I understand that there are mixed emotions about Richards recording projects without Karen and I totally understand. No one can take the place of Karen. She sang with a voice that touched the soul and will never be duplicated. I do feel that what has come to be recognized as Carpenter music or music produced by Richard with other artists be consider part your collection of the Carpenters or Carpenter music. I just wanted to let all of you know that the Akiko album is available through amazon used for 8.99$ but selling for 100$ through gemm. Also Scotts album is still available through gemm for 15$ but selling under collector status for 65$ at Amazon. So it looks like these albums are becoming harder to come by and more valuable as time goes by. I just wanted to let those of you who are new to the Carpenters scene and building your collection, the status of Richards other projects. JIM

Although I'm not interested in the Akiko album, I do have Richard's "Time" Album and also his cd "Carpenters Perform Carpenter" and truly love his arrangements on all Carpenters albums. He is an extraordinary talented man and I have never and will never lose interest in him. Although Karen was my favorite, there would have been NO Carpenters obviously without Richard and his superb work and my life would have been a lot different without their music in it I'm sure.
I also have the Scott Grimes cd and I think it's great!
Thanks for the info Jim.
