·       THE CITY (CAROLE KING AND HER BAND'S (THE CITY) - NOW THAT EVERYTHING'S BEEN SAID THE GROUP’S FIRST AND ONLY ALBUM)  -  1969 ODE STEREO LP Z1244012

·       GENUINE  U.S. PRESSING

·       SECOND VERSION OF THE COVER WITH BLACK &  WHITE PHOTO

·       PLEASE NOTE: WHILE WE KNOW FOR FACT THAT YOU WILL FIND ORIGINAL ODE PRESSING INSIDE, AND WHILE WE GUARANTEE THAT THE RECORD INSIDE ITSELF IS AUTHENTIC AND MADE FROM THE SAME STAMPERS AS ANY OTHER ORIGINAL PRESSING OF THIS TITLE, WE HAVE GRAVE MISGIVINGS ABOUT THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE COVER; NAMELY,  THE BLACK & WHITE COVER YOU NEVER SEE ON THE OFFICIAL ODE RELEASES OF THIS TITLE. OUR UNCONFIRMED AND HIGHLY SPECULATIVE THEORY IS THAT THIS PRESSING COMES FROM THE BATCH OF ILLICIT (UNAUTHORIZED) PRESSINGS MADE BY ONE OF COLUMBIA'S (ALSO SHARED BY ODE'S) SHADY AND DUBIOUS DISTRIBUTING AGENTS, PRODUCED BY USING THE INSIDER ACCESS AND PRESSING PRIVILEGE PROVIDED BY COLUMBIA.  SIMILAR SEMI-LEGAL "INSIDE JOB" PRESSINGS (FURNISHED TO THE LOCAL RETAILERS, BUT NOT REPORTED TO THE PARENT COMPANY) ARE ALSO KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN BY OTHER COLUMBIA/EPIC/ODE/IMMEDIATE ARTISTS AT THE TIME: IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY,  SMALL FACES, YARDBIRDS,  SPIRIT, SIMON AND GARFUNKEL AND OTHERS. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY BEARING ON THE QUALITY OF THE SOUND.  

*** STILL SEALED LP ***

·       THIS IS NOT AN IMPORT, RECORD CLUB RELEASE OR A COUNTERFEIT PRESSING.

·       ORIGINAL, THICK CARDBOARD COVER (AMERICAN STYLE)

·       THICK, HEAVY VINYL PRESSING

(►PLEASE SEE THE IMAGE OF THE COVER, LABEL OR BOTH, SHOWN BELOW)

Between the time she was a Brill Building mainstay and her re-emergence as an early '70s superstar, Carole King recorded a one-shot album as a member of the City, a trio consisting of King on piano and vocals, Danny Kortchmar on guitar and vocals and Charles Larkey on bass, with Jim Gordon (of the Derek & the Dominoes) sitting in on drums. The result was one of the most interesting, rewarding, and wonderful detours in King's career, and one that has stubbornly resisted reissue in her U.S. catalog. The group didn't last, and less than a year later King emerged as a solo performer on Writer, and then came Tapestry...

The City has more of an integrated ensemble sound, and less prominence to King, than her subsequent records, even though she used bigger backing groups on most of her solo sides. The album squeezes the best out of her voice (and piano, which sounds gloriously resonant). The soft but clear, gently tapped percussion in the opening seconds of "Snow Queen," and the close-up twang and crunch of Danny Kortchmar's guitar on "Wasn't Born to Follow," also enhance the listening.

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ►click here (PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID).

(b)          The record is  apparently  pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
