Roberta Flack - First Take
First Take is the remarkable debut by Roberta Flack, released in 1969, that blends soul, jazz, folk, and pop with uncommon intimacy and emotional depth. Anchored by her refined piano playing and understated vocal delivery, the album transforms songs like “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” and “Compared to What” into deeply personal statements, marked by patience, space, and quiet intensity. Rather than relying on vocal power, Flack draws listeners in through subtle phrasing and emotional control, making First Take a timeless introduction to an artist whose strength lies in nuance and feeling.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR RECORDS
Always handle your vinyl by its edges and label, avoiding fingerprints on the grooves. Before and after each play, gently clean the surface with a carbon-fiber anti-static brush or a dedicated record-cleaning solution to remove dust and debris. Store records upright in their sleeves, away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight to preserve sound quality and prevent warping..
