Mono Warning! Wish I had read the fine print before buying. Great singer, great selections, great recordings BUT many of the old songs are mono recordings. . . . The only Marvin Gaye collection you will ever need!! This collection features not only his greatest and timeless hits, but also showcases some of his previously unreleased work. Simply put, Marvin Gaye was a true genius and was one of the greatest musical talents the world has ever known and this is the true, definitive collection of all of his best songs. This is a must have for any true fans of the Master, Marvin Gaye!. Ego Trippin Out... I still enjoy listening to it after more than ten years. This is such a great box set that within 4 discs generously samples chronologically each of Mavin Gayes albums with a few extras thrown in as well. Such a loss to not have Mr. Gaye with us anymore. Monaural 'Master' is a waste of time! 3 of the 4 CD's are mono. I'll be brief. They are the first 3 which have the best songs on them. Motown named Marvin Gaye the Master here, then proceeded to diss him with this inferior mono mix job. Shame on Motown. Mono is for people with one ear. . The Definitive Collection For A Motown Legend The Master is the definitive collection of 90 tracks over four discs - with an outstanding booklet - that covers every facet of his brilliant career. Marvin Gaye revolutionized the sound of soul music. Discs one and two encapsulate the formative years with songs like How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You), One More Heartache, I Heard It Through The Grapevine, Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing and That's The Way Love Is. The third disc is arguably the most essential music, as Gaye packages a political awareness in lyrics and some of the best arrangements ever heard on What's Going On, Save The Children, Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology) and Inner City Blues (Makes Me Wanna Holler). Thr fourth disc may be the least satisfying, but the funk in Got To Give It Up (Part I) and smoothness of Sexual Healing shows that Gaye was still quite relevant in producing hits. Gaye made some of the best music to come out of Motown Records. The Master is a breathtaking compilation. .
