[QUOTE=AJSki2fly;1160603]Having a chilled out morning, probably my favourite Carpenters album, I picked up this mint copy on Monday for a £1, so it will replace the NM one, which I will pass on to a friend.
I now a lot of people run the Carpenters down, but they were hugely successful, and I would say nearly all their albums are impeccably engineer and produced. What is quite fascinating is I believe they hardly wrote any of their own material, but took classic songs of other artists and writers and turned them into the Carpenters sound, in fact so much so that some people are convinced that the Carpenters versions are the originals. Richard Carpenter was definitely a top arranger to be able to consistently do so.

Tis indeed a nice album, I bought a car boot sale copy for a quid, unfortunately the vinyl is rough as a badger's arse, and borderline unplayable
The Carpenters are a guilty secret of mine which I don't feel the least bit guilty about. And Karen's voice - if she'd sung the Yellow Pages I'd still listen to it
