Excellent blaxploitation soundtrack holding his own against the preceding "What's Going On" album ....

I agree--a masterpiece of arrangement. . . fully under Gaye's production control. . . excellent use of synths and drumming.

I really don't understand why OP gets so much hate from some people... I don't get. I love his music.

Back of the CD seems to indicate this is part of a “Verve Chronicles” series. Was there such a thing, akin to their Take2 line? And if so, were there any other releases? I’ve done some Google searching but haven’t been able to turn up anything yet.
