Classic Songs

Nice clean vinyl with a good cover showing minor shelf wear.

Classic Songs is the second compilation album by James Taylor. Only available in Europe it was, for a long time, the only compilation album to feature original versions of Taylor's classics. It spanned from his original work to his That's Why I'm Here album from 1985.^[2]
