"Eivets Rednow (featuring "Alfie")" is a 1968 instrumental album released by Stevie Wonder on the Gordy (Motown) label. The album was released almost in secret. Because of Motown establishing Wonder as a soul-pop shouter, the label agreed to release the album with Wonder's name backwards. This would be copied by other musicians over the years. Wonder only plays harmonica, drums, and clavinet on this album and doesn't sing on any of the tracks. "How do you spell Steve Wonder backwards" is printed on the top corner of the album sleeve in small print, serving as a hint to the record buyer.
