Title: James Taylor – James Taylor Year/Genre: 1968, Folk Rock Matrix #: SKAO-3352 Condition: VG+++, practically perfect, tiny bit of cosmetic wear on sleeve. Description:Released in 1968 on Apple Records, James Taylor was the first LP issued by an American artist on the Beatles’ new label. Recorded in London while Taylor was recovering from struggles with addiction, the album carried a darker tone than the warm singer-songwriter style he later became known for. Paul McCartney and George Harrison both contributed to the sessions, linking Taylor to the heart of the late-’60s British rock world. For music lovers, the record represents both an intimate debut from a future major artist and an unusual cultural crossover, where a North Carolina songwriter was introduced through the Beatles’ global platform. Price Suggestions: NM: $30–$35 VG+: $20–$25 VG: $12–$15 G: $6–$8 9/12/25
