According to the person from whom we acquired this item (a good friend of ours and a very fine gentleman), this album comes from the estate of the legendary Rock critic, journalist, liner notes writer and freelancing talent scout Al Aronowitz (1928-2005) best known for introducing  Bob Dylan to The Beatles in 1964. Aronowitz was the original manager of  The Velvet Underground, getting the band their first gig in the auditorium of the high school in Summit, New Jersey (The Velvet Underground stole Aronowitz's tape recorder and dumped him weeks later when they met Andy Warhol) . In a historically infamous episode known as "I want to hold your bong", Aronowitz introduced Bob Dylan to the Beatles in a New York City hotel room on August 28, 1964. According to his own journal entries, at this meeting he brought a marijuana joint which would be the first pot smoked by the Beatles. So...if you are wondering who was responsible for "tripping" the Beatles into recording all those mind-blowing, consciousness-expanding psychedelic masterpieces such as Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts' Club Band, Magical Mystery Tour, The White Album or Abbey Road, seek no further. It was the Man who owned this fine piece.

After brilliantly surveying the social, political, and spiritual landscape with What's Going On, Marvin Gaye turned to more intimate matters with Let's Get It On, a record unparalleled in its sheer sensuality and carnal energy. Always a sexually charged performer, Gaye's passions reach their boiling point on tracks like the magnificent title hit (a number one smash) and "You Sure Love to Ball"; silky and shimmering, the music is seductive in the most literal sense, its fluid grooves so perfectly designed for romance as to border on parody. With each performance laced with innuendo, each lyric a come-on, and each rhythm throbbing with lust, perhaps no other record has ever achieved the kind of sheer erotic force of Let's Get It On, and it remains the blueprint for all of the slow jams to follow decades later -- much copied, but never imitated.

(EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY JASON ANKENY, ALL MUSIC GUIDE  /ALLMUSIC.COM/)

If Marvin Gaye’s classic 1971 What’s Going On album was his plea for universal human love and compassion,  Let’s Get it On (released two years later, and every bit the worthy successor of the 1971 Colossus), was much more pointed and specific: it was Marvin’s bid for (um…how shall we say this without offending eBay censors… SEX!!!)  Marvin was a man on a prowl searching for a a nookie (yeah, like he couldn’t get one), and he wanted it RIGHT AWAY, THIS VERY INSTANT, SUBITO!  From the intro groove to the final fade, this album is one big, hot, sweet honey bun of seductive, sexy grooves and slick, elegant, wrapped-in-pearly-satin soul jams that just won’t stop until your, um… tonearm… goes limp. One can legitimately argue that every single sexy Soul jam recorded since the early 1970s can be traced back to this classic peace of Motown wax.  Never mind Viagra ™; skip the Kama Sutra,  all you need to really, REALLY get it on is Let’s Get it On. Play this album responsibly folks: many a baby has been delivered by a stork nine months after only a single spin on the turntable!!! Finding a still sealed original copy?!?! Forget it – not even a HOPE!!! This may be the last one you will ever see.

For its extraordinary contribution to the modern music, superb production, craftsmanship, fine musicianship, revolutionary significance and influence it exerted on numerous generations of musicians, writers and general public, this album was voted one of top-100 albums of all time in one of the largest poll of critics, music reviewers, professionals and producers ever organized: the poll, which was conducted in 1987 by Paul Gambaccini, legendary BBC Radio A&R man, surveyed more than 50 top music professionals
