Description
James Jamerson’s little offbeat tug into the second verse of “What’s Going On” still catches me every time. Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On is the rare soul LP where the conversation, the groove, and the prayer all sit in the same chair. “What’s Happening Brother” keeps the pocket soft but insistent, “Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)” floats on David Van De Pitte’s strings, and “Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)” closes the loop with that fade-back tag that feels like a neighborhood chorus.
This pressing gives the music proper room to breathe. The low end sits deeper and the space between congas, bass, and multitracked vocals opens up, so you can trace the Funk Brothers’ interplay without losing the warmth. We spin it often in the Melbourne shop and it never wears thin.
File it next to Curtis Mayfield, though Gaye’s arranging is plusher and the group chatter keeps it communal rather than solitary. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Marvin Gaye records online with us. The art still looks elegant on a big sleeve and the sequencing rewards a full playthrough, front to back.
It’s a cornerstone soul record that still sounds like tomorrow, not yesterday. Order online now or swing past our Preston shop to pick it up.
