A bit inconsistent, does NOT live up to the heights nor the cohesiveness of Innervisions, but it does feature some of my favorite Stevie tunes like Sir Duke, I Wish and If It's Magic. I own a first-press of this thing, and one vinyl has side one and four, the other has two and three.

Agree, Innervisions much better as an album, but still some great songs on SITKOL (but perhaps a bit too long).

That was because of automatic record changers back in the day. Lots of double albums from the time have that (and itโ€™s very annoying now since we're not using automatic record changers anymore)

In the case of this album, I don't mind. It's not like it needs to be listened to in the right order, the way that concept albums and other double albums from this era does.

I never knew that. Iโ€™ve learned my new music fact for the day. Makes sense though.

As said already,
Innervisions by Stevie Wonder is a more consistent album but I do love SITKOL but it can feel a little overlong. Great listen though

That isn't really 100% true. There are still a number of older turntables still in use. Mine is from 1977. Vintage turntables are preferred by many people.
