Had to run & couldn't finish this post before...the 3 songs on side 1 I like are ONLY YESTERDAY, DESPERADO & I CAN DREAM..., and on side 2 SOLITAIRE...DESPERADO AND SOLITAIRE salvage this album because they are both among Karen's finest vocal performances, showing that she could sing with power in addition to her usual senuous beauty...Side 1 - really like 3 songs here - like only 1 a lot on side 2 - Karen's vocal during the first 60 seconds (the opening 2 verses) of "Only Yesterday" is truly compelling - i play this in a loop sometimes ...this is right up there with her best - "
This would put Desperado on two sides, but Two Sides is on VOICE OF THE HEART. Confused yet - me too!Had to run & couldn't finish this post before...the 3 songs on side 1 I like are ONLY YESTERDAY, DESPERADO & I CAN DREAM..., and on side 2 SOLITAIRE...DESPERADO AND SOLITAIRE salvage this album because they are both among Karen's finest vocal performances, showing that she could sing with power in addition to her usual senuous beauty...

You mean you don't have the album reissue with Desperado on both sides? It's "back" by popular demand.This would put Desperado on two sides, but Two Sides is on VOICE OF THE HEART. Confused yet - me too!
Of course, multiple times. But personally, I'm not too sure how I feel about Joe Mondragon, Alvin Stoller, Bob Bain, Pete Jolly, and Frank Flynn on instruments and Sue Allen, Allan Davies, Gene Merlino, and Jerry Whitman on background vocals. For all intents and purposes, to me, "I Can Dream, Can't I" is only a Carpenters song in that the lead is sung by Karen and it appeared on a Carpenters album.^^Cuyler, have you listened to the original LP on Vinyl ?
That is, not cd or streaming.
I think the true impact of
I Can Dream Can't I
is best experienced when listening to Vinyl.
Could you add a source to your citation? I have no doubts that Richard said this quote, but it's always best practice to cite sources for quotations.^^
Richard Carpenter:
"I am particularly fond of I Can Dream Can’t I which features a beautiful arrangement by veteran Billy May, done in authentic ‘40s style."
I think that’s from the Japanese Treasures CD. I don’t have it near me right now to check.Could you add a source to your citation? I have no doubts that Richard said this quote, but it's always best practice to cite sources for quotations.
I'm listening to the quad mix now. I like the little bits on the piano--those parts are hair-raising, for sure. The guitar in the right channel is a little clunky, since it just strums once per beat.
