Wonder, Stevie: Songs In The Key Of Life (Vinyl 2xLP + 7")

This is a genuine classic, in a world where that has become an overused citation. The 18th album by Stevie Wonder was released by Motown Records on September 28, 1976, and started a non-consecutive 14 weeks at No.1 on 18 October. Songs In The Key Of Life is among the greatest albums of all time: it’s ranked No.4 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 greatest albums; both Michael Jackson and George Michael called it their favourite Stevie Wonder album. In recent years, numerous hip-hop artists have sampled it and Will Smith used “I Wish” as the basis for his No. 1, “Wild Wild West.”

This double album is the absolute crème de la crème of what has been dubbed Wonder’s “classic period.” It was recorded in part at the Record Plant in Hollywood, Sausalito Music Factory and the Hit Factory in New York City, but the majority was captured at Crystal Sounds Hollywood. The tracks date from 1974 through to 1976.
