Recorded in 1973, these two gems were originally album tracks on Marvin's "You're The Man" LP. Now these two and only gems curated by the Mizell Brothers are back to back for the first time on a 7" single. While on Expansion, the label art pays homage to Tamla. Marvin was never on Motown. There is a later, alternative remix of "Where Are We Going", but this 7" is the 1973 original.

Tracklisting:
A. Where Are We Going? (3:52)
B. Woman Of The World (3:29)

SALES POINTS:
- First Time back to back on 7"
