvin could not take it anymore! He had to let it out, and what better way then through music! This is beyond an album, it's a documentary! The production of the record was also stunning, having it as a complete suite was priceless. I could go on and on, but why? You all know the deal, it worth you time, your attention."
Important notice The money you use to pay for this record is being put forth to fund my dream—launching my own independent record label. The label is slated to release its first limited edition multi-color vinyl piece in the winter of this year. Artist: very cool indie gal you've probably heard of. Thanks for the help! ****
