Karen’s favorite singer: Petula Clark
What are those big hits left out? Only yesterday?, sing, wont last a day without you? Callimg occuppants?, solitaire? Kind of hush? Its going to take sometime? Goofus? I would think given their impact only 3 important singles were left out. Sing, wont last a day without you and Only yesterday... A lot of other tracks are worthy of a second volume but lack the impact of those 3 singles
I'm not bright enough to have figured out how to add the link to access the article.
i loved the album but i guess the only market were the album was a hit was uk.. I think there were big exoectations in the us market the target deal was great and that is done usually with major releases only. So universal must not be really happy with this album. A second one is doubtful at this point
I’m also disappointed with the sales and chart performances. It peaked in the UK briefly and then pretty much dropped week after week. That’s not what I was expecting. Overseas was even worse.
Plenty of the other RPO collaborations feature quite a few album-only tracks and have done phenomenally well. There’s no reason a second Carpenters compilation couldn’t do the same, but I think most of their riches were spent on the first one and it hasn’t performed all that well - at least compared to other RPO compilations.
@Chris May, are you aware of how it has sold and of Richard's feelings about its sales performance?
