Randy Schmidt in "Little Girl Blue" (page 237) writes of "Beechwood 4-5789". Karen played the Carpenters' recording of it over the phone to Mike Curb. She asked what did he think of it as a single, and he didn't want to tell her it "lacked top 40 potential". It became The Carpenters' lowest charting single #74.
