Title:	Music Of My Mind
Label:	TAMLA
Format:	LP
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	T7 314R1LP

Gatefold exact repro reissue. Released in 1972, this album initially lacked the commercial success of Talking Book, released later that year, but still stands as a vital document of an artist in his absolute prime. "...funky jams that show off Wonder as an instrumentalist, arranger, and producer far more than they highlight his voice, and vocal music is what sells in the record industry. One might even say that Music Of My Mind represents what Stevie Wonder the musician had always wanted to do in the studio, had he not had to deal with the stylistic and time constraints of 2-1/2 minute, mass market, R&B/Motown pop. As one travels through the tracks on the album, it is worthwhile to consider just what the package's title means: are these songs from Wonder's heart and soul, or literally songs from his mind -- his imagination?" -- James E. Perone

Title:	Innervisions
Label:	VINYL LOVERS (RUSSIAN FEDERATION)
Format:	LP
Price:	$30.00
Catalog #:	VL 900334LP

"After releasing the groundbreaking Talking Book, Wonder went on to release, in 1973, what is considered by many to be his magnum opus. Here Wonder brings social commentary to the fore with classic hits like 'Higher Ground' and 'Living for the City' and his commentary on American urban living has remained some of the most poignant in music history. The album also won three Grammys, including album of the year." Remastered reissue of the original 1973 album, 180 gram virgin vinyl, gatefold sleeve.

Title:	Talking Book
Label:	VINYL LOVERS (RUSSIAN FEDERATION)
Format:	LP
Price:	$30.00
Catalog #:	VL 900396LP

"Released shortly after Wonder completed his 1972 tour with The Rolling Stones, and peaking at #3 in the U.S., it is the second release in what is widely regarded as his classic period, a period in which Wonder broke completely with the Motown sound and philosophy. Despite the strong initial disapproval of label execs, Wonder forged ahead and was rewarded with phenomenal success, forcing Motown to grant him complete artistic freedom over his work and proving to the music industry that R&B artists could find widespread appeal with rock audiences. Featuring #1 pop and R&B hit, 'Superstition.'" Remastered reissue of the original 1972 album; 180 gram virgin vinyl; gatefold sleeve.
