I love all of them Chris, but the last one is a nice intimate capture of Karen on stage. The photos of her on the boat are lovely though, about the closest a camera got to her face I think!
The one picture I wish I could have enlarged and made into a framed portrait is this one:
I just think that's the most dramatic shot, and great to see the Albert Hall as they would have done, from the stage.

Hi Phil
I think it was November 1971, Not 100% on that though, I'm sure someone here can confirm that

P.S. Richard has this blown up as a massive poster in his house, I clocked it in the Karen Carpenter Story in one scene of them in the pool room, it was out in the corridor on the wall.

Wow this is an added change, don't think I have ever seen a thread started here by moderators with photos. They are beautiful indeed. If you look closely you can see Karen's little black mole above her eye, you can see it again on the cover of VOTH. How cute.
# 4 is my favorite, it gives you an idea how Karen would have looked on stage with the spotlight on just her. I can only imagine what it would have been like to be in the same place listening to her sing, with the lights down low and Karen singing something like "Rainy Days and Mondays" OMG It would be a dream come true for me. The memories well up inside just thinking of what that experience would have been like. That voice!!!!!

Nice to see you again, Jorge. Looks like your old question about "Now & Then" was answered at another forum.
When we talked about sound check or something at Royal Albert Hall, Peter said it was September of 1971. Richard wrote about "And When He Smiles" that this is a live recording, done on September 25, 1971 at the BBC television Studios., London, for our first UK special, which was originally broadcast on November 6, 1971.
(And Karen and Richard met Olivia in London in the year for the first time.)
Sound check photos(not new ones) and new photos to me(Make Your Own Kind Of Music photo and Director chairs photo were on magazine published in Japan this spring. I sent the article to Baby Polar-bear's mother.
I think Stephen's picture was edited by Catherine when I asked it to be posted. Right above was Richard's photo. Richard has taller poster above his stairway to his music room floor.
Song notes for "And When He Smiles" is of course on "as time goes by". I wonder why album notes for "as times goes by" on-line are always only a half.
Can't we vote for Joe or Veronique?
Just kidding. My favorite is #4.
Has anyone seen Joe's old bass with Karen's signature carved, at museum?

Stephen, I said somewhere that Richard mentioned the photo was taken in November of 1971(NHK BS hi Special, 2004). But I think Richard mixed up the month with one of 1976 tour to Europe.newvillefan said:I think it was November 1971, Not 100% on that though, I'm sure someone here can confirm that
