STEVIE WONDER   "Talking Book"     LP        Tamla  T 319L

RARE original 1972 US pressing

Original gatefold jacket design with embossed braille.

The braille on the jacket outside spells out Stevie's name and the album title.

The braille on the inside gatefold has the message:  "Here is my music.  It is all I have to tell you how I feel.  Know that your love keeps my love strong.  --  Stevie."

This album introduced Wonder's smash hit song "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life".

Matrix numbers hand etched in the dead wax read:

Side 1:   HS-1994-2    B5RS-8107-RE-1    

Side 2:   HS-1993-1    B5RS-8106-RE-1

Superb NM wax, plays "like new".  

Some very light superficial paper scuffs/hairlines visible under bright light but have no discernible impact on sound quality. 

Super high gloss remains.  

Labels are clean, sharp and bright, look "like new".

Beautiful, clean NM- jacket.  Nice gloss remains.

Jacket front, back and inside gatefold color photos and text are rich and bright.

Minor ring/rub wear.

Solid, clean seams and spine.  No splits.

Spine print is crystal clear.

SEE PHOTOS for more details.

Here find the rare original US pressing of Stevie Wonder's "Talking Book", with embossed braille on the gatefold jacket, in pristine condition.  You will be very "hard pressed" to find another (unsealed) copy in similar much less finer condition.  Hoping this gem goes to a good home.

My Profile / Policies:

Note:  I've qualified for the "Top Rated Plus" seal from eBay, awarded to sellers who consistently deliver outstanding customer service.

Music is my passion.  I’ve been a collector for more than 50 years and have thousands of records in my personal collection, focused largely on 50’s and 60’s rock ‘n’ roll.  Recently retired, I look to downsize and sell select portions of my collection in hopes of financing future purchases of a few special pieces.  

All records I offer are from my personal collection, each cleaned using my Nitty Gritty Record Cleaning Machine.

Wax is play graded (not just visually graded), employing Goldmine Price Guide standards.

As I take great care to accurately describe my items, I do not accept returns unless my item description is incorrect.

All records are packaged with the wax outside the jacket (to avoid seam split in transit), enclosed in a plastic sleeve and shipped in robust record mailer boxes via USPS Media Mail, tracking included.

International customers pay shipping costs and duties per the eBay Global Shipping Program guidelines. 

Payment expected within 3 business days of auction closing.
