Format:Audio CD
Great album in its original form, but this is not the original
version. For example, the original, released by Mediarts in
1970 has the best version of "Castles In The Air " which was
faster ( running time 2:50 )and featured great finger-picking
and singing. Don Mclean did not like the version, and the
slower version, complete with awful strings and drums has taken
it's place on many of his " best of " recordings. I believe
the wonderful song " No Reason For Your Dreams " has been
tampered with also. I know you can get the original version
on vinyl, and EMI Records boasts you can find it in their
"legendary artists series ", but I have not seen it.
Bottom line : wonderful album if you can get the actual
original version. Let the buyer beware : I just paid $20
for the 'ORIGINAL RECORDING FROM MASTER COPY 'and it is
not the original album. These record companies need to stop
remastering these gems unless they can stick to the ORIGINAL
format.

Do you like folk?... if you do, you gonna love this record... if you don't, i'm sure you gonna love it anyway (but you may give it a little more time).
Listen to his warm and clear voice, the way he play his guitar, and the way he build the language that he used in his songs, like a poet.
Thank you Don McLean, for this little, but important part of my life. I play guitar myself, and some times when it sounds bad and i lost my feelin for playing, I use this record to feel right again.
Bye it! a piece of harmony, a piece of america, a piece of my life.

This is an amazing album. I'm giving itfive stars even though I think one or two of the songs aren't really all that good. But most of them, especially "General Store" and "Respectable" are ahead of their time. The first seems to me to anticipate the militial movement. There's a bitterness wrapped in melody and poetry that transports me every time I listen to it. Buy this CD.

Less than the sum of its parts
Don McLean's /Tapestry/ is clearly a concept album and in the breadth and detail of the album, you can see how the same man wrote "American Pie. Read more

Has its moments, but is essentially a folk album
Some editions of this album (which is his first album) have had the song "Castles in the air" replaced with the 1981 remix. MY copy has the original 2. Read more
