Albums with lots of Clavinet?

What are some albums which contain tons of Clavinet?

Obviously, '70s Stevie Wonder albums are filled with Clavinet work... Recommendations do not have to be great albums, nor do they have to be funky (Gilbert O'Sullivan's "I'm a Writer not a Fighter" has plenty of Clav but no funk).

Any suggestions? Thanks...

Yo, Italian symphonic rock, represent.
Luciano Basso's _Voci_ has gobs of clavinet. Basso's playing is very
fast, very baroque, very delicious and very nutritious. And don't
even get me started on the mindblowing clavinet/harpsichord duels.

Also check out Banco Del Mutuo, _Darwin!_.
70's Italian rock albums were loaded with overblown electronic
keyboards.

Any NRBQ album (Terry Adams still plays one of those things after 36 years, and I understand it's a bitch to fix it).

Hugo Montenegro, Moog Power

The title is rather misleading.

Anything by Billy Preston.

How is that Hugo Montenegro record? It's been on my wishlist for years.

Thanks for the suggestions... Will be shopping for these today. Just thought of two additional Clavinet-heavy albums:

Harry Nilsson - The Point!
Herbie Hancock - Thrust (lots of Clavinet through a wah wah pedal)

Any others?

Does John Cale ever play this? On a Nick Drake album? Or does he play celeste? Or is it somebody called John Cale Celeste?
