{"title":"Carpenters","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith their light, airy melodies and meticulously crafted, clean arrangements that appealed to a variety of audiences, the Carpenters stood in direct contrast to the excessive, gaudy pop\/rock of the '70s. Yet, they became one of the most popular artists of the decade, winning four Grammy Awards, and scoring 12 Top Ten hits, and three number one singles, including the classic \"(They Long to Be) Close to You\" off 1970's Close to You. Karen Carpenter's calm, pretty voice was the most distinctive element of their music, settling in perfectly amidst the precise, lush arrangements provided by her brother Richard. Though their popularity began to fade as the '70s progressed, the duo continued to make music together until Karen's tragic death in 1983.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Carpenters formed in the late '60s in Downey, California, after their family moved from their native New Haven, Connecticut. Richard had played piano with a cocktail jazz trio in a handful of local Connecticut nightclubs. Once the family had moved to California, he began to study piano while he supported Karen in a trio that featured Wes Jacobs (tuba\/bass). With Jacobs and Richard forming her backup band, Karen was signed to the local California record label Magic Lamp, which released two unsuccessful singles by the singer. The trio won a Battle of the Bands contest at the Hollywood Bowl in 1966, which led to a record contract with RCA. Signing under the name the Richard Carpenter Trio, the group cut four songs that were never released. Jacobs left the band at the beginning of 1968.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing Jacobs' departure, the siblings formed Spectrum with Richard's college friend John Bettis. Spectrum fell apart by the end of the year, but the Carpenters continued performing as a duo. The pair recorded some demos at the house of Los Angeles session musician Joe Osborn; the tape was directed toward Herb Alpert, the head of A\u0026amp;M Records, who signed the duo to his record label in early 1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffering, the Carpenters' first album, was released in November 1969. Neither Offering nor the accompanying single, a cover of the Beatles' \"Ticket to Ride,\" made a big impression. However, the Carpenters' fortunes changed with their second single, a version of Burt Bacharach and Hal David's \"(They Long to Be) Close to You.\" Taken from the album Close to You, the single became the group's first number one, spending four weeks on the top of the U.S. charts. \"Close to You\" became an international hit, beginning a five-year period where the duo was one of the most popular recording acts in the world. During that period, the Carpenters won two Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist of 1970, and had an impressive string of Top Ten hits, including \"Rainy Days and Mondays,\" \"Superstar,\" \"Hurting Each Other,\" \"Goodbye to Love,\" \"Yesterday Once More,\" and \"Top of the World.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 1975's number four hit \"Only Yesterday,\" the group's popularity began to decline. For the latter half of the '70s, the duo were plagued by personal problems. Richard had become addicted to prescription drugs; in 1978, he entered a recovery clinic, kicking his habit. Karen, meanwhile, became afflicted with anorexia nervosa, a disease she suffered from for the rest of her life. On top of their health problems, the group's singles had stopped reaching the Top Ten and by 1978, they weren't even reaching the Top 40. Consequently, Karen decided to pursue a solo career, recording a solo album in 1979 with Phil Ramone; the record was never completed and she returned to the Carpenters later that year. The reunited duo released their last album of new material, Made in America, in 1981. The album marked a commercial comeback, as \"Touch Me When We're Dancing\" made it to number 16 on the charts. However, Karen's health continued to decline, forcing the duo out of the spotlight. On February 4, 1983, Karen was found unconscious at her parents' home in Downey; she died in the hospital that morning from cardiac arrest, caused by her anorexia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter Karen's death, Richard Carpenter concentrated on production work and assembling various compilations of the Carpenters' recorded work. In 1987, he released a solo album called Time, which featured guest appearances by Dusty Springfield and Dionne Warwick. More posthumous albums followed including 1989's Lovelines, which featured unreleased Carpenters tracks next to curated solo tracks by Karen. As Time Goes By also arrived in Japan in 2001. In 2018, Richard oversaw the production of Carpenters with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Recorded at the famed Abbey Road Studios, the album featured many of the duo's original songs reworked with added orchestration by the London-based Royal Philharmonic. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"the-carpenters-carpenters-with-the-royal-philharmonic-orchestra","title":"| Carpenters with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003e2018 release.

