Man, it's hard to get yours hands on a fine copy of this single, which is probably the greatest record Stevie Wonder made in the 1960s. Essential Motown! And yet, for some unfathomable reason, it got the axe a couple of years ago by the only reissue company still making it. Go figure. At the same time, they cut "Signed, Sealed And Delivered" from the catalog. :-( Â Note: This copy comes in a vintage Tamla Records factory sleeve. The A side label has ringwear, a large "6A" and large initials written on it. The audio is glorious, in that big, sparkly way Motown had of mixing their vinyl singles back then. This is a first-pressing copy with the "Globes" Tamla logo.
