ALWAYS COMBINES SHIPPING TO SAVE YOU MONEY AND WE ALWAYS SHIP WITH TRACKING. YOUR SATISFACTION IS OUR FIRST PRIORITY!

From Tamla Records (TS310), this is  WHAT'S GOING ON  

by  MARVIN GAYE, an original US pressing from May 21, 1971. 

Condition of the jacket EX+ or better; the gatefold is still crisp and

has never been opened all the way -- just beautiful (see photos).

The LP is NEAR MINT+ and better, probably unplayed except by us

to test it. The best example of this classic we've seen in years. A copy

this nice turns up only about once in a decade. Our highest, most passionate 

recommendation!

Note: The jacket states the stock number as "TS 310" but the LP shows

"T 310". We don't know what this means. Both gatefold and label clearly

state "stereo". 

Wherever possible we house our vinyl in Mobile Fidelity Sound

Lab inner sleeves for the ultimate in protection; we use 6-mil

outer sleeves or polyester both being the finest protection 

available for LP jackets.

These we offer FREE to all our customers!

When you buy from a small Mom & Pop business you are not 

helping a CEO buy a third vacation home, a second yacht 

or a four hundred million dollar golden parachute.  Instead, 

you’re helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy get 

his team jersey, a Mom put food on the table, a Dad pay 

a mortgage, or a student pay for college. Our customers 

are our shareholders; they are the ones we strive to make 

happy. Thank you for supporting small businesses.

Thoughts for today:

That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.

As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they arm themselves against wonder.
