To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Marvin Gaye\u2019s seminal Motown classic What\u2019s Going On<\/em>, Universal are proud to present this exclusive Super Deluxe Edition. A meditative act of artistic rebellion, What\u2019s Going On<\/em> broke the Motown mould. The album introduced Marvin Gaye, the company\u2019s 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\u2019s showpiece.<\/p>\n

The set, which focuses on Marvin\u2019s LP and post-LP Detroit recordings, includes a fully remastered version of What\u2019s Going On<\/em> including original mono hit singles; the original, rejected, \u201cno strings\u201d mix of the title track; several post-album outtakes; his single sequel, \u2018You\u2019re The Man\u2019, and a series of recordings, mostly instrumental, made in Detroit before Marvin followed Motown to Los Angeles. The Motor City theme of this edition continues on the included 12-inch: the LP\u2019s rare, original \u2018Detroit Mix\u2019 on vinyl for the first time.<\/p>\n

The overall package also includes rare and unseen photography from throughout the recording process and the detailed and remarkable story behind What\u2019s Going On<\/em>.
