Marvin Gaye, "She's Got To Be Real" & "Crazy Bout' My Baby"

[Ngroove]

Not so long ago, in my continuing journey of forming a formidable Motown collection, gotten my CD of Marvin's "How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You", Motown / Universal Japan edition, and apparently, comes with "bonus tracks". Apparently, two B-Sides, and a popular A-side that has not been released on any regular Marvin Gaye album.

While I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever on bonus track No.3, "Can I Get A Witness", it's B-Side, "I'm Crazy Bout' My Baby" and "She's Got To Be Real", WEEEEEEEELLLLLLL.....

Just wanna public "second opinion", on these lesser B-Sides, as mine is either "too simplistic", "too B-Sidey", or "too hokey". If done right on a good tune, yeah, may be able to spin off a few others under similiar sounds [[ "Can I Get A Witness" = "You're A Wonderful One", "Baby, Don't You Do It"). "Pride & Joy" = ...... Well, for it's supposed spirited follow-up, some more time taken for "I'm Crazy Bout' My Baby" could never hurt, but, it was what it was, 50+ years now.

This was a similar type of CD release from Great Britain released back in the 20th Century!! It contained 3 extra tracks to the regular vinyl album - one top side and a couple of B sides and was compiled by Motown label manager Gordon Frewin.

Hmmmmm....the UK rerelease included his lounge-singers? Not a good trade from "You're A Wonderful One" and "Try It Baby".....
