  • King's Mixed Bag

    3 out of 5 stars
    JfPotuo6 August 2025United States🇺🇸

    This album has a handful of standout tracks, but it's not one of King's top-tier works. The title reflects her songwriting approach, as she often adopts different perspectives in these songs, with mixed results. Standouts include "Being At War With Each Other", "A Quiet Place To Live", "Corazon", and "Believe In Humanity". The sound quality is decent, King's piano has a rich, warm tone, and the vocals and instruments are well-defined and separated, creating a wide, open sound. My copy shows some signs of use, and there's a bit of surface noise present.

  • King's Mixed Album Highlights

    3 out of 5 stars
    ZlHurao24 July 2025United States🇺🇸

    This album has a handful of standout tracks, but it's not one of King's top-notch works. The title of the album reflects her songwriting approach, as she pens many of these tunes from different viewpoints...it hits the mark at times, but misses at others. Standouts are "Being At War With Each Other", "A Quiet Place To Live", "Corazon" and "Believe In Humanity". The sound quality is decent, King's piano has a rich, warm tone, vocals and instruments are distinct and well-defined, creating an expansive, open sound. My copy shows some signs of use, and there's a bit of background noise throughout.

    Carol King's magnificent album is a true masterpiece: inventive, refined, and cleverly crafted melodies that captivate and charm. The tracks flow seamlessly into one another, forming a cohesive whole. King showcases her artistic brilliance, reminiscent of her peak years from '71 to '73. The 1993 CD release boasts excellent sound quality.

The tracks flow seamlessly into one another, creating a cohesive suite. King is at her artistic peak, echoing the brilliance of her work from 1971 to 1973. The 1993 CD version delivers excellent sound quality.

  • Solid 70's CK Pressing

    This is a solid pressing with the usual 70's hiss. Awesome sound and tunes if your a CK enthusiast.
