MARV GAYE – I WANT YOU (REMIX STEMS)

Marv Gaye. The one love, of urse, is the "Prce Of Motown" himself, Marv Gaye and the object of his affectns is the lovely Janis Hunter wh whom Marv had been a relatnship sce 1973 when he was legally separated om wife Anna Gordy Gaye.

MARV GAYE – I WANT YOU (2X MULTRACKS)

In his book, "Divid Soul: The Life and Tim of Marv Gaye, thor David Rz talks about this very thg. He tells of his nversatns wh Gaye ncerng how he viewed life and sexualy and Marv was always tryg to bridge the Physil and Spirual aspects of life.

Rerd 1975-1976 "Marv's Room, Hsville Wt" rerdgs studs built pecially for Gaye, the productn tr of Gaye, Leon Ware & Arthur Ross laid out an erotic, low key, productn style that was perfectly sued for Marv's sgg and songwrg. Now on to my product review: I am always amazed at how timels Marv Gaye's voice and mic are. No matter what mood I am , my ears are always welg to the sounds of Marv Gaye!

Productn and plited arrangements by Leon Ware are outstandg and the album has a 'groove' and 'feel' to that my opn has never been replited many of his albums 'I Want You' has Gaye's peaks not so much g om the sgl [although I Want You and After The Dance are both great tracks], but rather the album cuts and the totaly of the effort One is a remastered py of the origal album wh 2 un-released stmental tracks..
