Christmas Eve 1963, in Concordia, Entre Ríos. Waldo Athena had married his high school sweetheart, and enjoyed a prosperous and fulfilling existence. Every night after work, ate dinner together that she had prepared with obvious care. Never missing flowers for his lovely wife and she never spared efforts to meet her husband, lavishing all kinds of attention and pampering, cementing a nice routine passed between kisses, compliments, some slight nerve, innuendo and always pleasant fulfillment of marital duties.
. Waldo
loved good music of his time and had taken the habit to surprise your spouse with a beautiful long-play every weekend, even though Athena was not exactly a fan of melomanía, however, knew cope when the best way. "How long can an LP? "35 minutes?" , she always said, half jokingly, but careful not to offend the sensibilities of her husband.
.
Waldo dedicated her to introduce his wife in the enjoyment of music, and it was left by Osvaldo Marchesini advise the owner of a music scholar of downtown, where Waldo went in search of new popular music. Don Osvaldo advised him this or that album that Waldo was wrapping without hesitation. So the home went through marriage the Ronettes, Lee Hazlewood, Nat King Cole, Solomon Burke, Johnny Cash, The Ventures, Roy Orbison, Bill Cosby and other stars of the pop firmament, that delighted the soul of Waldo, and formed, so speak, Athena's little feet dancing. This, far more affecting historical novels, was to see her husband as he was having a delightful time, when in reality ... ahem ... in truth, neither was he was suffering before the Inquisition.
.
One day, Waldo, thinking and better versed in the matter, passed through the record store inquiring about the Tamla Motown label (emblem of the soul and rhythm & blues), to which he suggested be Don Osvaldo " That Stubborn Kinda Fellow "by Marvin Gaye, a promising young black of that label. Not convinced, Waldo asked for another album that was half hidden behind a jukebox in disuse. "No, no, that is to return" , told Marchesini, "because nobody wants" . Waldo, wearing some mischief on his face, asked to give it the same, saying: "That the verdict of my wife. Wrap it, but for Christmas ".
.
returned home by taxi, Waldo recalled the repeated phrase of Athena, "How long can an LP? "35 minutes?" , laughing to himself, as he cast a glance at the newly purchased drive. What I never imagined it would be the scariest 35 minutes of his life. Almost finishing the B-side album "With a song in my heart "by Stevie Wonder, Athena underwent a metamorphosis that transformed his face perpetual resigned in another alarming aspect of psychotic. He rose from the couch, pulled the LP turntable, and with this in hand, began to break as plate, table, mirror and ornament in its path. Later, hit her husband with a poker until the poor, as he could crawl out of the house of pain.
.
Waldo and Athena was the first marriage separately in the history of Concord. They had been together for ... seven months!
This story is fictional, of course, but its consequences are not far from what actually might happen if you do not take seriously the impact that triggers this vinyl.
This album is more boring than a game of chess via radio and more outrageous that a degree in social work right. Stevie, the genius of soul the world admire years later by gems like "Songs in the key of life" or "Innervisions", was only 13 when she published this nonsense. Berry Gordy, Tamla Motown president, made him sing, the style crooner , standards and smooth-jazz swing with symphony orchestra, what was the greatest artist novel misfit that bell in clericó, especially when he was in the middle stage of change the voice. There are moments which produce anxiety when Wonder tries to reach very high notes, too much like a Doris Day bird flu. This is evident in numbers like "Make someone happy" or "Dream", with "With a song in my heart" the only exception in which the interpreter does not do the ridiculous. In short, a blunder on common sense.
has an old joke of the day to meet Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles for a concert piano four hands, would be a huge risk, because the first move your head sideways and the second, nodding. There could be a monumental clash of skulls and the concert would end in catastrophe.
n
Epilogue: Do not try to entertain your partner with this album, because you would have to leave your house, no "with a song in my heart" but with a horrendous record in the pants.

And I'm comparing. This album has less flag wave plate and is more useless than helicopter ejector seat. And the interpreter, who has less vision a dead man face down, gives us this abomination, heavier than sampling of anvils and drier than the Aztec priest towel.
OTHER identical copies: "Tribute to Uncle Ray" (1962), "Stevie at the beach" (1964) or "Eivets Rednow" (1968).
ANTIDOTE: "Innervisions" (1973).
