About Marvin Gaye - The Master 1961-1984

The cover shot for this four-disc box is a floating image of hands outstretched, desperate to touch "The Master"--a suggestion that might be blasphemous if this weren't Marvin Gaye, one of the most impassioned, visionary, and masterful singers who ever lived, and one who inspired intense devotion among his millions of fans. The Master reveres Gaye with 89 selections, 32 of them hits, including classic solo recordings from "Hitch Hike" and "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" to the stunning "What's Goin' On" and "Sexual Healing," not to mention a "The Lord's Prayer" that makes clear what Master Gaye's divine voice was forever striving to reach. --David Cantwell Amazon.com essential recording

Great singer, great selections, great recordings BUT many of the old songs are mono recordings. Wish I had read the fine print before buying... July 27, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteThe only Marvin Gaye collection you will ever need!!Quote
Simply put, Marvin Gaye was a true genius and was one of the greatest musical talents the world has ever known and this is the true, definitive collection of all of his best songs. This collection features not only his greatest and timeless hits, but also showcases some of his previously unreleased work. This is a must have for any true fans of the Master, Marvin Gaye!

rating: 5 QuoteEgo Trippin Out...Quote
This is such a great box set that within 4 discs generously samples chronologically each of Mavin Gayes albums with a few extras thrown in as well. I still enjoy listening to it after more than ten years. Such a loss to not have Mr. Gaye with us anymore. April 4, 2008

rating: 1 QuoteMonaural 'Master' is a waste of time!Quote
I'll be brief. 3 of the 4 CD's are mono. They are the first 3 which have the best songs on them. Motown named Marvin Gaye the Master here, then proceeded to diss him with this inferior mono mix job. Shame on Motown. Mono is for people with one ear. April 3, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteThe Definitive Collection For A Motown LegendQuote
Marvin Gaye revolutionized the sound of soul music. The Master is the definitive collection of 90 tracks over four discs - with an outstanding booklet - that covers every facet of his brilliant career.

Discs one and two encapsulate the formative years with songs like How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You), One More Heartache, I Heard It Through The Grapevine, Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing and That's The Way Love Is.

The third disc is arguably the most essential music, as Gaye packages a political awareness in lyrics and some of the best arrangements ever heard on What's Going On, Save The Children, Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology) and Inner City Blues (Makes Me Wanna Holler).

Thr fourth disc may be the least satisfying, but the funk in Got To Give It Up (Part I) and smoothness of Sexual Healing shows that Gaye was still quite relevant in producing hits.

Gaye made some of the best music to come out of Motown Records. The Master is a breathtaking compilation. March 19, 2007
