Rolling Stone Magazine described this Album on its original release stating "it confirmed that Carole King is one of the most creative figures in all of pop music." Q Magazine gave this Album Five Stars out of Five stating "if the term singer/songwriter gained currency anywhere, it wouldn't be far from here. Perhaps it is time to put aside the baggage that TAPESTRY brings with it and celebrate instead a classic rock record." Joining Carole King on this Album are James Taylor, as well as Joni Mitchell and an All-Star lineup of musicians. Originally recorded on Ode including Liner Notes by James Taylor. During the sixties, Carole King was renowned for composing a succession of classic pop songs. A low-keyed recording career blossomed with the release of TAPESTRY which successfully married her skill with the contemporary songwriter movement. TAPESTRY is comprised of self-penned material and collaborations with her ex-husband and lyricist, Tony Stern. King's unfuzzy vocal style enhances the simply stated yet astute material and in "It's Too Late" the singer expresses the breakdown of a relationship with precipient incisiveness. Such a skill endures the Album's lasting popularity. Selections: 1. I Feel The Earth Move 2. So Far Away 3. It's Too Late 4. Home Again 5. Beautiful 6. Way Over Yonder 7. Out In The Cold 8. You've Got A Friend 9. Where You Lead 10. Will You Love Me Tomorrow 11. Smackwater Jack 12. Tapestry ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS OF ALL-TIME. 2ND THERE IS THIS COLLECTORS MASTERPIECE Carole King The Carnegie Hall Concert June 18, 1971 Numbered MFSL Limited Edition 180g 2LP now out of print and also tremendously rare AUDIOPHILE MASTERPIECE PRISTINE SEALED MFSL NUMBERED 738 VERIFIED 1ST RELEASE FROM 2011 ORIGINAL RELEASE AND APART OF THE 1ST STAMPERS OF THIS 2011 MFSL COLLECTORS AUDIOPHILE OUT OF PRINT 180 GRAM 1/2 SPEED MASTERED VINYL LP. IF YOU ARE A COLLECTOR AND WANT TO OWN 1ST RELEASES FROM MFSL THEN THIS NUMBER 738 VERIFIES THIS THE ORIGINAL 2011 RELEASE NOT THE RE-ISSUE IN MUCH HIGHER NUMBERS. Numbered, Limited Edition! Half-Speed Mastered from the Original Tapes: Intimate Sonics Make It Seem Like King is Sitting Five Feet Away! Carole King The Carnegie Hall Concert: June 18, 1971 on Numbered Limited Edition 180g 2LP from Mobile Fidelity. From-the-Vault Live Release Captures Iconic Singer-Songwriter at Height of Her Breakout Period. Stripped-Down Songs Teem With Warmth, Nuance, Emotion; James Taylor Also Appears. Every so often, a from-the-vault release captures our hearts, minds, and attention in such a way that it’s impossible not to tell all family, friends, and neighbors about its existence. Originally issued to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Tapestry, Carole King’s The Carnegie Hall Concert: June 18, 1971 is such a record, a fortunate document of an absolutely magical period in the singer-songwriter’s legendary career and a revealing look at the then-stagefright artist turning in a commanding performance just as she was becoming a superstar. Half-speed mastered from the original tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered limited-edition 180g LP of this compelling concert album brims with liveliness, depth, dimension, detail, and transparency. The nuances of King’s spare performances and warm vocals emanate as if she’s sitting five feet away. Stripped down even further than they are on the studio albums, songs breathe with palpable earnestness and emotion, the subtle differences from their more polished studio brethren allowing listeners an insight into King’s creative genius. At the time of its recording, King still suffered from shyness—and who could blame her? She had been accustomed to penning lyrics for other artists and sitting behind a desk in the Brill Building. Only recently did King strike out on her own and enter the public realm. This set encapsulates this contrast in thrilling fashion. Disarmingly genuine and daringly honest, The Carnegie Hall Concert: June 18, 1971 benefits from the inclusion of King’s nervous between-song banter that exposes who she is as a person and performer. Most importantly, despite her anxiety, she turns out stirring renditions of tunes from 1970’s Writer, Tapestry, and even a few from the yet-unreleased Music (also available from Mobile Fidelity MFSL 1-352). Her control is demonstrated on the record’s six opening cuts, which feature King alone at her piano. For the remainder of the program, she’s accompanied by guitarist Danny Kortchman, bassist Charles Larkey, and a string quartet, which enter and exit according to arrangement. As such, the concert is profoundly intimate and personal, an “unplugged” session that predated the use of the term by nearly two decades. Longtime collaborator James Taylor joins her for a memorable medley of some of her biggest hits—“Will You Love Me Tomorrow/Some Kind of Wonderful/Up on the Roof”—the chemistry evident of why the duo’s 2010 tour was one of the most in-demand outings in years. Mobile Fidelity’s remastered sound ties everything together and is what makes this release extra special. By going to the original source, the audiophile label considerably opens up the sonic perspectives, revealing the spacious acoustics of the famed venue that act in concert with King’s music. In particular, the songs from Writer benefit from the no-nonsense production. You can literally picture King’s piano beside her, and her voice—sincere, tender, melodic—is rich, full-bodied, and penetrating. Listeners can even hear it crack on occasion, the results a consequence of her nerves. Unpolished and non-synthetic, the performance is better for it. No, they don’t make albums like this anymore. The Carnegie Hall Concert: June 18, 1971 as real as it gets. And so is the sound. Get your collectible copy now!

