Marvin Gaye - Wherever I Lay My Hat (thats my home) (made famous by Paul Young)

I can't believe this was mearly a b-side, what was the Motown music machine thinking? An awesome track. Very unlike most of Marvin's (or for that matter, Motown's) output, this has (to my ears) a rather Jamaican feel to it, almost Ska-like. Written by Marvin Gaye, Barrett Strong and Norman Whitfield, and later covered by, and a massive hit for Paul Young. Another of those I knew I HAD to own as soon as I heard it.
