Linda Ronstadt - Living In The USA - Japanese Vintage Vinyl
Living In The USA is Linda Ronstadt's 1978 album, produced by Peter Asher and famous for the cover shot of Ronstadt on roller skates. It finds her at the peak of her powers, turning songs from rock and roll, soul and new wave songwriters into her own.
Chuck Berry's "Back In The U.S.A." opened the album and reached number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her version of Smokey Robinson's "Ooh Baby Baby", with alto sax from David Sanborn, went to number seven. She also takes on Elvis Costello's "Alison", Warren Zevon's "Mohammed's Radio", Little Feat's "All That You Dream" and closes with a tender reading of "Love Me Tender".
This is the Japanese edition on Asylum, catalogue P-10521Y, made by Warner-Pioneer. Japanese Asylum pressings of the period are valued for their clean, quiet surfaces, which suit that big, clear voice perfectly.
A classic of late seventies California rock for any Ronstadt collection.

If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.

Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
