I was reading the info on this site and see that this was released on 8Track.
This was my first Carpenters album on cd.
I love the singles 1974-1978 as it makes a nice solid compilation with most international singles making it to the list. I love this compilation because it includes Jamb. Which was omitted from Yesterday Once More and Singles 69-81. I still am upset I have You (1976 MEXICO + Japan) and This Masquerade (1974 Mexico) was not included. I heard the mentioned singles on the oldies station more then most songs back in 1999. Apparently “This Masquerade” has been a radio staple (Oldies) in Mexico TO THIS DAY. I heard Richard still regrets not issuing this as an American single and limiting it to Mexican radio exclusively.
My aunt had a promo Happy 45 (Same song both sides) as a kid but she said it got hardly any radio play. It’s nice to see a Mexican exclusive appear on here which makes up for the other lost two. Calling occupants is the single that should have brought Carpenters back to #1. Huge hit around the world and it finishes off the album perfectly. Only Yesterday is favorite Carpenters song sung lead vocal by Karen. (Turn Away over all.) The music video to only yesterday is absolutely gorgeous and is more classy than what we see on TV today. Also my favorite music video of all time.
There is nothing wrong with this album and I love it.
Question is.. WHERE can I find this on 8Track? I want this 8Track so badly you have no idea! I was listening to single 69-73 on 8track today for a few hours on endless loop while cleaning.
I Read on this website that it is available on 8-track but I cannot find it anywhere. Is this considered a rarity like Offering or Yesterday Once More UK (CD) ?
Thanks!
