I suppose this Jukebox vinyl might be rather scarce:

Overall I think it was a really great concept album and released at the height of the 50s and 60s nostalgia craze going on in the music industry. Tons of remakes on the radio. Almost every hit Linda Ronstadt had was a cover.
I really wish the Carpenters had recorded a full length version of “One Fine Day” my favorite cut on the album. I think it would have been a top 5 hit, they were so popular, and did amazing covers in the early to mid 70’s. So much better than the sublime Rita Coolidge version. Obviously “This Masquerade” was perhaps a missed opportunity as well. Such a sexy vocal on Karen’s part. I can’t listen to George Bendson’s version. Makes me cringe.
The quad lp version is really fun to play once in awhile. The mixes are different and the fazing of Karen’s voice on YOM reprise is really cool too. It goes around and around the speakers until it fades out.
