Marvin Gaye: Here My Dear
Vivien Goldman, Melody Maker, 6 January 1979
I SUPPOSE I should be grateful to the new Marvin Gaye album for something I did a very surreal drawing in pencil while wading through Side Four. By half-way through Side Two I'd already mentally awarded myself a medal surely I was going to be the Only Person To Sit Non-Stop All The Way Through Here, My Dear?
