Tapestry by Carole King 1987-07-07 U.S. Edition Classic Album with 2 Bonus Tracks , 14 Tracks Total

Carol King is brilliant. The live versions are excellent and in the same sequence as the popular album, adding a degree of predictability to the non-produced live versions. The performances are - at times - a bit tentative in an innocent way, and give a genuine impression of an up and coming superstar who has launched a promising career but still has big things to come. It presents a refreshing view that makes her music more "real" than the pasturized version we're all familiar with. I highly recommend it to anyone who grew up "in the era." You will not be disappointed.

Why buy another copy of tapestry AGAIN??? Because of the acoustic bonus tracks of tapestry,giving insight to Carole king's greatest album!

My wife and I went to see James Taylor and Carole King in concert and ran out to buy this CD set. Great stuff. The first CD is set to full background music support while the second CD is more intimate. Carole sings the same songs playing the piano as her sole background. Even though they are the same songs, they sound completely different, almost as if you were listening to her in a small club. Do yourself a favor and own this set. It already is a "classic".

Awesome!

Love it that i can find it with amazon. Reminds me of the past. Never thought I'd hear it again .

love it

Love it

A classic made even better by excellent re-mastering. Even if you have the original cd like I did, the improvement in the sound quality alone, even without the accompanying live cd, gives you back your money's worth.

A lovely, gifted singer of varied songs. A joy.

There are few albums of which it can be said that anyone who appreciates music with integrity should own a copy. This is one such album. This particular issue includes a second disc of live, acoustic versions of each song which further reveals the superb quality and craftmanship exhibited here.There are few albums of which it can be said that each song on them is a classic. This is one such album. Enjoy!

I have grown up with album. First on vinyl then cassette then CD but finally, even though it's been our for a long time, I finally upgraded to the Legacy Edition..............and boy was it worth the wait. First of all the Album itself sound so much better than my nearly 13 year old original CD. Thank god for remastering. The tracks sound crisper and clearer than ever before. I know some people complain about the sound on a CD being too clean sometimes but on this occasion the cleaner sound makes for a brand new experience. As for the bonus 2nd CD. It's Carole at her best. All that disappoints me is the lack of a live version of "Where You Lead". Other than that this is one CD that I thing can't get any better

Bought for a friend

Embarrassed to say I can still remember all the lyrics from over 40 years ago. It must be good they have made a musical from it!

Great songs on this album. Nostalgic listening to it.

Great value and in great condition

Bought for reasons of nostalgia. It works!

My favourite. Good value classic

A desirable timeless classic

Tapestry, a must classic album. Excellent!

Good Album

Love it!

I have always been a fan of Carole King which makes it suprising that I have never bought any of her records in the past.Everything about this CD is perfect. Her music goes without saying and the presentation and packaging are equally so.Anyone who who loves good middle of the road music of quality should rush to buy it quickly.A whole new generation is discovering the perfection of Miss King.

この、Legasiy Editionと1999年発売の国内盤 ESCA 5283と聴き比べてみました。リミックス版は総じて、音圧（出力）が高いので、若干、音量を下げて聴きました。音量がアップしただけでクオリティ（特に低音域）が、上がったと思うのを防ぐ為です。最初に感じたのは、Eギターのカッテング音が綺麗に響いている事でした、ギターのコードカッテングは基本の奏法なのですが奥が深い奏法でも、有るのですよね、ギターを弾いた事が有る方なら、お判りの事と・・・ストリングスの音が福よかになり、奏者は何人いるの？数えたくなるほどです（自分だけなのか？）他にも、書きたいことが山ほど有りますが、ブラシーボ効果となって、せっかくの名盤の視聴の妨げに、なるかもしれないので止めます。Disc 2の方は、キャロル様の人柄が垣間見えるので、それなりに宜しいですね。ミニコンポ類の装置でも、クオリティの違いは解ると思います。旧盤を、お持ちの方も、買って損はないと思います。
