    not much of a fan of the album myself, a bit dull and the production is a bit scratchy. Never bought it myself An ex girlfriend who bore more than a passing resemblance to young Carole used to have a copy.

    The best thing about it is the cat on the cover. He's called Telemachus, (named after the son of Odysseus) which is very cool.

    Tapestry is basically a woman's album, as is Bridge Over Troubled Water and anything recorded by Neil Diamond.

    I know. 'Woman's album' indeed.

    The correct term is 'Chick music'.

    I still say the cat is the best thing about it.

    I just don't agree with the "Woman Album" tag,

    Good songwriting is in itself something to appreciate and to have such talent as James Taylor doing your backing vocals and guitar riffs just makes it even more appealing. Sure, the lyrics may be from a woman's perspective but a good album is a good album regardless.

    Just a shame the recording was shite

    And yet is was overseen by Joni Mitchell, whose production is always very good. Probably hobbled it on purpose, afraid of the competition.

    Not keen on James Taylor either. American folk has always been a bit dodgy. Not like the British stuff which can at least be bizarre on occasion.

    Rated 36th most important album of all time? Does that help?

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
