JAMES TAYLOR - - "Gorilla" - Warner Bros. 1975 1st pressing

"Gorilla served notice to anyone expecting James Taylor to continue on in the personal, confessional vein of his first few albums that he did not intend to do so. Recording in Burbank with Warners staff producers Lenny Waronker and Russ Titelman, Taylor used a stellar backup band augmented by such guests as Graham Nash and David Crosby (who harmonized on the chart single "Mexico"), his wife Carly Simon, mandolinist David Grisman, saxophone player David Sanborn, Randy Newman on "hornorgan," and Little Feat slide guitarist Lowell George. This team worked on a set of light, pleasant songs that bordered on the generic ó one was called "Music," another "Love Songs" ó but were performed and sung with taste and care. How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)," the first of a series of bleached R&B covers, became a Top Ten hit, and the album restored Taylor's commercial fortunes, setting him on the steady path he would follow for decades after." - AMG

The record is Exc.
The jacket is VG
The LP plays/sounds Mint.

Lots of detail and definition. Good Bass with a clear midrange and open treble. A natural soundstage with good width and depth. Excellent imaging. Side 2 is even better. It has more of the same but now the sound opens up and becomes more transparent. Voices now have body and weight to them. A big difference.

Each record is washed on a VPI cleaning machine using a proprietary 3-5 agent process which is determined by the needs of the individual record. Each record is then listened to 100% to insure that the posted description is exactly what you can expect to get.
