James Taylor..................James Taylor

   Way back in 1968 a young man called James Taylor sent a demo tape of songs to Apple in the UK.
   
   The team at Apple liked what they heard and invited James into their studios to records his first album.....................
   
   In the late 60's things had their own unique style and projection and from this came a very cute first album.....................
   
   Clearly James talent was huge and would shine through any format ..................The Beatles were awesome producers with a track record..............
   
   The result was a charming album of folk music linked together with baroque inter track phrases to set the mood for each track..........................
   
   Although Taylor would go on to frames some of these tracks again on later albums ..........somehow, this album captures a unique moment in time ...........
   
   To quote Paul McCartney on the two Virgin's sleeve" When two saints meet , it is a humbling experience " [/INDENT]
