Yuko's website was recently updated in regards to the Carpenters ORIGINAL MASTER KARAOKE album. This, you'll recall, was the effort that Richard put out in Japan in the early 90s when the whole Karaoke thing was taking off. There were lots of unnofficial Carpenters releases, so Richard decided to make an official one. He used the original backing tracks and filtered out Karen's lead to produce this album.
Yuko mentions that she's provided this Japanese-only release to countless fans worldwide over the years (she got one for me!), but now finds that it's no longer available -- out of print.
So, if you don't have it, and you're a Carpenters fan, and you happen to see one in a store carrying imports -- grab it. It may never come around again.
