20 years on - and they are still my favourites of all time.......2003-02-08
Anyway, the album! It has just been released in the UK. It is a lovely collection of material, but I am always excited by new material from them, so hearing "Nowhere Man" (a gem), "Dancing In The Streets" (pity it isn't longer), "And When He Smiles", "The Rainbow Connection" and "You're Just In Love" (all beautiful) took my breath away. It just shows you what a wonderful arranger Richard was and what a fantastic singer Karen was.
Apart from the "Carpenters/Como Medley", where I thought Perry Como's singing was weak - perhaps his voice was not suited to the Carpenters songs (although Karen and Rcichard sang well) - the other material is excellent, with wonderful arrangements, orchestration and musicianship. It shows that the legacy of Karen Carpenters singing lives on. Richard has, thankfully, carryied on with his "bittersweet" labour of love of producing more compilations and I hope he finds more material to release.
More please, Richard.

Nice addition to the back catalog.......2002-06-12
Unlike the other postumus albums produced by Richard, this one is sequenced chronologically, which leads me to believe Richard is moving on with the next phase of his career. The arrangements of the unfinished songs show the great work that went in the construction of this album, however the arrangements suggest the orchestral work was done in one day. There is an unusual samenesss in the arrangements complete with harmonica, the inclusion of that instrument reminds me of Richard's 1997 solo instrumental album.
There are repeats of songs, those repeats however are here in medley form recorded for television appearances, where the bulk of the material presented is from. "Without A Song" is not in it's original version, it's not the short one released on "Interpretations," it's a version recorded for the Carpenters private collection, Karen and Richard doing all the parts.
The most interesting and stunningly beautiful songs are the re-built Nowhere Man, Leave Yesterday Behind, California Dreamin', and The Rainbow Connection. Nowhere Man is incredible. Richard took a mono lead vocal, ran it through a 48 track recorder, and built a new arrangement around it so carefully not one word is lost from the lead. Karen's reading on this and the only surviving stereo take from Magic Lamp studio "California Dreamin' is for lack of a better term, breathtaking.
The two outtakes here recorded as work leads "Leave Yesterday behind" and "Rainbow Connection" could have been hits, "Leave Yesterday Behind is reminisent of "For All We Know" and "Rainbow Connection" has such a tender reading.
On all of the unfinished studio recordings exist the arrangements that have the aforementioned sameness. I believe the songs were arranged this way to give this collection a cohesiveness, to better segue the television produced soundtracks and instrumentals (there are a few here, Richard wouldn't be Richard without one.)
After all these years of not having such a glorious voice grace us with new songs, this collection reminds us of what we lost and how wonderful Richard is willing to share these unheard masterpieces.
