ジョリーン

The needle dropped and that first piano note of "Jolene" filled the room—the pressing is clean and quiet, letting Dolly's voice cut through perfectly. The gatefold sleeve feels sturdy too, a nice touch for a record this old.

I finally picked up this vinyl after hearing "Jolene" on the radio for years, and the pressing quality really shines—the acoustic guitar on side two sounds so crisp and warm.

The title track still gives me chills every time the needle drops—that vocal delivery is just unreal on vinyl. The 1974 original mix comes through so warm and clear, you can hear every breath she takes.
