Stevie Wonder's Journey Through "The Secret Life of Plants" is an album by Stevie Wonder, originally released on the Tamla Motown label on October 30, 1979. It is the soundtrack to the documentary The Secret Life of Plants, directed by Walon Green, which was based on the book of the same name by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird.

Tamla/Motown originally released the album as a double LP in a tri-fold sleeve. The front cover was embossed, and following Wonder's recent trend of printing Braille messages on his albums, the cover illustration was captioned below in Braille for blind readers:

GUIDE TO CONDITION

We endeavour to describe condition as accurately as possible using one of the following 5 levels of grading however this should be taken as a broad guide to the items condition.

NOTE   please bear in mind the condition appraisal is solely based on a visual inspection i.e. not play tested

EXCELLENT - perfect condition with no audible or visible defects whatsoever. The record and cover/sleeve are exactly as brand new.

VERY GOOD PLUS -  one or two very minor but visible surface marks on the cover / sleeve or record surface. Audio may have slight background crackle

VERY GOOD - Vinyl looks like it has experienced a lot of use. It’s still useable, but it may carry a few distortions. Light visible scratches, and it may have split edges.  For the most part, a VG-rated record is undamaged. Upon closer inspection, however, its use will be apparent—both visually and audibly.

GOOD - there may be a number of surface marks /  scratches on vinyl causing music having distortions  The cover / sleeve may also show  wear.

FAIR to GOOD – should play well without jumping, however the surface and / or cover / sleeve probably may show visible signs of wear due to the fact that it has been played on a regular basis. There may a few audible surface marks which may cause some minor crackles and pops.

FAIR - The surface and/or cover/sleeve may show visible signs of wear due to the fact that it has been played on a regular basis. The Vinyl may crackle and pop but does not jump unless stated otherwise in the actual item description.

POOR to FAIR - a vinyl of poor condition. Discs with these ratings often have major noise issues. They may skip, repeat and reveal scratching noises often. Frequently, these records may be cracked or have deep scratches. Their covers may be either badly damaged or destroyed completely..
