Hello Folks! i send a letter to Richard about 4 or 3 months ago from germany, and i think that i send it to the wrong address. The address that i send the letter to is this: Carpenter Family Foundation 16255 Ventura Blvd., Suite 1250 Encino, CA 91436-2315 If this isn't the right one, could...

From an idea supplied by @Rick-An Ordinary Fool

So, it's a busy season for everyone beginning this Thanksgiving week. I won't be on the boards much. But I wanted everyone to know that my long researched and written Fresh Look at Christmas Portrait will be published on my blog a week from tomorrow, December 1. As with all the previous album...

We often discuss on these boards the album we love and the singles that were and could have been. Debate continues about which albums are weak or strong. We discuss the career trajectory and what we would have done had we managed the career of Karen and Richard. With all this in mind, aside from...

I got to thinking I don’t recall ever stumbling across an expose of Carpenters hits/tracks featuring only Karen on drums. For kicks, I created a playlist for myself of only the tracks when Karen was the drummer. Earlier this year there was a fantastic thread where @Chris May does a lot of heavy...

I always enjoy listening to music on my record player or my car radio. I usually listen at a high volume, which means I have to turn the volume down a few times to avoid embarrassing myself. Here are some examples: 1 - The children's choir in “Sing”: This is not a song I listen to often...

Thought i make a thread for Carpenters Fan Collections, i will post my collection after i get the 'Passage' Album. Feel free to share your Carpenters collection, i'm excited to see them!! :laugh:

I typed in “the Carpenters” this morning, and this album appeared 1st in line. I’ve never seen it on iTunes before, and you won’t if you just type in “Carpenters”. It has the Horizon album cover, but the only single it contains is Close To You. It says remastered. The new or remastered versions...

Has anyone ever heard of this special? Here is a write up from EIL website, it appears they once sold it, a 2 LP Set of this Thanksgiving Special. They included the original cue sheet, interesting to see the songs that were part of this special including Karen's solo album. I captured the pic...

Posted by Billy Rees, a 1970 interview with Dick Biondi. A rare example of an interview where Karen and Richard discuss political and religious views.

Why does this exist? What's the reason/history behind this different colored Album cover.

I found this interesting up loader from the archive.org website. This person worked at TBS (cable channel) and managed to save the original master tapes from this special that aired on TBS called Night Tracks, basically a collection of video from artists. We have seen it before the original...

I found this Book at this website called 'ApeBooks' (unknown to me) The Book is called 'Carpenters Anthology - Songbook With Piano Sheet Music, Lyrics and Chords' to be exactly. (Link to the Book: Carpenters Anthology - Songbook With Piano Sheet Music, Lyrics and Chords by The Carpenters...

My 27 year old son gave me a gift card for my birthday. 😀😂

Hello friends. Well, the next two are complete . They are Christmas Portrait for December 1 and Karen's solo album for February 4 (hoping to gain some new fans for the duo by publishing this day.) I think you'll enjoy them! I decided to insert that one before Made in America because these...

I love The Guilded Palace of Sin, the Burritos debut album. They were signed to A&M and would've been recording their second album, Burrito Deluxe, while the duo were tracking the Close to You album. The Burrito mix of country/soul/rock seems like something Richard would have dug. Does anyone...

I got the decade book all scanned and available for viewing at the link above. Does anyone know where the picture on the front and back cover are taken? Karen looks surprised/caught off guard on the back cover photo.

Every now and then I like to look up the names of some of the talented musicians who worked with Richard and Karen in the studio over the years, that I come across from reading the album credits. A drummer whose sound I always admired was Larry Londin's. He played on some Made In America tracks...

I have three: 1. The strings during the verse on “Top Of The World” - right after the line “everything I want the world to be” 2. The entire bridge of “I Won’t Last a Day Without You” 3. The “ooh, baby” harmonies in “Superstar” - think Richard said the same thing in The Musical Legacy.

Hi all, Some of you may have already heard it before, but I was thrilled to find this early and very interesting interview with Karen & Richard. They're both quite outspoken here (Richard in particular, which I enjoyed listening to). Carpenters were performing at the Mill Run Playhouse in...

I never seen these videos before, looks like the author uploaded this back in Dec 2021. It really gives those who don't live anywhere near CA and those who have never visited a nice look around as it relates to Carpenters. The quality is very good. The 3rd one you will have to go to you tube...

Just got a very cool press kit and I believe it may have belonged to Agnes and Harold. I purchased it from someone who said they got it from a friend of the Carpenter’s family. How cool is that?
