Released in 1974, Inspiration Information took Shuggie Otis three years to complete. The album was the third and final album Otis released for his record label. The album was released by major label Epic records who took issue with the amount of time it took to create the record and dropped Otis from the label.

Last year, this album was re-released with a second disc of tracks Shuggie had been working on from 1975 to 2013 (the second disc was title Wings of Love):
