But instead of suffering a seemingly inevitable letdown under the weight of all that pressure, Gaye levelled up again to make back-to-back classics. It was a different kind of wokeness—raising your libido between the sheets instead of your fist out in the streets—but no less revolutionary. There is no foreplay along this journey to erotic enlightenment. The album makes its intimate intentions clear from the first notes of the testosterone-charged title track, as Gaye comes on strong with a swag and swerve unheard in his earlier Motown material.

At the time I noticed there was also a Volume 1 set covering his work from but I was not as interested in that. So was this a limited edition? Why was it so cheap?
