^^ I differ...That whole look of females in the early seventies was one of my favorite recollections growing up during that period. The fashion, hair, style, etc was fantastic. Beautiful women abounded! Do I hear an AMEN!!?
AMEN! Tastes in fashion may differ, but I'm sure there's one thing we can all agree on... Karen could have worn a potato sack, and we'd still think that she was a total babe!AMEN! But as far as styles go, I much prefer the elegance of the 40s.

He says, "this song predated Karen's dilemma by a couple of years, but heard now it assumes an awful eeriness." (ibid).
He is totally mis-reading what the song means.
berI thought it odd that Ray Coleman wrote--regards the song,
I Can't Make Music--
"it stood out as the only item of introspection on an otherwise cheerful album." (page 131, Carpenters Untold Story).
Surely the song This Masquerade fits the bill of "introspection."
But, also, did Coleman listen to the song " I Can't Make Music " ?

I think a FULL version of Our Day Will Come would have been a big winner for the Carpenters, if the following is any indication:

Maybe he means the isolation in Karen's vocals. All by herself and being introspective? As for the song, it's top shelf for me. I don't like the Waltons-esque ending, but the vocals and basic arrangement are stellar. Karen's voice never sounded better and she's belting it out. I remember my Mom saying back in '73, "I really like the way she's singing on this one".
Until fairly recently I never knew that Kenny Everett was a DJ as well. As a little boy I remember seeing him on TV sometimes. What a character!BBC Radio 1 deejay Kenny Everett played the whole of side 2 without interruption, don't know how he got away with it, but Kenny was well known for not conforming. (Feels weird after all these years referring to side 2 )
That is an amazing find, although not as I remembered as Kenny included some editing, this was such a great plug for the album on BBC Radio1. Thanks for posting, took me back in time!Until fairly recently I never knew that Kenny Everett was a DJ as well. As a little boy I remember seeing him on TV sometimes. What a character!
So happy to find that many of his radioshows survived on tape and are available for streaming
