UPDATE....It's here!

Marvin Gaye was already a hit artist for a decade when, in 1971, he reached new heights with his landmark album What's Going On. His next move? A mostly instrumental, orchestral jazz-soul soundtrack for the forgotten 1972 film Trouble Man. The album, though a surprise to followers, was a hit, producing a top 10 pop title track and legions of new fans, including musicians who started the acid-jazz movement from its bones.

This November 19, for Trouble Man's 40th anniversary, Hip-oSelect.com/Motown releases an extraordinary exploration of Marvin's creative leap: a 2-CD Expanded Edition that features not only the original soundtrack album remastered but 29 unreleased performances, including alternate takes, rare vocals and -- for the first time ever -- the full score for the film. Until the hardly seen film was repeated on television and issued on DVD in the last decade, many fans were unaware that Gaye's film score and soundtrack album contained different music. They are now together, giving fans double the musical experience.

Marvin Gaye: Trouble Man: 40th Anniversary Expanded Edition Until the hardly seen film was repeated on television and issued on DVD in the last decade, many fans were unaware that Gaye's film score and soundtrack album contained different music. They are now together, giving fans double the musical experience.

Trouble Man: 40th Anniversary Expanded Edition follows the tradition of previous Marvin Gayereissues, by adding a beautiful digi-pak package that includes a 28-page booklet with photo outtakes, dozens of rare picture sleeves from around the world, and richly detailed text and track-by-track annotations. The set's main essay by musicologist Dr. Andrew Flory tells the long-overlooked story behind the album, while various sidebar and additional essays include commentary from film directors Cameron Crowe and George Tillman Jr., and artists Lenny Kravitz, Joni Mitchell andChristian McBride.

I saw that on the Soulful Detroit site.

I'm also overjoyed NOT to see the name of David Ritz on the credits for liner notes.

Yeah he has a way of overexaggerating his stories. Like the "Sexual Healing" one. But yeah this is gonna rock for sure. Motown really respected Marvin, you can tell with the editions...

I know what you mean. Even though "Divided Soul" is my favorite music biography, I can't even read it anymore because Dave overexaggerated so much and made Marvin out to be this crazy maniac during his last days. Sure he was complex, but not a mad man.

I agree. Trying to make him either crazy or something close to Beethoven when discussing his music and acting like he knows how Marvin would "feel" about his music being released after he died. Talking about he wouldn't like how Motown released Vulnerable because HE (Ritz) didn't like it. Please!
