UK TV Special recorded at London's "Talk Of The Town " (now London Hippodrome ).

Recorded by BBC on the record breaking 1974 UK Tour from Carpenters and a big ratings success as shown , this helped "Singles 1969-1973" to topping the charts for months ! :D

This is a great TV Special with Karen on drums , Richard on various keyboards and the Group with fine vocals and energy..... :)

Pete Henderson ( USA Comedian) opened with his partner Carpenters Concerts and assisted on the Oldies Medley with some lead vocals !! Give me RC or the Group anytime...... :oops:

This should be released by BBC Enterprises as Video / DVD release 2003 / 2004 ....along with other BBC Specials and Docs..... :D

I was fortunate to view this Special along with part of 1971 BBC Special and recent BBC Doc on a FULL SCREEN at London's NFT Film Theatre in Summer 1997 with many other Carpenters Fans ....Wonderful to see and be there :D

.....reminds me must write to NFT and BBC to see if 2003 Anniversary screenings of the Specials plus extra footage could be set up ....that would be exellent ....... :D :D

Peter ....BBC Releases Campaign gains steam......
