Two amazing albums, remastered and packaged together in this very special collector’s edition!

Contains 16-page booklet including rare photos, vintage memorabilia and detailed liner notes as well as 5 bonus tracks consisting of hard to find sides from the same period!! Groomed from an early age for Motown stardom, Stevie Wonder mastered the label’s distinctive fusion of pop and soul, inflected with the energy of jazz and R&B. Nearly everything he recorded bore the stamp of his sunny, joyous positivity. Even when he addressed serious racial, social and spiritual issues, or sang about heartbreak and romantic uncertainty, an underlying sense of optimism and hope always seemed to emerge. During his first three years in show business, Wonder was presented as an R&B screamer in the Ray Charles mold. This quintessential release presents Little Stevie Wonder’s first two LPs: his instrumental debut 'The Jazz Soul of Little Stevie' and 'Tribute to Uncle Ray', which were both produced by Clarence Paul and originally issued by Tamla Records in 1962. Wonder was extremely sophisticated for his age and his talents as a singer, percussionist, harmonica player, keyboardist and composer are widely evident here.
