Comments	Gatefold Sleeve. Recorded at A&M Recording Studios. Carole King's touchstone masterpiece Tapestry — The Essential Edition! Mastered at 45 RPM by Bernie Grundman Pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Pallas in Germany (sticker says "Pallas USA" and "Manufactured In Germany"). The first 2000 copies are numbered. Full lyrics on back cover. On labels: UNDER THE DIRECTION OF ODE SOUNDS AND VISUALS. Winner of four Grammys. No. 36 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time The striking cover photo says plenty about Carole King's wildly successful 1971 album Tapestry. Carole, barefoot in a bulky sweater and old jeans, was the obvious poster girl for a striking new singer/songwriter movement about to take the world by storm. A proven thoroughbred pop-song maven with a long track record of winners, King and songwriting partner Gerry Goffin had penned over 100 chart hits for the likes of the Shirelles, Drifters, Monkees, and Bobby Vee. But belting out her own dazzling material from behind the piano, King charted new ground with Tapestry. A runaway-train success, its songs were heard everywhere in the '70's on a string of newly-minted FM radio stations featuring adult-oriented rock. The harbinger of what became the mellow singer-songwriter movement, Tapestry is sublime art, a recording of graceful intimacy, confessional purpose, relaxed warmth, and soothing melody. Seemingly flawless, the 1971 world-beater is the rare kind of record that's handed on to generations and resonates with undiminished returns.
