Carly Simon is truly one of the greatest exponents of the singer/songwriter boom that rocked the '70s music scene when she debuted her first hit single "That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be" in 1970.

Carly's stunning artistry and her smash hits continue to be some of the most played on radio stations worldwide, as witnessed in her classic 1974 platinum chart topper Hotcakes. The 1974 smash LP features several of her biggest hit singles like "Mockingbird", which features James Taylor, as well as one of the finest songs of that year "Haven't Got Time For The Pain". Masterworks such as "Misfit", "Forever My Love and "Just Not True" surely make Hotcakes one of the most revered albums in Carly Simon's stellar career.

The original Elektra Records classic is now mastered impeccably by Joe Reagoso (Carly Simon, James Taylor, Hall & Oates) and for a very limited time, this first time audiophile release will be presented in its original gatefold cover, plus Friday Music is including the rare lyrics sleeve which hasn't been seen in years in the LP format.
