Carolina In My Mind

The other major signing to Apple was James Taylor. His group the Flying Machine had acted as a backing band for Peter Asher when he toured America with Peter and Gordon. When Peter was appointed head of A & R for Apple, James was one of the first people he thought of signing. Paul played drums on the track 'Carolina in My Mind' from James's first album, which was issued as a single. James was a good example of the talent that Apple discovered but were unable to develop.
