Billboard Magazine, July14, 1973:
" Although Richard professes annoyance with the ultra -clean image of the Carpenters,
he admits to restricting the act to material that doesn't contradict their public concept
of them. "Nobody could be as squeaky dean as we're supposed to be," he said.
"We're really normal people. But I suppose in comparison to some freaky long -hair rock group,
we are pretty clean -cut,"
" He also has gotten into the habit of recording a cassette tape of each
night's concert from out front after discovering that his stage monitor
speakers did not really give an accurate account of what the audience
was hearing via the hall's speaker system. Richard checks each concert
cassette and uses his findings to make any needed changes in the
show's amplification layout."
