HMV Review

Rolling Stone (1/23/03, p.68) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Revolutionary..."
Vibe (12/99, p.164) - Included in Vibe's 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century
Q (1/03, p.69) - Included in Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums Ever"
Rolling Stone (8/5/71, p.44) - "...There are very few performers who could carry a project like this off. I've always admired Marvin Gaye, but I didn't expect that he would be one of them..."
NME (10/2/93, p.29) - Ranked #4 in NME's list of the 'Greatest Albums Of All Time.'
Rolling Stone (9/30/71, p.42) - "...there is no question that he has gotten progressively better...Gaye's multi-tracked lead vocals answer one another like a man talking to himself, finally enveloping the listener in a world view of incalculable intensity..."
Q (10/99, p.161) - Included in Q Magazine's Best Motown Records Of All Time - "...one of the finest albums ever recorded.... gorgeous soulful settings, bewitching melodies and Gaye's magisterial singing."
Mojo (5/01, p.97) - "...Stands as both a eulogy and testament to a spirit of co-operation, understanding and harmony. It's a vision of Utopia in words and music one could wander around in forever."
Uncut (5/03, p.116) - 5 stars out of 5 - "...Global and personal anguish were never so exquisitely conveyed..."
Living Blues (5-6/01, p.100) - "...A masterwork....Sumptuous packaging, insightful liner notes, and voluminous session information underscore the first-class presentation..."
NME (9/11/93, p.18) - Ranked #1 in NME's list of The Greatest Albums Of The '70s - "...politicized music has never been done better....it's also infused with a beautiful spirituality..."

ﾍﾟﾊﾟｰﾐﾝﾄ | 不明 | 07/March/2007

ただ切実な思い。それだけである。それだけなんだ。売れようとか、余分なものがない。当初、ﾒｯｾｰｼﾞ性が強すぎると、ﾓｰﾀｳﾝは発売を拒否しました。それが、後のﾓｰﾀｳﾝとの確執…不幸な最後につながていきます。素晴らしいｱﾙﾊﾞﾑですが、ﾀｲﾄﾙ曲のように考えさせる。どににいくのか？

1枚目のMIX違いはよほどのﾏﾆｱ以外はあんま興味ないのでは？しかし、2枚目の’72年5月ﾜｼﾝﾄﾝD.C.でのﾗｲｳﾞは「こんなのがまだあんのか！」と思いましたよ。「Let’s Get It On～Deluxe Edition」はｽﾀｼﾞｵ･ｾｯｼｮﾝばかりだったので「Let’s～」の方をよく聴いてたが、ﾗｲｳﾞをﾎﾞｰﾅｽにもってきたこちらは、これで良かったんだな～と思います。

怒りや悲しみが音楽として残る。そして僕たちがこれを聞いて何を感じるかが大切だ。永遠の問いかけへの答えこそが力になる。
