By following Marvin Gaye's artistic evolution from early Motown hits such as "Too Busy Thinking About My Baby" and "Can I Get a Witness" to the bluesy, abstract expressionism of concept albums such as What's Going On and Here, My Dear, the four-disc box set The Master: 1964-1984 gives die-hard fans and novices alike insight into Gaye's development as a songwriter. You don't have to read David Ritz's liner notes to understand the man and the artist -- you simply have to listen. Gaye poured his heart into the songs collected here -- whether he was wooing prospective sweethearts, expressing his political and social views, or confessing the details of his drug addiction and crumbling relationships. Also featured on this compilation are his precious collaborations with Tammi Terrell, Diana Ross, Mary Wells, and Gladys Knight, as well as 18 previously unreleased singles. From "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" on disc two to "Sexual Healing" and "The Lord's Prayer" on disc four, Gaye's lyrical intensity is matched only by his increasingly complex arrangements. This box set hits the passionate musical highs and lows of a visionary artist who was cut down in his prime. Martine Bury

All Music Guide

The average fan is better off with Anthology, which covers almost all of Marvin Gaye's true classics. But for those who want the hits and then some, and have the budget and interest to go further, this four-CD box set is an excellent retrospective of his career. The 89 tracks include all the chart hits (both on his own and with Mary Wells, Kim Weston, Tammi Terrell, and Diana Ross) and many interesting B-sides, album tracks, and misses. There are also over a dozen previously unreleased cuts, most dating from the early part of his career; they don't rank among his best work, but they're almost all good and interesting. With a long essay by his biographer, David Ritz, this is the best overview of Gaye's evolution and versatility, and a much-recommended alternative to the previous Gaye box, The Marvin Gaye Collection.
