 Rating: - wicked!i love the carpenter's ! it's just pure easy listening, calm and classic album ! when u just want to relax in the bath, take 5 mins from a stressed day this is the album you should choose. Rating: - an unbeatable duowith Karen's rich, sweet as honey voice and Richard's talent for arranging this duo were unbeatable in their day and still are. Sadly, All was not as well as it appeared in their songs and with the death of Karen, a true female legend died. all the great songs are here, from the joyous 'top of the world' to the bitter sweet 'I need to be in love' , the spine tingling 'goodbye to love' (makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end) the amusing 'Calling occupants of interplanetary craft' The very romantic 'we've only just begun' and the ever so slightly moody 'Rainy days and Mondays' the brillaintly uplifting 'close to you and the oh so sad 'Superstar'are all included on this wonderful album.

Richard's expert arrangements and Karen's superb voice combined to create something special. They recorded plenty of original songs but some of their biggest hits were covers. Close to you is a Bacharach-David song, originally recorded by Dionne Warwick, but her version was not released as a single. Please Mr Postman was a huge American success for the Marvelettes (and was covered by the Beatles on one of their early albums). Jambalaya is an old Hank Williams song, while Ticket to ride is a Beatles classic. Of the original songs, Top of the world was never originally intended to be a single. ... Read More: |