Carpenters is the third studio album by the Carpenters. Released on May 14, 1971, it was their most successful studio album ever, reaching #2 on the Billboard 200 chart and #12 in the UK. The album contained the hit songs \"For All We Know\", \"Rainy Days and Mondays\" and \"Superstar\". It has been said that the strength of these recordings is what caused Richard Carpenter to ask his sister to front the band for their live performances instead of playing behind the drums. Amongst many fans, the album has simply been referred to as \"The Tan Album\", because the original LP cover, complete with overlapping flap, looked like an oversized tan envelope, and is presumably a play on The Beatles' so-called White Album. The Carpenters produced a distinct soft musical style, combining Karen's contralto vocals with Richard's arranging and composition skills. During their 14-year career, the Carpenters recorded ten albums, along with numerous singles and several television specials. Their career together ended in 1983 following Karen's death from heart failure brought on by complications of anorexia.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eThe Carpenters: Richard Carpenter (vocals, arranger, keyboards); Karen Carpenter (vocals, drums). Additional personnel includes: Bob Messenger (reeds, bass); Douglas Strawn, Jim Horn (reeds); Joe Osborn (bass); Hal Blaine (drums). All tracks have been digitally remastered. The Carpenters' radio-friendly soft rock virtually defined the genre in the early 1970s, and this album -- their third full-length -- was the group's ace card. Following on the heels of the wildly successful Close to You, Carpenters features more breezy melodies marked by rich arrangements and beautiful lead vocals, courtesy of siblings Richard Carpenter and Karen Carpenter, respectively. The record is most notable for two of the duo's strongest and best-loved singles. \"Rainy Days and Mondays,\" written by soft pop gods Paul Williams and Roger Nichols, is a bittersweet pop masterpiece fleshed out by Richard's string orchestrations and smoothly produced backing vocals, while Leon Russell and Bonnie Bramlett's \"Superstar,\" from its melancholic verse to its dramatic chorus, is equally hard to resist. (Both songs showcase Karen's sultry alto.) The rest of the album includes Richard's bubble-gum pop originals, another Williams-Nichols tune (\"Let Me Be the One\"), and a medley of Burt Bacharach-Hal David tunes. Even more commercially streamlined than its predecessors, Carpenters is a classic of early-'70s pop.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eTracklist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eA1        Rainy Days And Mondays\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA2        Saturday\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA3        Let Me Be The One\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA4        (A Place To) Hideaway    \u003cbr\u003e\r\nA5        For All We Know\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB1        Superstar\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB2        Druscilla Penny\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB3        One Love\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB4        Bacharach\/David Medley\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB5        Sometimes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003e*Audio and\/or tracklist may vary slightly from the vinyl version.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eLabel: A\u0026amp;M\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRel.

Made in America is the tenth album by Carpenters, and was the final album by the duo to be released during Karen Carpenter's lifetime. Released in June 1981, the album reached #52 in the US and #12 in the UK. In 1985, Richard said \"that was Karen's favorite album and is mine, out of all our projects\". Karen played drums in the studio for the first time since Horizon on the song \"When it's Gone (It's Just Gone)\", albeit in unison with veteran Nashville session drummer Larrie Londin, and she also played percussion on \"Those Good Old Dreams\" in tandem with Paulinho da Costa. The Carpenters produced a distinct soft musical style, combining Karen's contralto vocals with Richard's arranging and composition skills.

