It will ship on or around 12\/11\/26\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in 1970, 'Christmas \u0026amp; The Beads Of Sweat' is the fourth studio album from Laura Nyro \u0026amp; one of the defining records of her remarkable early career. Blending soul, R\u0026amp;B, jazz, gospel \u0026amp; singer-songwriter influences, it captures Nyro at the height of her powers as a songwriter, pianist \u0026amp; vocalist. The album's two sides have distinct musical identities. The first five tracks feature the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, bringing a deep Southern soul feel to songs including \"Brown Earth\", \"Been On A Train\" \u0026amp; Nyro's soulful interpretation of Gerry Goffin \u0026amp; Carole King's \"Up On The Roof\". The second side moves into more expansive \u0026amp; spiritual territory, with Alice Coltrane on harp \u0026amp; an all-star cast that includes Duane Allman, Cornell Dupree, Chuck Rainey \u0026amp; Ralph MacDonald. Produced by Arif Mardin \u0026amp; Felix Cavaliere, 'Christmas \u0026amp; The Beads Of Sweat' followed the acclaimed 'Eli \u0026amp; The Thirteenth Confession' \u0026amp; 'New York Tendaberry', completing a remarkable run of albums that established Nyro as one of the most distinctive \u0026amp; adventurous American songwriters of her generation. From the driving \"Brown Earth\" \u0026amp; \"Beads Of Sweat\" to the expansive \"Map To The Treasure\" \u0026amp; the deeply personal \"Christmas In My Soul\", this is a rich \u0026amp; emotionally charged album that remains a cornerstone of Laura Nyro's catalogue. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jackpot Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67559017185498,"sku":null,"price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/5705\/3402\/files\/4550442-3739820.jpg?v=1792159174","url":"https:\/\/jackpotrecords.com\/products\/laura-nyro-christmas-the-beads-of-sweat-clear-vinyl-uk-import-pre-order-out-12-11-26","provider":"Jackpot Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
