{"product_id":"gerry-rafferty-city-to-city-2lp-orange","title":"Gerry Rafferty - City to City [2LP Orange]","description":"\u003cp\u003eGerry Rafferty spent years tied up in legal battles before City to City finally set him free, and his 1978 classic returns here remastered on two orange LPs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter Stealers Wheel fell apart, contractual disputes kept Rafferty from releasing music for a long stretch, and much of that frustration found its way into these songs. Recorded at Chipping Norton with co-producer Hugh Murphy, the album became a surprise smash, climbing to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and knocking Saturday Night Fever off the top spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Baker Street\" is the one everybody knows, built around Raphael Ravenscroft's unforgettable saxophone riff and a lyric about restless city loneliness that still hits home. \"Right Down the Line\" is a warm, grateful love song with an easy groove, \"The Ark\" opens the album on a swelling, folk-tinged note, and the title track \"City to City\" captures the weary pull of life on the move.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRafferty's Scottish folk roots run all through the record, softened by polished late-seventies production, glowing keyboards and steel guitar. It's melancholy music, but never heavy, full of melodies that feel like old friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpread across double vinyl, this remaster gives those long, unhurried arrangements room to breathe, and it remains one of the great soft-rock albums of its decade.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67763364561186,"sku":"190296282126","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/Gerry_Rafferty-City_to_City_2LP_Orange.jpg?v=1794324052","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/gerry-rafferty-city-to-city-2lp-orange","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
