In case you were unaware of it, this classic Marvin Gaye single has an especially beautiful jewel hidden on the flipside.... a rare ballad outing that matches Gaye's incredible voice with a melody so sweet and familiar you wonder why Motown let it languish in such obscurity. For example, they didn't even include it on the huge 3-LP Marvin Gaye Anthology they produced in the 1970's. The audio on this single is near mint, and so is the B side label, but the radio station that owned it kind of trashed the A side label. This is a first-pressing copy with the globes Tamla logo.
