“What’s Going On”/”Let’s Get It On.” Marvin Gaye. Motown. AAD. Yes, you get both of these landmark Gaye albums on one CD and at a single CD price. It’s part of Motown’s ambitious new two-for-one campaign. “What’s Going On,” a frequently brooding yet poignant reflection on urban social conditions, was one of the most influential albums of the early ‘70s--a work whose social consciousness had an especially strong impact on Stevie Wonder. “Let’s Get It On” is the sensual, romantic side of Gaye. Both remain haunting, eloquent works. Sound quality: good.
