ABOUT CLASSIC RECORDS

This 180 gram pressing is the only way to verify that a 1st edition Collectors find from Classic Records mastered on a high-definition Virgin Vinyl pressing for superior fidelity. The nicest thing you can do for your stylus and your ears. The ultimate record -- the way music was meant to be heard and of superior quality for any Audiophile.

Classic Records has proven to be an audiophile company the best in the new millennium. However, Classic Records, unlike other top Audiophile Companies, does not place Limited Edition numbers on their LP jackets.

Moreover, of course cutting at 45 speed is the audiophile choice for the highest quality. A 45-RPM record is sonically superior to a 33 1/3 variety because of a 35 percent reduction of groove curvature compared to a 33 1/3 cut.. It means that while you cannot fit as much music into a 45, the undulations of the groove that your cartridge has to track are stretched over a longer distance. For these reissues, the music was displaced onto four sides, meaning each side contains about 10 minutes of music.

The only way you will get closer to this classic music is to listen to the master tapes or have been in the studio with the artist originally during the actual session.

You will be one of the last people in the world to own this 1st Edition Masterpiece.

There have been so few vinyl LPs produced over the last 5 years that you should never pass up the opportunity to upgrade your collection. They are each very limited in their pressings and disappear with extraordinary quickness from the vinyl market. This causes prices to skyrocket because once they are gone, they are gone forever! Don't second-guess yourself with this chance to upgrade your collection because before you know it, the opportunity will have passed forever.

Carole King: Tapestry

Tapestry is a ground-breaking pop album by singer-songwriter Carole King, released in 1971. It features minimal production by Lou Adler. It has earned a spot as one of the quintessential recordings of the rock era. Tapestry was ranked <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />US number 1 for 15 weeks and remained on the charts for over six years. The album also garnered four Grammy Awards including Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female, Record of the Year ("It's Too Late"); and Song of the Year ("You've Got a Friend").

The importance of this album stems not so much from its huge sales but from what critic Robert Christgau says in "Christgau's Record Guide": "King has done for the female voice what countless singer-composers achieved years ago for the male: liberated it from technical decorum. She insists on being heard as she is – not raunchy and hot-to-trot or sweeet and be-yoo-ti-ful, just human, with all the cracks and imperfections that implies." (1981)

King wrote or co-wrote all of the songs on the album, several of which had already been hits for other artists such as Aretha Franklin's "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" and The Shirelles' "Will You Love Me Tomorrow". Three songs were co-written with King's ex-husband Gerry Goffin. James Taylor, who encouraged King to sing her own songs, and who also played on Tapestry, would have a #1 hit with "You've Got a Friend."

• In 2003, the album was ranked number 36 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

• In 2001, the VH1 TV network named Tapestry the 39th greatest album ever.

• In 2003, it was one of 50 recordings chosen by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry.
