Valves, Vinyl & Jazz (Feat. Album: Carole King's Tapestry)

Each month will see a classic album presented by pro audio engineer Haden Boardman, followed by interpretations of classic tracks by talented house jazz band Pretty Standard in The Bailiff Bar.December’s classic album is the sublime 1971 album ‘Tapestry’ by Carole King. As a teenage song writer working with her husband Gerry Griffin in the late 1950's, in the world famous ‘Brill Building’, New York City, she penned the classic Shirelles number, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, the first American No 1 record by an all black girl group, and further into the 1960's, she wrote Little Eva’s The Locomotion (Little Eva was actually her baby sitter!) and of course the huge Aretha Franklin hit (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, plus countless other absolute classic records that were hits for The Chiffons, The Monkees, The Drifters, Billy Fury, Dusty Springfield, Bobby Vee and Herman’s Hermits.Tapestry was her second attempt at an album. On it she performs both The Shirelles' number, and Aretha Franklin’s hit, as well as having the hit singles I feel The Earth Move, It’s Too Late, and You’ve Got A Friend. The album was produced concurrently with James Taylor’s album Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizons. Taylor also recording You’ve Got Friend, and of course having a massive smash hit with it. James Taylor helped out on Tapestry, as did Joni Mitchell.We have secured a “Mobile Fidelity” re master of the album on audiophile grade vinyl. An all-analogue re master.
