Reviews
Edited 3 years agoI noticed that you were asking about the RE-1 in the runout grooves on the Offering and Ticket To Ride vinyl albums. According to Richard on this site http://www.richardandkarencarpenter.com under the 'Fans Ask' button on the left side, None of the tracks from the Offering / Ticket To Ride albums were remastered until 1973, so that would mean a 'reissue' for that RE-1 etching in the runout groove I imagine. After more thought, the RE-1 does not appear to be related to 'reissue' or 'remaster' and appears on both the original pressings and the reissues. Release 1 (first release)possibly?- Understandably, neither the "Offering" cover, nor the far-better "Close to You" shot, were favored by Rich or Karen. The "Offering" pic was shot from below -- which rarely gets a flattering result -- and this one surely doesn't, with the pic adding a good 15 pounds to each of them, and their discomfort during the shoot shows in their faces so much that they're almost unrecognizable. It's just cringeworthy. "Close to You," the duo's best-selling non-hits album, is nearly as bad: The brother and sister look as if they've just gotten married. They're soaking wet. Karen's stockings are down to her ankles. Not until the reissued "Offering," "Ticket to Ride," did A&M get it right -- and only rarely thereafter. The whole Carpenters-image thing was ludicrous, as Rich was one tall drink of hunkiness from the start, and, by 1975's "Horizon," Karen had evolved into a beauty. Luckily, substance triumphed over image (until things started to unravel with "A Kind of Hush"), and record buyers didn't give a hoot.
- Because the price on this LP it risen so much up , even not signed.
A New Zealand pressing of "Ticket To Ride" exists, double flipback cover, fully laminated. A&M label, "deep-groove" label press like the original 1970 NZ press of Close To You that I submitted. I assume both were issued in 1970 in NZ
