Laura Nyro – Christmas And The Beads Of Sweat

- my copy is missing any sort of government sale stamp

- it's a wonderful record :-)

- i agree with the sound quality sentiments of the person below my comment on this pressing: wonderful sound with sibilance occasionally popping up. IMO it's mostly on the first track and then it pops up less frequently from there until the final song to my recollection.

- the last song has a good amount of distortion in places. my old conical stylus made that song unlistenable but my line makes it fairly enjoyable although there is some distortion still. however i don't think that's unique to this pressing has i've read other complaints regarding earlier pressings due to the playing time being over 25 minutes (!!!!) on side B over on the steve hoffman forum

overall i'd rate it about a 7.5/10. i have no desire to try out other versions, but i do definitely prefer this to both CD releases.

Many s write that these recordings urgently need to be remastered. I'm quite happy with the sound. And before I forget: This album is so great! ‚The sins of politics, the politics of sin
The heartlessness that darkens my soul…‘

Please, i want to buy this but i live in the US

Duane Allman on Electric Guitar. Everytime I put on a Laura Nyro album I think she was the perfect music writter and performer. Every song takes you on a journey.

The 3rd of Nyro's classic trilogy masterpieces (after Eli + NYT) filled with some wonderful NL styled songs – complicated, thorny but now more accessible & shot through with her superb sensual upbeat swinging soul underpinnings & a smoother 70's sound (a precursor to Carole King?).
Another altogether brilliant album & magnificent achievement.

The greatest female singer songwriter gets no respect no one knows who she is all the YouTube videos about albums and she is never mentioned once

Does anyone know the best digital version of this album? The Cd version I have (from Original Album Classics) is very poor and harsh. But it does not sound better on either Spotify of Amazon Music (HD). They all seem to be using the same source.

Need help please listing this album. Runout is P AL 30259-1F stamped.
Then etched N.C.W. CAMPBELL.
Cannot find any listing for this issue!

I need help with getting this copy into the discogs thingamajig

Don't buy it they used a generation tape like most of these Speaker Corner reissues I heard Inner Mounting Flame same problem by the time you hear Awakeings the tape sounds like it's falling apart ...
