...I was there also Harry.Today, October 8th, marks the 20th anniversary of the release of KAREN CARPENTER (CD 0588). I remember purchasing it at Sam Goody in Ardmore, PA, and listening to the new tracks on the way to work. I came in late that day, just so I could pick the disc up when the store opened at 10 AM.
...I was there also Harry.
I was quite disappointed when they said ' it's rather over orchestrated '!! lol. Perhaps they were used to a more traditional Carpenters sound.
I don't even get that comment. There's nowhere near as much orchestration on it compared to normal Carpenters albums
For all the expressed angst which has been said for the Carpenters' album Covers,
(especially Close To You and inner illustration of the duo Now & Then):
I ask:
Who ultimately approved this Cover ?
Even though I'd already heard the six solo tracks released on Lovelines and From the Top, it was still quite a surprise to hear the variety of the previously unreleased tracks, like the dryness of 'All Because of You' and the playfulness of 'Guess I Just Lost My Head'. The biggest surprise though was the inclusion of 'Make Believe It's Your First Time', as I'd never heard before anything about this having been anything other than a 'Carpenters' song.
