"In the summer, the scene would move en masse to Ostend, Belgium's equivalent to Blackpool. DJ Freddy Cousaert played at the Groove, a late night downstairs bar frequented by US marines, lovers of blues and soul music and tourists, it was Cousaert who later looked after Marvin Gaye during his 80s sejourn in Ostend. The music he played at the Groove included ska, Latin jazz and even Broadway songs such as Stranger in Paradise, or Whatever Lola Wants from Damn Yankees...."

MARVIN GAYE and KIM WESTON TAKE 2

TAMLA RECORDS 1966                                           S 270



Take Two was a duet album by Motown label mates Marvin Gaye and 
Kim Weston, released August 25, 1966 on the Motown's Tamla label.
 The album was titled after its most successful selection, the Top 5
 R&B/Top 20 Pop hit "It Takes Two", which was to this point Gaye's 
most successful duet with another singer. The album also featured
 the modest hit "What Good Am I Without You?".
Shortly after this album was released, Weston left Motown in a dispute
 over royalties (coincidentally, Mary Wells had departed from Motown 
two years prior after also recording a duets album - Together - with Gaye).
 Weston's replacement as Gaye's duet partner was Tammi Terrell, who 
recorded several successful hit singles with Gaye during the late 1960s.

    Yes, A real classic! Funny enough I only had the 2007 version (Take Two+) which re-sequenced the tracks among other recordings and therefore broke up the integrity of the original album. Perhaps they should have just tagged them on as Bonus tracks, would of made more sense I guess?
    Thanks for posting it, as it was originally intended.
