				White Hot Stamper Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Pack Up The Plantation (Item #: pettypacku_1910_2001ex) Our Price: $199.99 The band's first official live album debuts, with Shootout Winning Triple Plus (A+++) sound or close to it on three sides and an excellent Double Plus (A++) side four This album gives you the "naked" sound of the real thing - the real voices and the real guitars and the real everything else The best sides here are big, full-bodied, present and lively, just the way we like 'em "The performances by the Heartbreakers are genuine and crisp, and there's enough sing-along and banter to the audience to identify this as a true classic rock concert recording. Petty and the Heartbreakers tear it up on hits like Refugee, American Girl, and Rockin' Around With You, and it's good to hear Stevie Nicks' appearance on the wonderful "Insider" (originally from Hard Promises).

				Super Hot Stamper Carole King Music (Item #: king_music_1903_9_01_03) Our Price: $74.99 Superb sound throughout with both sides earning solid Double Plus (A++) grades or BETTER The vocals are present and breathy, the piano and bass clear, not smeary or murky -- this one was one of the better copies from our recent shootout "... time has shown this album to be one of her finest... her songwriting is still in peak form, and there are many highlights including "It's Gonna Take Some Time" (also made into a hit by the Carpenters) and "Song of Long Ago" (with backing vocals by James Taylor)." - All Music, 4 Stars See all of our Carole King albums in stock more Info


				Carole King - Tapestry CBS Half-Speed Debunked (Item #: king_tapes_cbs_debunk) Sonic Grade: D A Hall of Shame Pressing The CBS Half Speed is ridiculously bright -- can you imagine a worse way to present this intimate music? The chances of there being Hot Stamper CBS Half-Speed Mastered pressings of Tapestry may be vanishingly small, but we can't say the number is zero. There could be some, but considering how bad an idea Half-Speed Mastering is, would they have much chance of beating our Hot Stampers? As a practical matter I would have to say the chances are zero.

				Carole King - Tapestry Classic Records Reviewed in the '90s (Item #: king_tapes_classic_records) Sonic Grade: B Another Classic Records LP reviewed. It's been quite a while since I played the Classic LP, but I remember it as being fairly good. At the time we wrote: It’s a little rolled off on the top, but it’s a good rolled off, because brightening it up would make it sound modern and wrong. It’s rich and full of body, especially the piano, the way modern recordings almost never are. See all of our Carole King LPs in stock more Info


				Carole King - Tapestry An Album We Are Clearly Obsessed With (Item #: king_tapes_obsess) TAPESTRY is an album we admit to being obsessed with -- just look at the number of commentaries we've written about it. We love the album and we hope you do too. If you have some time on your hands -- maybe a bit too much time on your hands -- please feel free to check out our commentaries. This link will take you to all of our other CAROLE KING albums. More Carole King more Info


				Carole King - Tapestry Our Shootout Winner from 2016 (Item #: king_tapes_2016) A distinguished member of the Better Records Rock and Pop Hall of Fame. Please note that we do not have a graphic for our chart to indicate the Four Plus grade, since we award it so rarely. Our rating system usually only goes to three pluses, but this side one was so amazing we had to give it a fourth! This White Hot pressing gives you TRULY KILLER SOUND for this classic album! It's not easy to find great sound for Tapestry. Most pressings are either dull and veiled, or hard and edgy in the midrange -- not exactly the kind of sound we're after. More Carole King more Info


				Carole King - Tapestry The Piano Stylings of Carole King (Item #: king_tapes_wtlf_1) One quality that we had no trouble recognizing on the better copies was TRANSPARENCY. The more transparent copies made it possible to hear through the mix to Carole's piano, which is usually placed toward the back of the mix. There it serves to underpin the music, playing more of a supporting role than a leading one, very unlike the piano on a Joni Mitchell album for example. The best copies let you easily follow Carole's playing all the way through every song, from start to finish, no matter how quiet her part or how far back in the mix she may be placed.

				Carole King - Tapestry Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? (Item #: king_tapes_wtlf) Another in our series of Home Audio Exercises with specific advice on What to Listen For (WTLF) as you critically evaluate your copy of Tapestry. Notice how the third track on side two, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, which Carole wrote when she was only eighteen and which became a big hit for The Shirelles, is actually the best sounding song on the entire album.

				Tapestry Testimonial ... A Drastic Improvement to My Music Collection ... (Item #: king_tapes_testimonial0208) Our good customer Owais purchased our hottest Hot Stamper Tapestry and wrote to tell us that even his wife agreed that the premium that he paid for it was money well-spent. I am very pleased with all of my purchases from you. In particular, the Carole King 'Tapestry' was breathtaking! You weren't wrong when you claimed that Side One was the world's best sounding version. I have had so many different versions of this album, both in analogue and in digital form, and nothing even comes close. This is my wife's favourite album of all time and even she had to admit that the premium that I paid for it was money well-spent. More Carole King more Info
