Reviews
Sound quality of this original pressing is beautiful.
Great clarity an separation of instruments.- The matrix number on my copy is like Variant 1, except the A-side ends in apparently T3 (or maybe TS) instead of T4, & the B-side doesn't have the ending 'E'.
- Karen's last studio album was quite excellent although it didn't have quite the number of melodic hit songs as some of their previous albums. The only memorable song is "Touch Me When We're Dancing" all the other singles are really obscure. The dbx disc version is now extremely rare and it sounds absolutely stunning CD-like quality when played through the hardware decoder giving full impact and dynamic range due to the absence of the normal record mastering peak compression or limiting along with inaudible record rumble noise levels even when played at loud levels.
- The arrangements on this is absolutely gorgeous. The recording is sublime.
Some albums came with a Carpenters Iron on for T-shirts, or at least mine did.
