The title is a bit of a misnomer, as you could count up on the fingers of both hands all the early hits that
aren't on this 15-track collection. But if it's latter-day
Marvin you're looking for -- from
"How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" through tracks like
"Let's Get It On" and
"Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)" -- this set will fill the bill nicely, despite the utter lack of decent liner notes or recording date information. There's some great music here; just don't expect to fill your
Marvin Gaye collection with this one disc, and you'll be just fine. [When
Motown remastered and reissued the set in 2000, two tracks were added:
"Ain't That Peculiar" and
"I'll Be Doggone."]