It probably is not an oversight that the Carpenters entry in Universal Music Group's discount-priced compilation series 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection, unlike all the others, does not begin its title with the words \"The Best of....\" There have been plenty of Carpenters hits compilations, some of them still in print, and Richard Carpenter, who compiled this album, seems to have wearied of reconfiguring the group's hits one more time. Eight of the 12 tracks here were chart singles, including the number one hits \"Please Mr. Postman\" and \"Top of the World,\" but there are also down-chart items like \"Bless the Beasts and the Children\" and \"I Believe You,\" as well as album-only tracks like a cover of Leon Russell's \"This Masquerade\" and \"Love Is Surrender.\" So this is not the album to buy if what you're looking for is a single-disc Carpenters hits collection. (That would be Singles 1969-1981.) To the extent that it's a thematic compilation, the album seems to have a tone of nostalgia and looking backward, beginning with \"Yesterday Once More\" and also including \"Only Yesterday,\" with the word \"yesterday\" turning up elsewhere as well. Richard Carpenter seems determined to demonstrate that there was more to the Carpenters than just the hits, and certainly some of the non-hit material sounds just as good, if not quite as catchy, as the hits. But it's not clear on what basis the potential consumer would buy this album, since it does not fulfill the 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection premise of providing an inexpensive, short collection of an artist's best-known material.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u2028Tracklist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003e1        Yesterday Once More\u003cbr\u003e\r\n2        I Need To Be In Love\u003cbr\u003e\r\n3        Please Mr. Postman\u003cbr\u003e\r\n4        Bless The Beasts And Children\u003cbr\u003e\r\n5        This Masquerade\u003cbr\u003e\r\n6        I Just Fall In Love Again\u003cbr\u003e\r\n7        I Believe You\u003cbr\u003e\r\n8        Top Of The World\u003cbr\u003e\r\n9        Love Is Surrender\u003cbr\u003e\r\n10        Maybe It's You\u003cbr\u003e\r\n11        Only Yesterday\u003cbr\u003e\r\n12        Goodbye To Love\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003e*Audio and\/or tracklist may vary slightly from the CD version.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eLabel: AM\u003cbr\u003e\r\nCatalog: 493421\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRel.

Lovelines is an album by The Carpenters, released in 1989. That same year, Richard Carpenter decided to release an album of unreleased Carpenters tracks along with selected solo tracks by his sister, Karen (from her then-unreleased solo album). The Carpenters' songs were mainly from their television specials. \"When I Fall in Love\" was originally recorded in 1978 for their TV special, Space Encounters. However, they chose \"Little Girl Blue\" for that special instead, and later used \"When I Fall in Love\" in their Music, Music, Music! TV special in 1980. Other outtakes included \"Kiss Me the Way You Did Last Night\" and \"The Uninvited Guest\" from Made in America, the studio album released in 1981 and the last completed during Karen's lifetime. Lovelines was also the last Carpenters album to be issued in the vinyl LP format. The Carpenters produced a distinct soft musical style, combining Karen's contralto vocals with Richard's arranging and composition skills. During their 14-year career, the Carpenters recorded ten albums, along with numerous singles and several television specials.

Passage is the eighth album by The Carpenters. Released in 1977, it produced the hit singles \"All You Get from Love Is a Love Song\", \"Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft\" and \"Sweet, Sweet Smile\". The Carpenters' version of \"Sweet, Sweet Smile\" (written by Juice Newton) was picked up by country radio and put the duo in the Top Ten of Billboard's Country chart in the spring of 1978. This album was a considerable departure for the siblings and contained experimental material such as the Klaatu cover \"Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft\" single-which reached #32 in the US but was a Top Ten hit in much of the world (and prompted numerous letters to the Carpenters asking when World Contact Day was scheduled). Coincidentally, the album's release predated Steven Spielberg's similarly themed film Close Encounters of the Third Kind by one month.

