JAMES TAYLOR- MUD SLIDE SLIM - 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION THE LOOSE WRAP 2008 ISSUE Featured in Michael Fremer's Heavy Rotation in the March 2008 Issue of Stereophile! Mud Slide Slim is the follow-up to the landmark Sweet Baby James by Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter James Taylor. Released in 1971, it brought about a shift in Taylor's songwriting focus. The confessional songwriter was obviously not comfortable in his new role as a spokesman. His depression, heartbreak, and addiction informed the lyrical content of his work to the extent that he was able to exceed the cultural and personal markers established by his first offerings. Full of references to the road and highway, the songs were put up as a defense against the world, not an embrace of it. Featuring one of Taylor's biggest successes to date, the Carole King-penned "You've Got a Friend", Mud Slide Slim is presented here in glorious 180g vinyl reissue. Remastered from the original analog tapes and contained within original art and gatefold packaging, this is an important James Taylor record for any audiophile collection. Features: • Cut by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at AcousTech Mastering! • From the Original Analog Master Tapes! • Pressed on Virgin 180-Gram Vinyl at Record Technology, Inc. • Deluxe Gatefold Packaging Selections: 1. Love Has Brought Me Around 2. You've Got a Friend 3. Places in My Past 4. Riding on a Railroad 5. Soldiers 6. Mud Slide Slim 7. Hey Mister, That's Me Up on the Jukebox 8. You Can Close Your Eyes 9.

Isn't It Nice to Be Home Again James Taylor Never Die Young 180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE LP WITH GATEFOLD JACKET180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl Mastered Impeccably from the Original Columbia Records Tapes by Joe Reagoso at Friday Music Studios with Kevin Gray! Manufactured at RTI! When James Taylor releases an album, it is always a much welcomed event to his millions of fans around the globe. This superstar singer/songwriter/guitarist is undoubtedly one of America’s most important contributors ever to popular music. After a major run of hit recordings with Apple and Warner Bros. Records throughout most of the 70’s, James Taylor signed with Columbia Records and began even more decades of gold and platinum successes which have forever stood the test of time. His 1988 platinum achievement Never Die Young continued his winning streak. Filled with a number of hit singles and definitive album tracks, this masterwork LP kicks off with the smash title track Never Die Young. After the first few seconds of his signature guitar riffs and original lyric and vocal delivery, you know you are in for an unmistakable James Taylor musical journey. More hit sounds abound as his soulful voice and stunning guitar belt out memorable Taylor favorites like Baby Boom Baby, the country rock feel of Runaway Boy, as well as the uplifting funk of Sweet Potato Pie. The album continues its brilliance with one of his most interesting and clever compositions yet with his love ballad Valentine’s Day. More introspective James Taylor is found on favorites Home by Another Way and Letter in the Mail, which echo the brilliance of how James Taylor just reaches millions with his stellar voice and music. As a fine closer to this LP, the rhythm and emotion of First of May truly captivate the fans into yearning more and more listens of this powerful album.
