JAMES TAYLOR
The Early Years 1969-1971 [no label, 1CD]
Live at various venues. VG+ to Ex FM/ TV stereo-mono.
Back in the ’70s, BBC recorded and broadcast James Taylor Sings James Taylor and, over the years, this programme has been widely circulated among fans. Also, back in the day, circa 2005 or maybe even earlier, the James Taylor Trading Group Vine compiled and shared this disc especially for those looking for an audio version of the show.
Thanks to everyone who worked on the compilation and for sharing it.

Thanks. There’s some slight distortion but overall it sounds good.

so nice and quiet here lately, perhaps all these mor recordings are keeping the hooligans away

Hate Fire and Rain, because the chorus is my life. None of the women who died were named Suzanne, but…three in a row, it’s too much.

Its hard to believe this guy was one of THE biggest junkies of the 1970s

Not too hard to believe GENOWASHINGLINE…he often sounds down / melancholy. Which is a big part of his appeal.

Lovely show. Very special to hear him with Johhny Cash. Also, pre 1970 concerts are very rare. I’m very happy with this, it made my day!
