'here, my dear', released in december 1978, a wrenching yet beautifully rendered chronicle of the end of his first marriage. with mixed reviews and no hit singles, the album was not a big seller. yet in the decades since 'here, my dear' has become recognized as a masterpiece of romantic anguish. it's also one of marvin's most influential recordings. hear it in today's young soul singers and in hip-hop's confessional raps. listen to the many producers who obsess over every note. see it on the rolling stone and mojo lists of top albums of all time. to honour this great work on the eve of its 30th anniversary, umc and hipo-select release a 2-cd expanded edition of the album. included in 'here, my dear' : expanded edition is a newly remastered version of the original album, plus, on the second disc - cleverly titled 'hear, my dear' - all of the lp's tracks newly mixed in old-school style (no overdubs) by select artists and producers. marvin fans from salaam remi (amy winehouse, nas), to prince paul (de la soul), from easy mo bee (tupac, alicia keys) to ahmir '?uestlove' thompson and james posyer (the roots, jill scott) dug deep into the tracks, delivering previously unreleased alternate versions that are new visions of the songs. hear demo vocals and alternate instrumentation. spoken word passages left off the lp. longer mixes with sick breaks from the original multi-track master tapes. that's not all, as a bonus track rounds out each disc: 'ain't it funny (how things turn around),' a posthumously released track now in undubbed form for the first time, a mix produced by p-funk's bootsy collins; and the rare, original 12-inch instrumental version of 'a funky space reincarnation.' this extraordinary collection is housed in a deluxe digi-pak that features a reproduction of the original album cover art, scans of master tape boxes and memorabilia from around the world. further complementing the set is a richly textured 28-page booklet, packed with full lyrics, an essay by gaye biographer david ritz, and two sidebar essays detailing the creation of the controversial cover art and the making of this edition. hear 'here, my dear' all over again - or discover a classic for the first time.
