Title: Stevie Wonder – Talking Book

Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1972, Soul, Progressive Soul, Detroit

Matrix #: Tamla T-319-L

Condition: EX

Cultural Facts:

1. Legal Trouble After turning 21, Stevie let his Motown contract expire and fought for creative control, royalties, and ownership before making this record.
2. Studio Lore He built much of the album with Malcolm Cecil and Robert Margouleff, using TONTO synth systems that pushed Motown far past its usual assembly-line method.
3. Band Drama “Superstition” was first intended for Jeff Beck, but Motown rushed Stevie’s version out first, quietly killing the handoff and keeping the hit in-house.
