Not worth it. Flat and lifeless compared to the early 90's cd release.
Wonder's essential triple vinyl. Superb cover. Hit tracks. Will it ever be reviewed by the artist... The sound is very good. Beautiful edition.

First disc a bit warped from having spent some time getting cozy with a 7", as is to be expected. Otherwise sounds amazing. Beats the hell out of the OG I had with a scratch through "Knocks Me Off My Feet" and missing "A Something's Extra."
I really do not understand the hate this pressing gets. My copy is flat, heavy, dead-silent, and super dynamic. It’s a major improvement over my 1st pressing copy, and the included 7” sounds beautiful. The only gripe I have is the quality of the image on the cover — my copy is slightly pixelated and grainy, but for how cheap this was and how amazing it sounds, I really can’t be upset. It rivals the sound of my Stevie Wonder MoFis, which are admittedly excellent. Your mileage may vary with this one, but I’m very happy with my copy and will be keeping it as my player copy until a truly audiophile remaster is released.
Rega Planar 2
Rega Nd3 cartridge
Yamaha RX-V659 amplifier
Dynaudio Contour 1.3 MKII speakers- genuinely flawless album. so inspired and always reminds me of my choir teacher from my childhood. so glad i was put onto this at a young age
Really happy with this one overall. The sound is warm, though a few tracks came out muddier than I expected - especially for a Japanese pressing. Could just be my copy though. The sleeve is great too - feels heavy and solid, really satisfying to hold in hand.
Edited 5 months agoMastering on this pressing sounds great. I have two copies of this album, this pressing and a Terra Haute first press, and this one is the better sounding of the two. Better separation, tighter bass, and overall clarity. The vocals are slightly more muffled on this one but everything else is superior making a much more enjoyable listen, especially with headphones.
Edited one month agoManaged to get this with the booklet (in mint condition) with A Something’s Extra. It sounds incredible! It was worth every penny.

Sounds and looks glorious. I won’t ever be searching for another copy.
