Published: July 19, 2014, 2:46 a.m.

b'A late pullout from\\nmy guest for episode 63 of LTA, and with no one else available on such short\\nnotice meant I had to record it by myself. Not my favourite way of doing a show\\n(good on you, Terry Frost for being able to do it on a weekly basis), but here\\nit is.\\n\\nThis time around, I talk about an album that many see as the\\npinnacle of Stevie Wonder\\u2019s career \\u2013 \\u201cSongs In The Key of Life\\u201d from 1976. Two\\nyears in recording, Berry Gordy of Motown took a real chance in signing up\\nSteveland Morris to a new 30 million dollar contract at the time of recording.\\nHe reportedly got very nervous the longer the recording went. He was rewarded\\nboth artistically and financially. An apt title for an album that\\u2019s hallmarks are\\nits diversity and excellence.\\n\\nEric Reanimator\\u2019s Album I Love segment is a beauty, as\\nalways. This time around he discusses The Bellrays\\u2019 \\u201cLet It Blast\\u201d. The common\\ndescription of this band is Aretha Franklin fronts the MC5. See what you think.\\n\\nYou can\\ndownload the podcast at iTunes by searching for \\u201clove that album\\u201d.
