DESCRIPTION:
Soulful Vocal Re-edits Ltd so Be Quick - Marvin Gaye at his very best! Two classics from Gaye’s esteemed catalogue, ‘I Wanna Be Where You Are’ and ‘I Want You’ with alternative mixes that have never been on 12 inch before. Plucked from the Deluxe Edition of the spellbinding ‘I Want You’ album that was mixed Kevin Reeves & remastered by Ellen Fitton, these two cuts have always called out for loud and proud pressing on either side of a 12.
Up first, ‘I Wanna Be Where You Are’ written by the magical pairing of Leon Ware and Arthur 'T-Boy' Ross with Ware also behind the production controls. An abbreviated cover of Michael Jackson’s hit, it sees Gaye take a brief respite from his usual steamy and sensual swooning to express his love for his family. Jackson would then return the favour, taking influence from Marvin’s 1977 hit ‘Got to Give it Up’ to make ‘Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough’.
Originally a 1:17 minute segue on the album, the Unedited version clocks in at over 6 minutes, turning it from a transitionary passage to a standalone gem. Extending those delectable grooves, building and breaking with a sun-kissed, funk channelling feeling that washes over like a warm wave. With the 7 inch release trading hands for over £75 on Discogs this ain’t one to miss.
On the flip, ‘I Want You’ written by the same duo as the A, with Leon Ware once again on the production and released as part of the same ’76 album. It was an LP that introduced a change in musical styles for Gaye, songs such as this giving him a disco audience thanks to Leon Ware. The Jam-Alternate version leaves Gaye’s vocals till the final section, letting that sweet soaring soundtrack sing to its absolute emotive peak. Sunrise or sunset, this one is not to be used lightly - tears of joy on the dancefloor guaranteed.

Marvin Pentz Gaye Jr. (born Gay; 2 April 1939 – 1 April 1984) was an American singer, songwriter, musician and record producer. Often referred to as the "Prince of Motown" and the "Prince of Soul", he played a significant role in shaping the sound of Motown and soul music during the 1960s. He is regarded as an influential and widely recognised figure in popular music.
Born and raised in Washington, D.C., Gaye began his career under the guidance of Harvey Fuqua, joining the group Harvey and the Moonglows before embarking on a solo career in the early 1960s. After signing with Motown’s Tamla label, he achieved commercial success with singles including "How Sweet It Is (to Be Loved by You)", "Ain't That Peculiar" and "I Heard It Through the Grapevine". He also recorded a series of successful duets with female artists, notably Diana Ross and Tammi Terrell, with whom he recorded songs such as "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and "You're All I Need to Get By". Following the release of "What's Going On" (1971), he gained greater creative control over his work and subsequently produced albums including "Let's Get It On", "I Want You" and "Here, My Dear".
After a period living in Europe as a tax exile, Gaye left Motown and signed with Columbia Records in 1982. That year, he released "Midnight Love", which included the single "Sexual Healing", one of his most commercially successful recordings. In 1983, he performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the NBA All-Star Game. The success of "Sexual Healing" led to him receiving an American Music Award and two Grammy Awards.
On 1 April 1984, Gaye was shot and killed by his father, Marvin Gay Sr., at his parents’ home in Los Angeles, one day before his 45th birthday. His father later pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter and received a suspended sentence and probation.
Gaye’s work influenced the development of soul music in both the 1960s and 1970s, and his later recordings contributed to the emergence of R&B subgenres such as quiet storm and neo soul. His music has been included in various lists of the greatest songs and albums. His honours include two Grammy Awards, an American Music Award, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and inductions into the NAACP Hall of Fame, the National Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
