The best box sets provide listeners with the chance to hear not only the greatest hits by a favorite artist, but also to expose fans to rare sides and quality "from the vaults" tracks. This collection fits right within that category. Its got "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," "Stubborn Kind of Fellow" and "What's Going On?," but you would expect that from any Marvin Gaye collection. What makes this box set a buy are obscure tracks like "I'm Going Home," "Together We Stand (Divided We Fall)," "Checking Out (Double Clutch)," and "Piece of Clay." The latter track obviously so impressed the producers of the movie, Phenomenon, that it was included in that movie's soundtrack. Also included in this collection are Marvin Gaye's rendition of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" WITH Gladys Knight & the Pips and a haunting recitation of "The Lord's Prayer." With so much of Marvin Gaye's music being a reflection of his own life, this is more than just a music collection, at times you feel like you're reading a personal diary. One particular song that comes to mind is "Anger." Although it was a single from his HERE, MY DEAR divorce album, it could just as well be about Marvin's stormy (and ultimately tragic) relationship with his father. Very powerful.Read full review
Perfect condition and many unreleased tracks and all the hits in one package! Yes there were a few songs I wish were included, most noticeably the track "Whats going on, Brother" is missing. Still, for the value; this is an awesome purchase!

I only have one problem and that is out of the 4 CDs it did not have, What's Happening Brother on it which is my favorite song from Marvin Gaye, which means some other songs are missing. If not for this problem I would have given 5 stars instead of 4 stars.

Love this set! Thank you so much. Everything was as stated. Received in a timely manner. You made my day.

Excellent overview of an amazing career. While you'd need a ten-disc set to include everything of note, this set effectively chooses Gaye's most-important material and paints the best picture of the singer any four-disc set could. Highly recommended.
