Pinboard #16 (Sunday 15th October 2023)

I still have many 7" picture sleeves that I haven't shared on Blip, all sourced from the BBC Gramophone Library where they'd been deemed surplus to requirements (sleeves only) in the early Eighties, but not so many that I can theme around particular artists or subjects. The last blip was in January so I felt it was time for another. The theme here is that all the artists begin with the letter "A".

Lozarithm's Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Marvin Gaye - That's The Way Love Is (recording completed 6 December 1968, Detroit MI)
This Norman Whitfield-Barrett Strong song was clearly a favourite of Norman Whitfield because having failed commercially with the first released version by the Isley Brothers, recorded in 1966, he tried again in 1967 with Gladys Knight and the Pips on the album Feelin' Bluesy, and then radically reworked it for this Marvin Gaye single that was included both on the album MPG and, after it was a hit, on the album That's The Way Love Is. Finally, he made another upbeat version with the Temptations for the album Puzzle People (1970). All have newly created backing tracks, counter to Motown traditions, as I found out by playing all versions on this day. The keyboards on this version were sampled by Tricky, but more about that on my next Blip/LOTD.
