"This Masquerade" is easily edited down to a 3:00 track, complete with the instrumental fade-out so programmers could shorten it even further.
But I don't think it would have made a good single track.

Thanks james
Glad you enjoy posts on chart facts.

If I could double like this, I would.I was thrilled to hear the 2018 RPO Postman....
and, I can't help but reiterating how much I have loved this song through the years.
From day one--I think I first heard it one day in January 1975 (12 yrs old)--
this song has struck a chord with me. Little wonder it topped the charts.
A great vocal, Karen's drums, a creative arrangement, those background vocals.
It is perfect Carpenters' ear-candy.
I still love it.
My favorite part on the Postman RPO is the added strings 1:20-1:35 love that part.
