48. Discograffiti’s The Private Press with Paul Major—Premiere Episode!

Meet Paul Major. Paul is the greatest, most enthusiastic private press record collector of all time—and leader of the thunderously awesome band Endless Boogie—and he’ll be introducing you and I to a brand new incredible record you’ve almost definitely never heard of every single week, along with personal tales of tracking these folk down that rocket his recommendations into another category entirely. That’s right, it’s a whole other show that runs concurrently with Discograffiti, intended for the deep-dive diehards out there who just can’t can’t enough great music recommendations.  Sign up for the Major tier on our Patreon page (www.Patreon.com/Discograffiti) to get The Private Press on a weekly basis!

47. Marvin Gaye Part 3: 1976-1984 with his biographer David Ritz

Nobody stays on top forever, but the most interesting artists in music history have made the most admirably crazy kinds of noise on the way down. And what better example, really, than Marvin’s batshit-crazy 1978 double album divorce masterpiece “Here, My Dear.” Featuring special guest David Ritz, author of “Divided Soul: The Life Of Marvin Gaye” and co-author of Marvin’s biggest hit "Sexual Healing,” in Marvin Gaye Part III we are treated to a staggering, almost Zapruder-like reconstruction of the very moments that wound up leading to the career comeback he was fortunate to experience before his untimely end. Not to be missed.

46. Marvin Gaye Part 2: 1970-1975 with his biographer David Ritz

…And here is where the rubber truly hits the road for Marvin Gaye, with his career kicking into frighteningly high gear as a result of the stream of classics that came tumbling out of him, one after the other, colossal works such as What’s Going On and Let’s Get It On. Featuring special guest David Ritz, author of “Divided Soul: The Life Of Marvin Gaye” and co-author of Marvin’s biggest hit "Sexual Healing,” we stop and smell the roses this go-round, as it’s not often you get a full-disclosure interview with a key eyewitness—and contributor—to some of the greatest music ever made. Not to be missed. Next Sunday, 8/21…Part 3: Marvin’s Final Decade.
