I was just reading the notes by Richard for the 'From The Top' set. In it he talks about the songs included.
Magic Lamp
-He mentions that "The Parting Of Our Ways" was one 'of the first things' they recorded there.
RCA Records
-'11 sides were cut in minimal times
Spectrum
-Ed Sulzer got them a deal to work in a studio where they cut and overdubbed 9 songs
-Later, not being able to afford anymore studio time were cutting demo tapes in the Carpenters home.
all of this tells us that they recorded:
-an unknown ? Amount of songs for Magic Lamp
-11 sides for RCA
-9 Tracks with spectrum + Demo tapes.
-any songs recorded by RC, KC at home using their Sony recorders.
overall from those 3 ventures we have 7 songs, which means there are other songs we don't have.
does anybody know their names / heard them?
will they ever be released?
