MARVIN GAYE/LET'S GET IT ON STMA 8013 (-73) UK

 The ninth Marvin Gaye LP I'm posting here. For the others please check  https://monolover.blogspot.com/search?q=(G%C3%96JI*)&max-results=20&by-date=true  . All there are classic sixties Motown, solo or duet, slow or uptempo, melodic and catchy, though not often with any kind of concept, just good collections of songs. But this, his twentieth, can be called a true theme album and the theme is - erotica. Though recorded at several occations between 1970-73 in different studios it's still put together as a cardinal entity, blending soul and funk music to sexually charged lyrics. It became his most successful album and have since been widely regarded as landmark for its genre. Listening today I'm taken on a very smooth ride through titles like "Just To Keep You Satisfied", "Keep gettin' It On", "Come Get To This" and "You Sure Love To Ball", all certainly pointing in the same direction. Now over fifty years later the lyrics themselves may not come out too daring, but together with the suggestive music it still has the ability to catch. Full album below so You can see if You go with the groove. Issued and reissued on vinyl and CD all over the world through the years, also cassette, 8-track, blue ray and file. Premiere US on Tamla (T 329V1). US 2001 2xCDcame with thirtysix bonus tracks, including demos, alternate mixes and versions.
