Product code: Record Store Day Carole King Exclusive Clear shops Vinyl
Carole King, recently inducted into the rock & roll hall of fame by another brilliant song writer, Taylor Swift. More than a decade ago, Carole King finally opened the vaults to unveil a collection of her demos - tracing her journey from the Brill Building to Laurel Canyon. Now, those 1961-1970 demos have arrived on vinyl in an "ivory clear" pressing. There's something appropriate about that color choice, as King's own demos represent her clear and pure musical vision. Five demos from Tapestry are included as well as a galvanizing take on that album's "(You Make Me Feel Like a) Natural Woman" which predates Aretha Franklin's original recording. The biggest thrill, though, comes from hearing King sing The Monkees' "Pleasant Valley Sunday" and The Righteous Brothers' "Just Once in My Life." Good as the demos of "It's Too Late" and "You've Got a Friend" all would have been incredible on Tapestry. These 13 tracks are waiting for you.. are you shops ready?.
