Comments and Reviews


goodbear66 27th Jan 2020		This album was available in the UK due to an opportunity the stock buyer at Makro Wholesale Warehouse, Halesowen (possibly others) must have add for US product (with small card punch out in the sleeve). gb66 purchased it there for no money but do not recall ever seeing it on the shelves of UK High Street chains e.g. Smith's.



edlongus SUBS ● 31st Oct 2018		When I purchased this album many years ago, I just KNEW I had all of Stevie's biggest hits up 2 that point. Then a while later, I wanted 2 hear Stevie's cover of the Beatles' "We Can Work It Out" in Stereo (I'd had the Mono 45 rpm single), and then I discovered the song WASN'T included on this compilation... ♫ It was included on this album!!



Bgray1 4th Sep 2017		Added a third set of label variants.



Gilberts004 SUBS 4th Sep 2017		My labels appears to be different again, with "Looking Back", not as bold as STEVIE WONDER and in Italic.



musictom SUBS ● 28th Feb 2016		For my copy {991039 - 991044} which has never been separated, here are the Monarch markings: Record 1: A - Δ22821 F - Δ22829-X Record 2: B - No monarch markings E - Δ22819 Record 3: C - No monarch markings D - No monarch markings



Record Collector 7th Oct 2015		The music I have is on MP3 my iPod has a crossfade that gives a perfect mix from one track to another



Neil Forbes 7th Oct 2015		....which I have on cassette, and made into a CD! Cassettes are much easier to transfer to CD than LPs, no jumping tracks or skip-back.... skip-back.... skip-back.... skip-back....! As long as the cassette's mechanism "behaves itself", that is!



Record Collector 7th Oct 2015		Featured on his greatest hits volume two album



Neil Forbes 7th Oct 2015		Likely wa-a-a-a-ay down in that deep, dark vault, RC! (ha-ha)



Record Collector 7th Oct 2015		Among my collection



Neil Forbes 7th Oct 2015		RC: *"NEWSFLASH!!!! I just found it the remastered mix"*....Where? Where?



Record Collector 7th Oct 2015		NEWSFLASH!!!! I just found it the remastered mix



Neil Forbes 7th Oct 2015		*Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday*, you'll have that on the EMI-Columbia LP, 20 Explosive Hits"(the first in that series), RC.



Record Collector 7th Oct 2015		I have the definitive collection on cd only tracks not on the album is yesterme yesteryou and yesterday and lately my must haves



Neil Forbes 7th Oct 2015		This is a "best-of..." album, a "bumper" issue, even! As I said, I have it under its original title, "Anthology" M9-804A3. There was a Polygram 2CD-set issued some 20 years ago(rough guess), titled "Essential Stevie Wonder" 530 047-2 which carries the entire version of Fingertips(Pts 1 & 2) clocking in at well over 5 minutes. This LP carries only the Pt.2 of that track. Where this LP is set out in chronological order, from his first record at age 12, up to 1972, which was the cut-off point for this collection under that original title, two years short of the original issue date. The 2CD set jumps around the years and may not include all the cuts that are in the 3LP set, but it's still worth having, even for the complete version of Fingertips on its own.



Record Collector 7th Oct 2015		If you listen carefully to fingertips you can hear one of the band performers asking what key as he was caught out



Record Collector 7th Oct 2015		This be classed as a best of album



Neil Forbes 7th Oct 2015		What, key, RC? Back door key! Ha-ha. And I note in the space of twelve or so hours, the site's had a makeover. Now it's "Add a review or add a comment about this album" in one instead of two separate options. So it's now click on "Add a review" or on "Add a comment" What else is there to surprise us? Hmmmm.....



Record Collector 6th Oct 2015		A3 what key,what key haha



Neil Forbes 6th Oct 2015		I have the set under the "Anthology" title, it was part of a series of three-disc sets, another was the 10th Anniversary Anthology of The Temptations. There were 2-disc cut-down versions issued in Europe by the various divisions of EMI(Electrola, Bovema, Pathe-Marconi, etc.) which used the boxed photos of the inner sleeves(records 1 and 3) for their cover art.



Trester 16th Feb 2015		I own the Anthology from 1974 (with the booklet). Its number is M9-804A3. Does it deserve an entry of its own?



PhilMH SUBS 5th Jan 2014		The Discogs entry is essentially correct - this was originally scheduled to be released in 1974 as ANTHOLOGY, but as part of his contract renegotiation, Stevie had the release cancelled (supposedly because he felt the collection wasn't representative of his music), so Motown then sat on all the pressings for the next three years. When LOOKING BACK was released in 1977, the 1974 Anthologies (complete with photo booklet, which wasn't included in LOOKING BACK) were offloaded to Motown's international licensees - I remember they were widely available here in Australia via EMI, they certainly weren't available in 1974! The only difference between the two versions is the title, the booklet, and the absence of a copyright date on LB, so I've always wondered what changed Stevie's mind!



GEMSMFAN 5th Jan 2014		released in 1977, Wikipedia explains this compilation, although Discogs shows this.



W.B.lbl 30th Dec 2013		The 'D5RS' numbers indicate that this compilation was originally released (under the Anthology umbrella) in 1974.



GEMSMFAN 29th Dec 2013		Notes should contain the following: Side One / Side Six (Sides A / F) Side Two / Side Five (Sides B / E) Side Three / Side Four (Sides C / D) formatted for use on a record changer, by flipping the stack over. "Looking Back" was part of Motown's Anthology series, which were 3 record compilations assembled with hits, etc.
