{"product_id":"talking-book-1","title":"Talking Book","description":"\u003cp\u003e180 Gram Heavyweight Vinyl reissue with Download of \u003ci\u003eTalking Book\u003c\/i\u003e the fifteenth album by Stevie Wonder, originally released in October 1972. As the second of five consecutive albums which made up Stevie's classic period, \u003ci\u003eTalking Book\u003c\/i\u003e found Wonder at the top of his game, combining tight song writing with warm electronic arrangements and effervescent vocal performances. Released in 1972 and sandwiched between the release of \u003ci\u003eMusic of My Mind\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eInnervisions\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTalking Book\u003c\/i\u003e saw the then 22 year-old Wonder enjoying more artistic freedom from Motown, taking over the production reins and playing most of the instruments himself. As a result, the sound of the album is sharply defined by Wonder's exquisite keyboard work, and his use of the Hohner clavinet model C on \u003ci\u003eSuperstition\u003c\/i\u003e became widely regarded as one of the definitive tracks featuring the instrument. Despite making the majority of \u003ci\u003eTalking Book\u003c\/i\u003e himself, the album also benefits from the talents of guest guitarists Jeff Beck, Buzzy Feton and Ray Parker, Jr who featured on \u003ci\u003eMaybe Your Baby and Lookin' For Another Pure Love.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UMC","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50468999528779,"sku":"339814","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/ecc4b01e-aa4a-444f-befd-7e8c9138c2f0_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1727354911","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/talking-book-1","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
