COMMENTS :
The duo's first album, cut in 1969, amid the breakdown of America's social contract, the coming apart of the Beatles, the final flowering (and wilting) of the youth rebellion of the prior four years. And in the middle of all of that, Karen and Richard Carpenter issued a finely crafted record that sometimes sounded like Spanky & Our Gang ("Your Wonderful Parade") and at other times like art-song â¿ among the latter pieces, "Someday" is overproduced and overdramatic but also very beautiful, and a superb showcase for Karen Carpenter. "All I Can Do" is the most solid reminder of their origins as part of a light jazz trio called Spectrum, a pleasing vocal workout that might have been well covered by the Manhattan Transfer. Their version of "Get Together" is about as convincing as a version by the Cowsills would have been, but it's balanced by Richard Carpenter's slow ballad arrangement of "Ticket to Ride," an unexpected and beguiling (if too upbeat) cover of Neil Young's "Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing," and a couple of superb originals, "Eve" and "All of My Life."
