Carol King - Tapestry Ode/CBS Mastersound Gold EK 66226 (Sony SBM) EAC wavpak | Cue + Log + Scans | ~310 Mb | RS 1971 | Folk Rock TAPESTRY was one of the most popular albums of the 1970s, perfectly capturing the intimate, confessional mode of the singer/songwriter genre then in bloom, yet without the mawkishness or posing that later typified the style. Though Carole King had been successful in the '60s as a behind-the-scenes composer of Brill Building pop, her decision to perform her own material brought its craftsmanship and sincerity to the fore. In addition, everything about TAPESTRY, from its warm soft-rock arrangements to its cover art (which shows King lounging in her apartment in bare feet, a sweater and jeans), suggested something different. This was the casual, personal music of interiors, without any of the make-up of traditional pop. Master Sound releases are 24-karat gold CDs remastered from first-generation masters. This process utilizes 20-bit technology and S! ony's revolutionary "Super Bit Mapping" system.
