This time,it's the newly released vinyl reissue (premium audiophile,180 gram) What's cool is that it has the original packaging that we saw on the 1976 pressings,including the bonus 45 single that came with it.Also,the HUGE lyric book.

I also bought Rick James' 'Street Songs' vinyl reissue.These things are great!

I have said many times on the org...This album SHOULD be required listening in every music appreciation class. It is a masterpiece and in my opinion, Stevie greatest work!!

It's fantastic,

this and Hotter Than July are my fave Stevie Wonder albums

I gotta get me one of these!

What is the retail price?

Graycap23 said:

SITKOL is $40.....it's $45 at the Hip-O-Select site.'Street Songs' is $16.99.

SoulAlive said:

Ouch, but it's still a good buy. It's one of the greatest albums ever as far as i'm concerned. Light years in front of anyone else.

But not his best!

shorttrini said:

INDEED! It's the type of album that every artist should strive to make,at least once in their careers.

SoulAlive said:

Rasputin has it at a very good price too

Marrk said:

Yeah,$40 is alot,but it's an amazing package to have.The vinyl is high-quality and much heavier than usual vinyl records,and it is packaged exactly like it was when it was first released in 1976.Same big booklet,same bonus "45" single with the four bonus tracks.Even if you already have this album on CD (and let's face it,we all do,lol),the vinyl reissue is still a nice thing to have.

that's where I bought it from at Rasputin for $40.

SoulAlive said:

word?

they have a couple of 180 gram editions of Stevie's albums

bboy87 said:

Yeah,they sure do.I think I saw the 180 gram versions of 'Talking Book' and 'Innervisions'.Gonna get those next!

SoulAlive said:

I think they got Music Of My Mind too

shorttrini said:

As you can see, I wholeheartedly agree! May I also add that IMHO, it is the greatest album ever made by anyone , anywhere!

shorttrini said:

It's THAT legendary.

Timmy84 said:

Not only that, but it is one of the only albums I know, that talk about the state of the human condition of that time. I listen to it once a week.

It's my father's fave although I'd probably go with innervisions or Talking Book as a whole, this one is so close though. I love how it starts with "Love's in Need"

shorttrini said:

I approve this purchase.

I approve of this purchase too but good lord 40 dollars.
That's a lot of money. What if i give you 10 cents for a
snippet of the whole album says Chris Rock?

phunkdaddy said:

This edition is high quality. It's like the best weed in town: you gotta pay top dollar...

definitely approved.. it is on Tamla right?

IAintTheOne said:

If it ain't Tamla, it ain't where it's at.
If it ain't Gordy (the label), it ain't groovy.
If it ain't Motown (the subsidiary), it ain't shit.

Timmy84 said:

It's what's in the grooves that counts..... the original Gordy records Slogan

IAintTheOne said:

Of course.

Here's Tamla's slogan: "The sound that makes the world go round". Motown's of course was "the sound of Young America".

Yes i just got an old temptations album from my mom's house called
Doin the temptations 1965. The album has no cover. It has the girl's
alright with me, why you wanna make me blue, and since i lost my baby.
The album is fairly decent condition but has its share of pops and hisses.
I also got smokey robinson & the miracles album Going to a go go from her
with the old ass Tamla imprint 1965 too. I like the cover of that album
with Smokey sitting on the skateboard. I also have that album cover for
my wallpaper this month celebrating black music month.
