Start here

Where Wonder's classic period truly opens up, home to 'Superstition' and 'You Are the Sunshine of My Life'. Warm, funky and melodically rich. A perfect entry to his run of 1970s masterpieces. Released in 1972, it's an early landmark for Stevie Wonder.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
