Marvin's masterpiece. "Picket lines and picket signs" within the first couple of minutes. Tell It Like It Is, Marv. This still sounds 100% relevant in 2024. Mercy Mercy Me has an almost spiritual feel. The album has so many layers, without ever feeling cluttered. At the centre is still a collection of simple soul songs. Plus it's proof that an outstanding album need only be 35 minutes in duration.

This starts off great, but after a while it felt like one long jam session cut up into chunks. I have to admit to preferring the more straight-ahead soul material, such Can I Get A Witness. Good, but not great.
