Killer song! Much better than her material from the 70's although that made her a lot more money and a household name, lol. I just really love her early work like this single that went nowhere on the charts.
@Byrdeyy If i hear one more person say . Oh they dont write them like that anymore then people are Just Blinkered for whats out there and only can Live in the past
@skawashers oh, i must disagree..:)... I can compare because I listen very much to every kind of new stuff and there's of course lots of good new music...which often is blends of brilliant works of the past, still..:)... but with Carole I meant especially the kind of arrangement and the way of recording, like you said: weird echo, drone... This is a magic 'old time' classic - one likes it or not.... Thank you anyway for uploading this... so appreciated.
@Byrdeyy Its only that song of Carole Kings that has ever appealed to me . I found the Tune Originally on a Double Vinyl Compilation LP. Its just a shock that its not more widely Known . I think the Echo and Drone are reasons why i enjoy it. Anything that does sound a Little off Centre i seem to enjoy
Carole's later hit "It's Too Late" clearly seems to have stemmed from this similarly-themed record. It pulls no punches, bleak but totally honest. I've heard this was her last cut for Dimension Records, then she split for LA.
@dpohunter It was only this track i like of hers. As it has that 60s Girl Group sound to it . with alot of weird Echo And also It doesnt sound to out of place if Velvet Underground did it. As the start has a similar feel to " All tomorrows parties"
Has a Bit of a drone sounding and feeling to it very V.U
@skawashers Just gave myself a crash course on VU and Nico. "All Tomorrows Parties" has a similar feel to RTN, very atmospheric. King's early songs were uncharacteristically acoustic for their time (as on her "Cryin' In The Rain" demo) and that's evident here althought it's far more muscular. RTN was also a fitting metaphor for Carole's feelings about Aldon/Dimension's prospects. The Brill Building was churning out pre-teen bubblegum for Colgems, and that future didn't hold much promise.
It's immaculate, however being an incredibly bitter song. Here's why, found this on the internet: "...In the mid-1960s she and [Gerry] Goffin, along with columnist Al Aronowitz founded their own record label, Tomorrow Records but the project ended when their marriage dissolved. This sad turn of events was chronicled on King's 1967 single, 'The Road To Nowhere'." Still, the composing credits refer to Goffin/King!
Thank you..very nice....
