Title: Very enjoyable
Review: I remember being annoyed when this LP came out that the liner notes did not specifically state when each song was recorded, even if it was just a vocal track (there are copyright dates specified but not recording dates). Over the years a few of the songs have appeared elsewhere with liner notes giving the dates. I remember that my first impression of this album was that it was rather somber, with none of the songs really standing out. Of course, through the years of repeated listening I've come to respect and enjoy it more. I was extremely surprised when Karen's solo album came out in 1996 that she had recorded "Make Believe It's Your First Time" because I hadn't read anything about it. I wonder if this is the same vocal track taken from Karen's album (without credit at the time) or was it rerecorded specifically for a new Carpenters album (I need to listen more closely to both). Overall it's a very enjoyable album.
Is the review positive or negative?
