The record

Title: Stevie Wonder – Talking Book

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

Matrix #: Tamla T-319-L

Condition: VG

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.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
