Carole King's Tapestry gets Legacy treatment (which means loads of bonus tracks)

Caroleking I feel guilty for liking Carole King's Tapestry. It's probably becuz I hang around a load of garage punk sorts who only like things filled with fuzz and shouting. However, chances are, there's about 300 Carole King compositions in your collection. Aretha Franklin. Yep. King wrote for her. The blissed out psych of The Porpoise Song? It's her again! So with that explanation, I'll soldier on.

A new edition of Carole King's '71 album Tapestry will see release in April bolstered by live versions of its tracks recorded in '73 and '76. The first disc of the two-CD set includes the original album in remastered form plus the bonus studio cut "Out in the Cold."

Original producer Lou Adler also supplies track-by-track commentary in the liner notes. Disc two rounds up album tracks in sequence, taped in 1973 in Boston and Central Park, plus at a 1976 show at the San Francisco Opera House. 15 weeks at No. 1, 22 million copies sold worldwide... not normally things we crow about on these pages... but for an LP that features It's Too Late, Natural Woman and I Feel the Earth Move, I ain't gonna argue.
