The Warner Bros. Albums: 1970-1976 (6LP)

Between 1970 and 1976, James Taylor released six albums with Warner Bros. Records that became the foundation for his unparalleled career that includes five GrammyÂ® Awards, induction into the Songwriters and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame, and more than 100 million records sold worldwide.Â

Each album in the set has been remastered, a process overseen by Peter Asher, who signed Taylor to the Beatlesâ€™ Apple Records label in 1968, worked as his manager for 25 years, and originally produced several of these albums. Â

In the collectionâ€™s liner notes Asher writes: â€œRevisiting these albums several decades later has been revelatory, nostalgic, and exciting. I have heard bits and pieces frequently over the years, of course, but listening with concentration and in detail to each of the original tapes without interruption has been a thrilling luxury.â€Â
