Harry: in the MFSL version the liner notes from Richard say it is the single version on the CD, and it obviously is not. Maybe the vocals are, but Tony's guitar additions are not there. Do you know why?
one aspect of I WON'T LAST A DAY WITHOUT YOU is Richard's genius of putting the line. "when you're near my love" as a chorus vocal. if you have heard paul Williams version, you will understand, it is very clunky.
It's pretty bad. The producers of MYOKOM must of had a "zero" budget for providing any kind of wardrobe for Karen. Looks like something Judy Garland wore in the "Wizard Of Oz".a comment about the video, I was part of the 70's and NO ONE wore anything like that hideous dress.
One Love,
as performed on Make Your Own Kind Of Music,
had a different piano interlude.
That different piano break gave some punch to the song,
which, sadly, is absent from the LP or Single version,
and every subsequent occurrence.
Listen (piano: 1:57 to 2:16):
That clip of Karen singing "It's Impossible" is about the most beautiful thing I ever heard... That was her 1974 self - and it was magnificent.
Is there a reason why Live In Japan wasn't released worldwide in 1974? Given how popular the Carpenters were at the time, it could potentially have sold millions in North America and Europe.A 1974 LP would have been a sure-fire hit;
yet, someone decided that it was not a priority.
After all, wasn't an album per year a contract stipulation ? (?).
Perhaps the Live In Japan Album satisfied that stipulation.
I heard all three versions of the song today. Never been able to figure out why it doesn't grab me- until today. I thinks the way her vocals are produced, pushed in the background in a strange way. Maybe I'm not explaining it well. Particularly in the chorus.
