“The disc of unreleased live material truly captures the excitement of this line-up in full flight”: The Yes Album Super Deluxe Edition
Extended third LP, their first with Steve Howe, illustrates the amazing connection between musicians at the top of their game

sweetcell:
not technically a reissue since this was never issued in the first place, but not sure where else to put this... tantalizing news:

Marvin Gaye: Never-before heard music surfaces in Belgium

At the end when I had listened to all the 30 tapes I had 66 demos of new songs. A few of them are complete and a few of them are as good as Sexual Healing, because it was made in the same time."

One new track above the others makes Alex think we might hear another global hit from Marvin Gaye in the future

(...)

So Alex Trappeniers and his partners could end up as the owners of the physical tapes on which the music was recorded, without the right to publish the songs. And the heirs of Marvin Gaye in the United States could find themselves with a theoretical right to exploit the music, but with no way of accessing the music - because they don't own the tapes. In Alex's view the case for some kind of compromise is obvious.

Hutch:
Very skeptical….there ain’t anything as great as Sexual Healing on the album itself….Marvin was in Europe flailing in a drunken coke binging orgiastic haze…by all accounts hardly coherent

Of course if I owned a tape of unreleased Marvin I also would hype it and try and get paid….
