When i talk of single versions I mean the one issued on the US 45 rpm single (the hit version). I know through back discussions on this board, the original hit version (45 rpm single) of Calling Occupants has never been issued on LP or CD. Are there others?
Has anyone compiled a source list for the original hit versions of the Carpenters songs?
I was looking through the archives and searching and find tidbits like this where the song "Can't Smile Without You" was being discussed and it mentioned the lyric was different between the album version and the hit version which sang, ".I can't laugh and I can't sleep I don't even talk to people I meet... "
So that makes it pretty easy to tell the difference. I have a few Carpenters singles (on disk) but after the discussions I am wondering if I need to buy old singles off ebay?
It's a shame there isn't even a partial Carpenters discography here since there are so many other good ones.
