Marvin Gaye Take Two

Volume Two 1966 - 1970 (2016 UK Motown 96-track 8-CD box set of remastered albums, originally released between 1966 and 1970. Compising Moods Of Marvin Gaye, Take Two, United, In The Groove, You're All I Need, M.P.G, Easy and That's The Way Love Is.

This international version of Universal’s 2007 box set called 50 Greatest Songs (here called 50) follows the same track listing and sequence as the U.S. version, and it effectively (if a bit randomly) hits all the key songs from Marvin Gaye's seminal stay with Motown Records, from early hits like “Ain’t That Peculiar” and “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” through the urban jazz-pop of later songs like “Distant Lover” and “Trouble Man.” What it doesn’t have is anything from Gaye's short, subsequent stay with Columbia Records, which means “Sexual Healing,” certainly one of Gaye's greatest songs, is absent here: perhaps the one omission in a pretty comprehensive collection.
