Hope they come to their senses soon.

Don't count on it. The words "Motown" and "remaster" are rarely paired.

This album's on my short list to buy immediately. I never heard of it till recently, though I know some of the songs that were on the greatest hits 2.

I wonder why it's not lauded like the post-emancipation albums are. The songs are really good, from what I've heard.

They released all these wonderfully remastered Stevie Wonder albums, why they hell should they stop 1/2 way through?

Its a sure thing profit for them. Stevie's music sales are still booming.

I don't get it.

I got it with the itunes buy with something called "The Complete Stevie Wonder", I'm not sure if it's been remastered but I think so as it sounds perfect. music

This set also came with every single other thing he's done and I think it $200 but only as a digital download. I usually like all of the liner notes but I love Stevie so much I just had to have it immediatley and I listen to it almost everyday.

I welcome a remaster! "If You Really Love Me" is my feel-good song. mushy

I've been looking for this record everywhere and it's now OUT OF PRINT ON CD! I wish Motown could remaster this one and Secret Life Of Plants (although I do have that one)...

Yes, it's a real shame WICF and especially Journey... are out of print. disbelief

Not only that, but the albums that got remastered were easier to find on CD than that one.

I remember "JOTSLOP" was in my J and R a while back, and I was going to buy it; but when I planned to, it was already gone- I had to request it, apprarently someone is printing it, overseas in Europe. I think I got WICF off amazon, used. I don't get why Motown doesnt remaster them; If You Really Love me and Send One Your Love are those albums best pop selling points

I got mine copy of JTTSLOP from amazon.com and it was new and an import. I also heard that circuitcity.com holds copies of JTTSLOP too!

I wonder if that is any indicator that it will be remastered down the line sometime.

I for one would like to listen to Look Around on headphones with the sound coming out of more than one ear!

Me either. Universial owns the masters. As if it's all about making money, why don't they remaster ALL of Stevie's career albums?