Ticket to Ride is the first album by The Carpenters. At the time of its initial release in 1969, it was issued under the title Offering with a completely different cover photo. It produced only one minor hit single, a ballad version of the Lennon-McCartney song \"Ticket to Ride\". After the Carpenters' subsequent breakthrough, however, the album was reissued internationally under the name Ticket to Ride. The Carpenters produced a distinct soft musical style, combining Karen's contralto vocals with Richard's arranging and composition skills. During their 14-year career, the Carpenters recorded ten albums, along with numerous singles and several television specials. Their career together ended in 1983 following Karen's death from heart failure brought on by complications of anorexia.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eTICKET TO RIDE was originally released on LP in 1969 under the title OFFERING. The Carpenters: Richard Carpenter (vocals, keyboards); Karen Carpenter (vocals, bass, drums). Additional personnel: Gary Sims (guitar); Joe Osborn, Bob Messinger (bass); Herb Alpert (shaker). Includes liner notes by Herb Alpert. Digitally remastered by Richard Carpenter. As strange as it may seem in light of their decades of commercial success, Karen and Richard Carpenter's first album was a flop when it was originally released in 1969 under the title OFFERING. Only after the siblings' mournful cover of The Beatles' \"Ticket To Ride\" became a surprise hit did the album, quickly withdrawn and reissued under the single's title, follow suit. TICKET TO RIDE is an interesting and arresting debut. The album is bracketed by Richard Carpenter piano instrumentals (\"Invocation\" and \"Benediction\") and featuring covers of the Youngbloods' \"Get Together\" and Buffalo Springfield's excellent \"Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing\" alongside a number of Richard Carpenter-Joe Bettis originals. The CD was remastered by Richard Carpenter in 1998 as part of a general overhaul of the Carpenters' A\u0026amp;M catalogue. A limited-edition Japanese release features 32-bit digital remastering and an LP-style slipcase.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003e\u2028Tracklist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eA1        Invocation\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA2        Your Wonderful Parade\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA3        Someday\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA4        Get Together\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA5        All Of My Life\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA6        Turn Away\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB1        Ticket To Ride\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB2        Don't Be Afraid\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB3        What's The Use\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB4        All I Can Do\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB5        Eve\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB6        Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB7        Benediction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003e*Audio and\/or tracklist may vary slightly from the vinyl version.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eLabel: A\u0026amp;M\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRel.

The Carpenters are getting the royal treatment. Carpenters With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Why mess with songs that are largely considered to be perfect just as they are? This, especially in light of Karen Carpenter's tragic death in 1983. Thankfully, all of these worries are put to rest on 2018's lovingly constructed Carpenters with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Produced and recorded by Richard Carpenter at London's famed Abbey Road Studios, the album features many of the pop duo's biggest hits reworked with added arrangements by the illustrious British orchestral institution. As one would hope, Carpenter oversaw all of the album's production process from the arrangements to the recording, and yes, even to some very subtle and well-done pro-tools work to address minor inconsistencies in the original tracks that always irked him. Thankfully, none of this work mars any of the magic of original tracks, or gets in the way of his sister's crystal clear vocals, or their trademark multi-tracked harmonies. Part of the beauty of this project is that the Carpenters were always an orchestral-minded band, and songs like \"Yesterday Once More,\" \"Rainy Days and Mondays,\" and \"I Need to Be in Love,\" already featured lush arrangements. Here, as on \"Hurting Each Other\" and \"We've Only Just Begun,\" Richard expands the arrangements, adding extended orchestral introductions that reframe the original song with a welcome pomp and wistful gravitas. Of course, none of this would matter if weren't for Karen's voice, which remains the grounding focus of the Carpenters' sound. To some degree, her vocals have a cleaner, more immediate sound here, which works nicely with the added orchestral sheen. The Royal Philharmonic versions simply offer a way for Richard to present these songs in a fresh way that honors his sister, without losing any of the AM pop studio aesthetic that made them so compelling the first time around.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003e\u2028Tracklist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eA1        Overture\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA2        Yesterday Once More\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA3        Hurting Each Other\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA4        I Need To Be In Love\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA5        For All We Know\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB1        Touch Me When We’re Dancing\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB2        I Believe You\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB3        I Just Fall In Love With You\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB4        Merry Christmas, Darling\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB5        Baby, It’s You\u003cbr\u003e\r\nC1        (They Long To Be) Close To You\u003cbr\u003e\r\nC2        Superstar\u003cbr\u003e\r\nC3        Rainy Days And Mondays\u003cbr\u003e\r\nC4        This Masquerade\u003cbr\u003e\r\nD1        Ticket To Ride\u003cbr\u003e\r\nD2        Goodbye To Love\u003cbr\u003e\r\nD3        Top Of The World\u003cbr\u003e\r\nD4        We’ve Only Just Begun\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003e*Audio and\/or tracklist may vary slightly from the vinyl version.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eLabel: A\u0026amp;M\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRel.
