She was born to belong to the lines of a song...
Do ALL of the tracks on "Lovelines" have reverb to one extent or another - even "Where Do I Go From Here?" and "You're the One"? I've always contended that these were two of her very best vocal efforts, and thought or assumed that they were "pure Karen" i.e., her singing without any technical and/or layered vocal effects applied at all - was I wrong to assume this? Was this just wishful thinking on my part?That's what's weird. The other tracks on the album don't drown in reverb the way "Uninvited Guest" does. It's just too much and it bears the stamp of a lot of his remixes. I know he was talked into adding copious amounts of reverb but it was so the wrong move. Thankfully, he dried things out on Phil.

A larger, more obvious and more general question, that is always there but seldom asked, is why did Richard feel that with a natural voice as amazingly appealing as her's did Karen need any reverb (or other effects) at any time on any recording?
