Re-discover In
Our Lifetime?, Marvin Gaye’s final Motown album. A masterpiece, it’s now
expanded to two discs, and includes the mythical, long lost Love Man
sessions. Funky and inspirational, In Our Lifetime? chronicles a genius
at war with himself. It touches on theological and personal issues
plaguing Marvin at the time, and produced the hits “Heavy Love Affair”
and “Praise.” But the album didn't have the mixes or final tracks he
approved, and he left his longtime label for CBS the following year.
This 2-CD expanded edition includes a newly remastered version of the
original LP, outtakes from those final mixes, plus a previously unknown
and unheard alternate mix and lineup of the album.
But that’s only half the story: this album was originally conceived as a
party record Marvin called LoveMan. Except for the single, “Ego
Tripping Out,” he never finished that concept. Yet those Love Man
sessions were recently uncovered — an incredible treasure of demos and
alternate instrumentation that’s a beacon for soul and Marvin Gaye fans.
Also included in this limited package is a 28-page booklet with detailed
annotations, rare photos, full lyrics, and two essays: one by Gaye
biographer David Ritz, who provides a compelling context, and another
describing the Love Man sessions.
Get into the full story of the extraordinary In Our Lifetime, a compelling chapter in Marvin’s devastating autobiography.
DID YOU KNOW… Marvin worked on the album at studios in Los Angeles,
Honolulu and London. In London’s Odyssey Studios, the Who were
completing their album Face Dances in the room next door, and Pete
Townshend would regularly check in on Marvin’s progress.
