Very nice! We need more of these (especially from Richard).

Best one yet, Chris! I almost passed out when I saw the sealed 8-tracks.

You did a great job. You can tell Richard was having a great time with show’s host, too.

It was a fun couple of days filming this piece!

 

[GaryAlan]

Beautiful to watch !
I really enjoyed that one.
"ah...what memories...what memories..."

 

[Portlander]

Well done Chris!

And who wouldn't want a copy of that blow-up of the book cover?

It also happens to be the prop we used in the background of our appearance together (Mike, Richard and myself) on TalkShopLive.

Love it. Would love to see more like it. Richard fascinates me.

 

[Don Malcolm]

That is a TREMENDOUS video--incredible to see Richard's own "library skills" at work, too! Really masterful combination of visual ingredients and information, a total triumph of top-notch editing. Tara Lynn has great pace, a fine of sense of humor--and you're a natural on camera, Chris! (Plus, of course, Karen at arguably her finest with "Superstar" and reminding us just how beautiful she was at age 21-22.)

So glad that the book has created so much interest and has given us more time with Richard!

 

[Mike Blakesley]

Very cool to see the footage of Richard's Carpenters collection... who knew he'd have all those 8-tracks?!

 

[Martin Medrano]

I wish there would be a small documentary that goes over how the new book was made. Or even better an audio book version. I would honestly buy it without hesitation.

I’d love to take a tour of that entire collection!

A book about the book!

 

[Shalom Bresticker]

Very cool to see the footage of Richard's Carpenters collection... who knew he'd have all those 8-tracks?!

And multiple copies!

I want one.

 

[Chris May]

I want one.

You'll have to negotiate that with the City of Downey, as I left it with their library! HA!
