>i heard it through the grapevine< is the ninth solo studio album by soul legend marvin gaye, released in 1968 on the motown-subsidiary label tamla records. originally the record was released as >in the groove<.
during the recording of what would become gayes biggest-selling and signature single of his career, >i heard it through the grapevine<, there was a lot of arguing going on between norman whitfield and gaye over the sessions of >grapevine<. in the end whitfield was able to get what he wanted from gaye, and the duo started a collaboration that lasted into the beginning of 1970.
when the song >i heard it through the grapevine< became one of the biggest hits of 1968, motown re-released the lp as >i heard it through the grapevine<. the album and its title track are both considered as gayes commercial breakthrough.

fantastic voyage’s autumn 2015 release of soul for dancers proved so successful, that we didn’t have to think twice when lois wilson (mojo, record collector) asked if she could do it all over again. it turns out that there were plenty more classic sides in her dj crates, drawing on that rich seam of early soul and proto-soul rhythm & blues, of the sort that would have packed the dancefloors on the sixties club scene, or has been embraced by subsequent generations of club soul diehards.
together for the first time as a vinyl collection - motowns first 7 eps in a limited edition numbered collectors box. motown eps came in glassy photo covers with some carrying pictures of the artists and for most this was the first glimpse of newly found idols. artists featured on these eps were an early motown hall of fame - the miracles, stevie wonder, marvin gaye, and the supremes to name a few.
