This week's poll topic will be our last for a little while, as Harry and I have been working on a new and refreshing series called "The Official Review".
Those threads will focus on each album and all of their intricate details. It is similar to the "album of the week" concept, however the threads will not rotate weekly. We will keep them up for several weeks at a time. The idea is to make the initial post one that outlines the album in its entirety from a technical standpoint, however all feedback pertaining to that particular album and any insightful information that anyone here wishes to contribute is welcome. We hope that all will participate.
On a current note, this week's thread is entitled "The Instrumental Cuts". I went ahead and included the "Richard Carpenter Trio" recordings featured on "FROM THE TOP"/"THE ESSENTIAL COLLECTION", as well as the instrumentals recorded during the "CARPENTERS" era. I also felt that "Another Song" was worthy to be considered for obvious reasons. NOTE: I did not include the Peter Knight instrumentals as the idea is to feature the talents of Richard and Karen.
Please vote for your favorite song and tell us why you picked it. -Chris
