Back in '79 Motown made the Card for the LP
well before the recording was finished.

The Back Cover of the LP.

In 1981 the Bass player nicked the masters (under orders of motown)
and flew it from London to LA.
by then it was called "In Our Lifetime"
But Marvin wanted a question mark at the end.

a few years ago they released the 2 CD in Limited Edition
so now it worth big money.

A session musician had some tapes he was meant to wipe
it had all the Love Man 1979 tracks (he knew it was marvin)
he gave it to Hipo Select who do rare motown CD's.


After that LP came out Marvin left Motown
as one track (far cry) was not finished and they put it out without a care.
CBS signed him he went Gold with Sexual Healing in 1982.

His next recording
was to be called "Sanctified Pussy"
CBS changed Pussy to Lady after he was killed
in 1984 1st of April by his Crazy Dad who fired bullets into him.



The Track I love from 1979 is
"Dance 'N' Be Happy"

Yes thats true.


His Final 1983 tour in America
is still not out.
His Guitar player/ Co-Producer could not get
proper funding to get it released on DVD.


And Marvin at the Motown25 LA Concert
in 1983 is still to come out on 5.1 DVD/BluRay
I assume delayed as MJ is on it
who was under Sony Contract (then Epic/CBS)
