Carole King

Cut for cut this compilation is probably as strong as Tapestry, from which it appropriates four excellent tracks. "Believe in Humanity" is no worse than "Tapestry" itself, and it's nice to have the nicest tunes from all the dud albums that followed it in one place--especially "Corazon," "Brother, Brother," and "Been to Canaan." But it's docked a notch for lacking mythic significance. (Grade: B+)
