Collected

This double vinyl is an excellent career retrospective for Marvin Gaye, if a little concise. There are tracks on here I haven't heard before and that you don't see very often. The Masquerade is over is the earliest track, and gives us an idea of the crooning career Marvin would have liked to have early on. Heavy Love Affair and Sanctified are tracks from albums that only the most ardent fans are likely to have (the two on either side of the Midnight Love album which included Sexual Healing). Nearly every choice is fantastic; I probably didn't need the duet with Diana Ross (You are Everything); I might have swapped that with a track from Here, My Dear, which is not represented. The vinyl is flat, quiet, and heavy and the sound is excellent. If you only buy one MG album on vinyl, this would be a great choice.One other note - I notice the only one-star reviews are from people who were upset that it didn't arrive on blue vinyl. So, please take note that the vinyl is black.

Clean and sparkling remasters are the best I've ever heard. This is the once set to get if you're trying to get all the Gaye hits and classics in one collection. Much better than any Motown issues Marvin Gaye music and not compressed to death.

A reviewer said you don't get the red and blue colored records but I did and they sound great! Not to come off like I'm bragging! I hope no one has this description issue that others may have.

well what can I say about Marvin Gaye that hasn't already been said - nothing.so, the music is great as you'd expect. chronological order from the beginning in '61 to the tragic end. an excellent overview of a storied career.as with any greatest hits, there are a few missing. and while there are more comprehensive collections, Anthology for instance, some of the later hits are missing from them. the biggest are here. as for the record itself, I guess if the CD was significantly cheaper, I'd have bought the CD. this is obviously a digital copy.my system is optimized for analog, but my CD player as a second source is more than adequate. the pressing is as good as any I have, flat, noise free and well packaged. if you prefer the vinyl format go for it. although don't expect vinyl warmth. you' save a few bucks with the CD.either way you can't go wrong with this

What can one really say about an LP of Marvin Gaye? It’s perfect, just like his music always has been. I grew up with my mother singing these songs (she has a great voice) and when I put this on, it brings me back to my childhood and her telling me stories of working at a soul station in Jackson, MS in her late teens/early twenties. The music on this LP is carefully chosen out of the overall collection, picking mainstream songs that most people have probably heard, making this album a must-have for newbies and diehards alike.I love all types of music, and was raised with music in the house from both of my musical parents, but I find myself drawn to a few favorites time and time again. In my new house with my fiancé, I knew we had to have a record player, and I purchased only about 10 LPs that had special meaning to me. This is one of those and I love it! Record sound is so different from cds or streaming. It’s richer, deeper, and more round somehow. If you are a true music lover, I would highly recommend this album of favorites!

Audiophile recommended, a must for collectors, excellent packaging, sound quality , 29 songs in 2 180 grams vinyl.

The package arrived on time and looks great with a fantastic list of songs. My only issue is it wont play on 33 or 45 rpm. Is this a 78 rpm album? I don't see the speed listed in the description but every website i visited says it's a 33 rpm album but the songs sound like a chipmunk to me and my other albums play perfectly fine.

I love the Music On Vinyl "Collected" series. This is a high quality pressing, which is advertised as audiophile quality and I would agree. Everything from the dust jacket to the album weight scream quality On top of that, this is a collection of some Marvin's greatest works and the sound quality is amazing. Highly recommend.

I thought i knew all there was to know about MG but there was 4 tracks that I had not heard of, the album (vinyl) ,the album is Beautifully presented and the tracks well put together, if you don't have any MG start here

All dogs are on this album. A must have for all Marvin Gaye fans. All his music os in this. Highly recommended.

Fantastic vinyl excellent condition and arrived in record time :) very happy and highly recommend.

Bangin

Great Album, but this is NOT the limited edition version as stated. The limited edition (2500 copies on blue vinyl) has sold out. This is another batch produced on black vinyl and not a limited edition, hence only giving 2 stars instead of 5.