Numbered, Limited Edition! Half-Speed Mastered from the Original Tapes: Transparent, Soulful, Pure Sonics Make Music Seem Like a New Album! Carole King Music on Numbered Limited Edition 180g LP. King's 1971 Studio Album a Model of Impeccable Songwriting, Fluent Melodies, Unfettered Expression. Blend of Originals Spans R&B, Pop, Folk. Released on the heels of her breakthrough, Tapestry, Carole King’s Music is every bit the equal of its more famous predecessor, a Number One smash that features impeccable songwriting, infallible melodies, and extraordinary piano playing. In short, everything that’s made King an institution. After of years of being overshadowed, this 1971 singer-songwriter classic has finally been given the audiophile treatment it’s long deserved. Half-speed mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered limited-edition 180g LP of King’s second solo masterpiece is rife with intimacy, transparency, soulfulness, and you-are-there sound. Never before remastered, Music seems like a brand-new album, King’s familiar voice, intelligent arrangements, and ravishing support band presented on a deep, three-dimensional soundstage. Your appreciation for and understanding of King’s inspirational lyrics and ravishing performances will increase tenfold. Mobile Fidelity’s 180g LP brings you that much closer. Accompanied by percussionist Bobbye Hall, drummer Russ Kinkel, guitarist/vocalist James Taylor, and a cavalcade of professional wind musicians, King delves further into R&B and jazz-derived pop, coming up aces every time. Warm, intelligent, and cohesive, songs echo with simplicity and honesty. And as is typical of much of King’s work, several of tunes here were later covered by other artists, including “It’s Going To Take Some Time” (the Carpenters). Yet the originals trump the later renditions, and the rendition of the standard “Some Kind of Wonderful” stands as the best ever recorded. With Taylor lending more of a hand on Music than he does on Tapestry, King expands her confident reach on the piano and peppers the songs with graceful touches of saxophone, flute, pedal-steel guitar, and woodwinds. Ballads sway (“Surely”), gospel brightness lifts spirits (“Brighter”), and backup vocals float heavenly pop (“Song of Long Ago”). Yet the best aspect is King’s voice, infused with fondness, concern, joy, and a quiet power that parallels the delicacy and deliberate nature that define Music. Mobile Fidelity’s audiophile edition is free of the limiting artifacts that have helped keep this record in the dark for the better part of the past few decades. Previously diminished, acoustic guitars, subtle brass elements, and soft percussion contribute to the enjoyment of the songs, and King’s voice—pleasant, assuring, emotional—comes through with incredible clarity and inflection. The brilliance of the legendary Lou Adler’s original production is restored to its full glory. If it’s at all possible—and it is—this treasure now sounds even more heartwarming than it did upon original release. The companion to Tapestry, Music is an aural—and sonic—delight.

You've Got A Friend (circa 1970) LASTLY FOR THE CAROLE KING FAN HER GROUP "THE CITY" TITLE NOW THAT EVERYTHING BEEN SAID ALSO OUT OF PRINTFirst official vinyl reissue!24-bit/96kHZ remaster from the original tapesNew notes by Steve Hochman featuring interviews with band members and producer Lou AdlerWe all know the Carole King who wrote some of the biggest hits of the ‘60s, from "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" to "Pleasant Valley Sunday," via "The Locomotion" and "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman." We also know the singer-songwriter behind Tapestry, the album that launched King as a solo singer in her own right. But in between-and not nearly as well known-is King's band, The City, and their album, Now That Everything's Been Said.By the mid-‘60s, King's marriage to Gerry Goffin, with whom she'd written many of those wonderful hits, had hit the rocks. A divorce loomed, and King all but retired to raise their two daughters. She headed west to Laurel Canyon in ‘67, taking the children with her, and made the previously unlikely move of joining a progressive folk-rock band. King formed The City with future husband Charles Larkey on bass and Danny Kortchmar on guitar and vocals. With King on piano and vocals, they created a folk rock sound that pre-empted the singer-songwriter boom of the ‘70s.Produced by Lou Adler and featuring Jimmy Gordon on drums, The City's sound is deep and soulful, imperfect but passionate. And the songs, with King writing or co-writing all but one, are as exceptional as you'd expect and as widely covered as her factory work. "Now That Everything's Been Said" was a hit for American Spring, "A Man Without A Dream" was tackled by The Monkees, and "Hi-De-Ho (That Old Sweet Roll)" was a hit for Blood, Sweat & Tears. Central to the album's appeal is King's own stirring reading of her track "Wasn't Born To Follow," covered masterfully by The Byrds for the Easy Rider soundtrack.King had been used to a life on the sidelines, and her stage fright left the trio unable to tour the LP which adversely affected their fortunes. That, plus some behind-the-scenes distribution problems, meant the album was quickly deleted, and it remained so for the next 30 years — partly at King's request. Even so, its failure was a surprise to those concerned. "I was 26 when Now That Everything's Been Said was released in 1968," King says of the album. "[We] expected it to zoom to the top of the charts within, at most, a few weeks. Individually and together, we optimistically imagined the album's success as if it had already happened. Danny and Charlie kept telling each other, 'It's a great album. The City is gonna be No. 1 with a bullet!'"Reissued here on deluxe vinyl for the first time, this is, at long last, a chance for this remarkable lost album to be heard.Side 11. Snow Queen2.
