Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing of this album from the soft pop duo. 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.
TICKET 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 Only after the siblings' mournful cover of The Beatles' "Ticket To Ride" became a surprise hit did the album, quickly withdrawn and reissued under the single's title, follow suit.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&M catalogue. A limited-edition Japanese release features 32-bit digital remastering and an LP-style slipcase.
