Although New York Tendaberry was nearly as strong a record as its predecessor, Eli and the Thirteenth Confession, it wasn't as accessible. In large part that's because, unlike her first two albums, it didn't have three or four songs that would become instantly recognizable hits in the hands of other artists. But it was also because the mood of the record was considerably darker and the production quite a bit starker. It was hardly a gloomy affair, but the emphasis was on soulful laments and arrangements that often featured, in part or whole, nothing but her voice and piano. Without at all sounding blatantly derived from gospel, it often sounded very much in the spirit of gospel in its fervid passion, though using melodies from a wide pop/blues-soul canvas and addressing concerns far more secular and personal. There were crafty, dramatic punctuations of orchestration, yet these were far more subdued than they had been on the more jubilant Eli and the Thirteenth Confession. "Save the Country" (along with the upbeat section of "Time and Love") is really the only song here that has the immediate uplifting impact of her most famous early tunes, and even that track could have benefited from a less-bare setting. It's a rewarding album, but one that takes some effort to fully appreciate

Laura Nyro’s third album (New York Tendaberry) was released in late September 1969 and has been hailed for decades as her finest and her most enduring and endearing (albeit not her most accessible) work. Ricky Lee Jones, for example, cites this album as her all-time favorite. The influence of this album on the numerous generations of New York (and non-New York) rockers and singers-songwriters, particularly female ones, cannot possibly be overstated. There would never be any Patti Smith without Laura Nyro, or, for that matter, without this particular album.  This is Laura at her most personal and idiosyncratic, baring her soul for the whole world to see, and some of the lyric imagery is close to uncomfortable. If you are wondering where Joni Mitchell got the idea for her “Blue” album two years later, look no further. This is it.

The original pressings of this album – such as this one -  came with a nifty, foldable brochure with the song lyrics and album credits (this has got to be the first on record mention of David Geffen ever – he is credited in the brochure as a “manager and friend”).  The front page of the brochure showed late-summer view of New York City skyline from Laura Nyro’s  NYC apartment

·       CONDITION:

·       THE RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS EXCELLENT. This is one of those albums that are somewhat difficult to grade. It is somewhere between VG++ and NEAR MINT, just a notch below NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions ARE visible, but they are extremely shallow, superficial  and only moderately visually distracting (nothing significant).For the most part, the vinyl looks impeccable without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·                               THE COVER

COVER IS STRONG NEAR MINT,  STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL ►SHRINK WRAP

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-         Minor shelf wear noted on the opening side (nothing significant)

-         Cover has one corner slightly worn / dinged (BARELY VISIBLE)

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
