Stevie Wonder - What Is Essential Is Invisible To The Eyes (1996)

Having seen a rumour online that Stevie Wonder had planned a follow-up to 'Fullfillingness First Finale', to be called 'Fullfillingness Second Finale', I set about trying to locate the songs mentioned in the proposed track listing. The first thing I found is that there is very little unreleased Stevie Wonder out there - I've only ever come across two or three live bootlegs from the classic 70's period, and unreleased studio recordings are almost non-existent. Having abandoned my quest and pretty much given up on the idea, I stumbled across an album which had apparently been put together by R&UT and posted on Youtube here, and found that it actually contained one of the songs that I was after, as well as a number of live and demo recordings which are definitely worth hearing. 'Livin' Off The Love Of The Land' and 'Reflections Of You' (renamed as 'Sky Blue Afternoon') might have appeared on 'Fullfillingness Second Finale', but the rest are mostly live renditions of songs that were never recorded in a studio, with just Stevie and his piano. There are also a couple of his contributions to film soundtracks and a rare single from 1990, so obviously the sound quality will vary considerably between the live and studio recordings. I've left off a few of the less successful recordings, cleaned up the rest to make for a more evenly flowing album, and added in a rare cut from 1964 to close the album.
