Fingertips - Pt 1 / Pt 2

Credited to Little Stevie Wonder, who was only 13 at the time. (Motown had signed him when he was just 10!) As a reminder, it was the B side—Part 2—that topped both the Pop and RnB charts here in the U.S, becoming Wonder's first hit. It's specially edited from a 7:00 album track. This is a beautiful copy of the second pressing with the rectangular Tamla logo, this one released in 1970. Judging from the source of this single, I speculate that Motown re-released "Fingertips" in 1970, some copies of which came in the original 1963 picture sleeve... like this one! This copy of the sleeve is gorgeous, with just a few light folds and virtually no ringwear (see scan). Note: The record itself looks new, with just very light storage wear on the labels and vinyl, and the audio (even before deep cleaning) sounds pristine!
