CAROLE KING | Tapestry | 1977 VINYL LP reissue

Description: Carole King Tapestry Artist: Carole King Title: Tapestry Release Year: 1971 Pressing Year: 1977 (reissue) Label: Ode / Epic Records Catalog Number: PE 34946 Run-Out Etchings: XT PAL-34946-1J Format: 33 RPM • 12” Album • Stereo UPC: none Carole King brought the fledgling singer/songwriter phenomenon to the masses with this album, one of the most successful albums in pop music history. A remarkably expressive and intimate record, it's a work of consummate craftsmanship. Always a superior pop composer, King reaches even greater heights as a performer; new songs rank solidly with past glories, and songs made famous by others take on added resonance when delivered in her own warm, compelling voice. With its reliance on pianos and gentle drumming, this recording is a light and airy work on its surface, occasionally skirting the boundaries of jazz, but it's also an intensely emotional record, the songs confessional and direct; in its time it connected with listeners like few records before it, and it remains an illuminating experience decades later.

Note: I haven't cleaned this 47-year-old vinyl record because everybody seems to prefer their own methods. I'll leave the cleaning up to the buyer. Also, I'm not a professional vinyl seller or buyer. This comes from my own collection. Bought at Books, Strings & Things, downtown Blacksburg VA. Enjoy the auction — and good luck!
