Marvin Gaye [1972/2014] - Where Are We Going? [Motown #B0020266-11]

This track was recorded in 1972 for the album 'You're The Man' which was a studio album, originally intended to be released in 1972 as the follow-up to 'What's Going On' as another socially conscious album. However, following the release of the title track as a single, Gaye cancelled its release, partly due to the song's reception, but also owing to the fact that Gaye's political views were different to those of Berry Gordy. 

The album 'You're The Man' was posthumously released on March 29, 2019, on vinyl and digital, and April 26, on CD, through Motown/Universal to celebrate what would have been Gaye's 80th birthday on April 2, 2019.  The album includes the single of the same name, as well as the intended original full album plus some other songs Gaye recorded at the time.

15 of the 17 songs had not previously been released on vinyl, but most have been available on CD compilations over the years.
