Yes, there are outakes! The one that comes to mind is a song called "The Reply." I remember seeing it listed on the promo material then was confused as to why it wasn't on the CD. I know it exists. I've never heard it. There are probably more, but who knows.
"The Reply" turned up on Akiko's album -- as sung by Akiko, not Richard. I would certainly imagine that Richard has done at least a demo version of all the songs he's written.
Songs I can think of right now, written by Richard Carpenter but sung by other artists:
"What Am I Gonna Say" (Scott Grimes)
"How Could I Ask for More" (Akiko)
"The Reply" (Akiko)
"All Those Years Ago" (Veronique/Petula Clark)
"December Morn" (Seiko Matsuda)
"Christmas Turned Blue" (Seiko Matsuda)
"When I Dream" (Sixth Wave/Zaitsu)
and of course the songs sung by other artists on TIME:
"Something In Your Eyes"
"In Love Alone"
"That's What I Believe"
That looks like a whole album right there! And there's got to be more; surely he's written more songs that just haven't been recorded yet...
This is an interesting topic, I never though about there being possible outakes from Time, sure would be cool to hear these left over's. You know how it goes with Carpenters left-overs. There usually the best stuff.
