Recorded over 10 hours in 1969 during the turmoil of the late 60s in the wake of the assassination of Martin Luther King, and before the general realization of the cultural shift that would become embodied in Woodstock, First Take is the work of a woman who was known as a child prodigy and would later earn the title of genius. The album opens with \"Compared To What,\" a politically charged track that pre-dated Marvin Gaye's \"What's Going On\" (an incredible cover of which was released digitally by Flack in 2021), an emotional cover of \"Angelitos Negros,\" a definitive interpretation of Leonard Cohen's \"Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye\" and the generation-defining interpretation of \"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,\" First Take is a tour-de-force record that encapsulates the emotional rollercoaster of living in what a Confucian Curse might identify as \"interesting times.\" Songs from this album have been sampled by DJ Premier, Lord Finesse, Fugees, Evidence and many others.?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Compared To What\u003cbr\u003eA2 Angelitos Negros\u003cbr\u003eA3 Our Ages Or Our Hearts\u003cbr\u003eA4 I Told Jesus\u003cbr\u003eB1 Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye\u003cbr\u003eB2 The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face\u003cbr\u003eB3 Tryin' Times\u003cbr\u003eB4 Ballad Of The Sad Young Men\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roberta Flack","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53853245768023,"sku":"RCV18230-LP","price":7.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0983\/1104\/5463\/files\/robertaflack.png?v=1782184980","url":"https:\/\/www.discotecavinyl.com\/products\/first-take-clear-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
