A 50th anniversary deluxe edition of Marvin Gaye's seminal album "Let's Get It" is released today. The official 50th anniversary is 28 Aug.
The album, of course, has been reissued multiple times over the years
(Discogs lists no fewer than 175 versions). The original 1973 release had the first eight tracks. Various Deluxe
Editions have appeared with various combinations of bonus tracks over the years. The 50th
anniversary edition has the original eight tracks plus 33 bonus tracks, 18
of which are unreleased.
The new tracks (demos, re-recordings and instrumentals) are compiled from
different recording sessions, including the 1972 and 1973 sessions and the
David Van DePitte Sessions.
The album became Gaye's biggest selling album with the title track
becoming his second Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit following "I Heard It Through
The Grapevine" in 1968. Three further singles would also chart, "Come Get To This" (#3 R&B / #21 Hot 100), "You Sure Love To Ball" (#13 R&B / #50 Hot 100) and "Distant Lover" (#12 R&B / #28 Hot 100). Prior to "Distant Lover" being issued as an A side (it was originally
the flip to "Come Get To This") Gaye released several duets with Diana
Ross.
The album is available digitally, on CD, vinyl and Blu-Ray, but beware
as we believe that the full 41 track version may only available
digitally!
