1	The Master 1961-1984 (1995) more music like this by Marvin Gaye 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 ... see all copies from $28.74! new only from $48.00!
2	Forever Diana: Musical Memoirs (1993) more music like this by Diana Ross While the four-disc set Forever Diana could have been better -- it seems a little skimpy to give only one disc to the Supremes, while there are some odd choices on the remaining three discs -- it nevertheless contains all the major items, which will make it of interest to casual fans. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $19.98! new only from $43.73!
3	Joined Together: The Complete Studio Duets (2004) more music like this by Diana Ross & the Supremes/The Temptations The two albums the Supremes and the Temptations did together in the late '60s might have been fun to do, and sometimes fun to hear, but certainly weren't highlights in the career of either group. If you're going to hear them at all, however, you should do so in the context of this two-CD set, which leaves no stone unturned in its presentation of ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $16.72!
4	Anthology [1995] (1995) more music like this by Marvin Gaye The 1995 version of Anthology was remastered and slightly retooled from the 1986 reissue, which was in turn updated from the original triple-LP set Motown released in 1974. That first Anthology [1974] featured nothing from Let's Get It On or afterward; the newest Anthology adds even more from that era while subtracting a bit from Gaye's earlier ... see all copies from $16.64! new only from $27.92!
5	Ultimate Collection (2004) more music like this by Marvin Gaye This three-disc budget box actually does a pretty decent job of hitting the high points in Marvin Gaye's career, featuring all of his hit singles and a stand-alone third disc with a dozen or so of his duets with the likes of Mary Wells, Kim Weston and Tammi Terrell. Steve Leggett, All Music Guide see all copies from $28.27! new only from $28.27!
6	That Stubborn Kinda Fellow/How Sweet It Is to Be Loved by You (1987) more music like this by Marvin Gaye A magnificent two-in-one CD featuring a pair of magnificent Marvin Gaye albums. Even if you get a CD with wretched sound quality, superb vocals and production like this makes it worthwhile. Gaye never sounded more convincing, and the Motown machine was cooking at peak efficiency. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.45! new only from $9.45!
7	Diana's Duets (1982) more music like this by Diana Ross An excellent collection featuring Diana Ross singing with The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, the Supremes, and Marvin Gaye. These songs, all brilliantly produced and arranged, with wonderful lyrics, show how great a vocalist Ross was before she became weighted down with being a star and celebrity. Her delivery, vocal range, lyric ... see all copies from $8.00!
8	Super Hits [Motown] (1970) more music like this by Marvin Gaye A fabulous anthology, one of the best ones Motown ever released. Both Super Hits packages were crammed full for albums of the era, and the sound and selections were first rate. Motown has issued the first volume on CD, but thus far not the second -- a major mistake. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.56!
9	Reflections (2006) more music like this by The Temptations Don't call it a comeback, because it sure isn't. But then again, the Temptations never went away. On the contrary, they've been quietly churning out record after record, with the quality being surprisingly high for an act with such longevity. Granted, this isn't the classic Motown lineup everyone's accustomed to hearing, as Otis Williams is the ... see all copies from $2.35! new only from $10.26!
10	This Is Ernie Andrews (1964) more music like this by Ernie Andrews Ernie Andrews' first record for the Dot label is a fine piece of jazz-blues in the vein of Joe Williams or Jimmy Rushing, and it's a puzzle why he wasn't accorded respect to match his obvious talent. He possessed a higher register than Al Hibbler or Johnny Hartman but still featured their rich tone, and was closest to Billy Eckstine but, on this ... see all copies from $2.31! new only from $2.31!
11	Flashin' Back (1988) more music like this by Tyrone Davis see all copies from $8.00! new only from $8.00!
12 view cover	Anthology (1974) more music like this by Marvin Gaye With Anthology you can get an overview of Gaye's Motown work without having to plunk the money down for The Marvin Gaye Collection boxed set. The two-disc set contains most of his major hits (although the number one hit "Let's Get It On" appeared only on CD editions of Anthology), including "Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)," "Mercy Mercy ... see all copies from $25.00! new only from $50.00!
13	The Marvin Gaye Collection (1990) more music like this by Marvin Gaye Marvin Gaye has more than enough great music to make a superb box set, but the haphazard Marvin Gaye Collection isn't it. The four discs within the set are arranged thematically: one terrific disc of hits, one good disc of duets, one largely uninteresting disc of rarities, and one wildly uneven disc of ballads. By spreading out the material this ... see all copies from $3.75! new only from $3.75!
14 view cover	Diana Ross & the Supremes Join the Temptations (1968) more music like this by Diana Ross & the Supremes/The Temptations What more could you want, two great groups, 11 great songs, and classic Motown productions. Contains the super groups' big hit "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" and the equally effervescent "I'll Try Something New." But the goodies don't stop there: Check "Try It Baby," a remake of Marvin Gaye's hit, done this time with bass Melvin Franklin groaning ... see all copies from $12.50!
15 view cover	Street Noise (2004) more music like this by Joe Kap Organ Trio see all copies from $4.29! new only from $14.92!
16 view cover	Musical Testament 1964-1984 (1988) more music like this by Marvin Gaye see all copies from $15.99!
17 view cover	Memories, Music, Magic of Motown: Tribute to Berry Gordon (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $7.95!
18 view cover	Motown Classic Hits, Vol. 5 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $5.79!
19 view cover	Diana Ross & the Supremes Join the Temptations/Together (198?) more music like this by Diana Ross & The Supremes & The Temptations In the early days of the CD age, Motown released an astonishing number of CDs, including a whole line of single-disc sets that contained two original records on one CD. Motown's initial CD two-fers were criticized in many quarters for shoddy, unattractive packaging and indifferent remastering, but less discriminating consumers found them perfectly ... see all copies from $15.29! new only from $15.29!
20	Marvin Gaye's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 (1967) more music like this by Marvin Gaye Other than the Anthology line, this was for quite a while the best single album set featuring Gaye's early and mid-'60s hits. There isn't a dud in the bunch, but both the Super Hits and Anthology line give you more cuts, while the boxed set has more variety. But this isn't by any stretch a bad release. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.95!
21	How Sweet It Is to Be Loved by You (1965) more music like this by Marvin Gaye Another great album; Gaye was at this time Motown's finest solo vocalist (Smokey Robinson, Eddie Kendricks, David Ruffin, and Levi Stubbs were all heading groups). His vocal on the title track was both smooth and churning, celebratory and introspective. He could do no wrong during this period, regardless of content, tempo, or arrangement. Ron ... see all copies from $23.70!
22 view cover	Master [Box Set] (2006) more music like this by Marvin Gaye 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 ... see all copies from $52.05! new only from $52.05!
