2024 Charity Shop Purchases # 46 - Carole King - Tapestry
I have a fairly battered and crackly vinyl copy of Carole King's classic 1971 album Tapestry courtesy of Val's Vinyl
As I said in the VV post it reminds me of my late glamourous Aunt Jean. My folks didn't have many records but I remember Aunt Jean had this one which in my book made her pretty trendy.
It seemed sensible to pick up a more pristine copy for a pound particularly as it also had a couple of bonus tracks stuck on at the end.
Carole co-wrote all the songs on the album. Unless you have been living in a cave since 1970 you will be familiar with the majority of them.
As the blurb on the back cover states Tapestry was a ground breaking record not only for music, but for women in music. Blending soothing pop songs with heartfelt lyrics, the album struck a universal cord.
Over five million people can't be wrong
Here are three you will recognise that didn't feature last time round
Carole King -I Feel The Earth Move
YES!!! VAL IS BACK!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of those records that takes me back to my early childhood because my mom played her copy on the living room stereo... a lot. - Brian
