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. 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. Trouble Man: 40th Anniversary Expanded Edition follows the tradition of previous Marvin Gaye reissues, 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 and Christian McBride.
