Some of the tracks are re-mastered but the majority are in stereo as originally recorded.
Here is a musician touched by genius. Here is a compilation you must have for your CD collection.
Advantages: It's just fab, fab, FAB Disadvantages: None for me
17 great Stevie Wonder ballads on 1 CD. I got a really great bargain when I bought it from Ebay for £3.00 (even though I'd already got it......don't ask, I'm just very stupid and my memory's really bad - I think it must be my age. But at least I've now got one for the house and one for the car)
It contains some of my very favourites - My Cherie Amour, You are the sunshine of my life and Lately to name just 3. AND it has my very very favourite - ...

Advantages: some decent tunes Disadvantages: too many mediocre ones
a studio track . The Mac have definitely lost their way here.
Track 10) Hard Feelings ( B.Burnette / J. Silbar )
One word sums this up - boring . Sounds like a Beatles recording .
Track 11) Freedom ( S. Nicks / M. Campbell )
Simply dire , lifeless . As per track 5)
Track 12) When It Comes To Love ( B.Burnette / D. Morgan / S. Climie )
Almost a country feel to this tune , and for a change it actually works - one of the better tracks .
Track 13) The Second Time ( S. Nicks / R. Vito )
Simple and understated , saving some of the best till last - a truly wonderfulballad , with a soulful performance on lead vocal by Stevie .
~ Overview ~
An album only for the true Mac fanatic , who collects the entire catalogue of recordings . The departure of Buckingham and with it his song writing talents and arranging talents is ...
Advantages: Some great songs Disadvantages: Not a true career retrospective
which he thanks God for how beautiful his child is, has a wonderful energy and effervescence, 'For Once In My Life' sounds as sprightly and awe-inspiring now as it did the day it was recorded and 'My Cherie Amour' is still the sweetest thing ever put onto vinyl. However, there are times when the incessant balladeering, which isn't wholly representative of Stevie's career, even though the compilers of collection such as this would rather it be that way, gets a little too annoying and I found myself crying out for something just a little bit more abrasive. It's a pity that in these less enlightened times the impact of StevieWonder's career seems to have been dimmed by his success, indeed suggesting that 'I Just Called?' and its success meant that the public no longer saw Stevie as an artist who could make social commentary, which he done ...

Edition features the previously unreleased track "If Ever." Collecting some of the most remarkable R&B released by any artist in the second half of the 20th century, let alone some of the greatest pop ballads, this down-tempo set concentrates chiefly on Stevie Wonder's early-'70s albums, including the heartfelt "Never Dreamed You'd Leave," from 1971's innovative WHERE I'M COMING FROM, the shimmering keyboards of the classic "You Are the Sunshine of My Life," from TALKING BOOK, and INNERVISIONS' "All in Love Is Fair."
