It seems that *all* of the Stevie Wonder CD's which I've happened
across in the record stores were double albums (Songs in the Key
of the Secret Life of Plants, Musiquarium, etc.)  The prices were
a little hard hard to accept, especially when the LP version of
Life of Plants was selling on the opposite end of the store for
$1.99.  Although I haven't done the arithmetic, you would think
that some of these albums could be squeezed onto a single disk by
discarding a few of the clinkers.  But then, Stevie has always
been a marketing genius...  Either way, count me in among those
searching for "Innervisions" on CD.  My LP copy is threadbare
but I just can't see replacing it with another vinyl copy.

Incidentally, I believe that Chick Corea's "My Spanish Heart,"
which was originally a double LP, is available on a single CD.
He was probably able to do this without leaving out any tunes,
as some of the sides on the album were quite short.
