Marvin Gaye 1966 - "Sweeter As The Days Go By" MOTOWN-176

[MegaMusicman09]

MIGHTY MOTOWN..

What kind of magic was running through the halls of Motown that a song like this (a really, really great, beautiful song) would go UNRELEASED? This is one of my favorite Marvin songs, period. I first heard it on the Marvin Gaye Anthology and thought it was just another great song that Motown released. I can't believe they didn't release this back then.

It's a great song, great songs and Marvin Gaye will alway's go together hand in hand.

I first came across this track on a CD entitled "tamla motown- big hits & hard to find classics-vol 4", I purchased it in England.

It was released on a greatest hits cd that I owned.  Been looking for it ever since I lost it.

Marvin always blows me away. What an angelic voice he had!

Love this track so much we had it as our wedding song.Recorded off the original acetate by a good friend who traveled to the USA to purchase rare soul vinyl, and eleven years later we still play it and love it more every time.xxx

Yea, this is a great track - it's track 14, disc 1 Marvin Gaye Anthology. Thanks for the info about the time schedule it explains plenty. Phil

This is another class track. I wonder why it was never released? Peace!

[MotownMagic1959]

I used to wonder why too, until I found out that they used to have to stick to a time schedule for release's, plus Berry Gordy was a perfectionist, (like me!!) just think there's THOUSANDS of unreleased tracks in Motown's vault that haven't seen the light of day, a great shame I think. The good news is, they are now adding them to CD's and I've got quite a few ;-)

@THESILENTBOATMAN Crazy isn't it! I think they did a lot of stunning alternate cuts, for example the bonus tracks on Whats Goin' On are incredible, so the stuff we've never heard must be just as good as what we have
