 With the release of "Singles 1969-1981" there's the possiblity that others may be released on SACD. Which Carpenters albums do you think would be great for SACD release? I have a few ideas but I'm running late so I will have to come back with my choices.

Any albums would make fine SACD releases and I hear Richard will be reissueing the entire back catalogue on SACD. I have no doubt sooner or later he will but some of the more interesting choices for SACD release from my stand point are.
Offering/Ticket To Ride I loved Karens drumming on this record and to hear it on a separate track would be great.
A Song For You Such a great record a SACD must release
Horizon same as ASFY but the additional elements on this record would make this album more alive if thats possible.
Passage The experimental nature of this release make it a natural for the multi channel age like Horizon the new elements on this release are so well suited and I feel better heard in a multi channel format.
These would be my most wanted SACD releases from The Carpenters.

I think the album CARPENTERS and CLOSE TO YOU would be a natural for this. As well as A KIND OF HUSH, same with VOICE OF THE HEART...4 of my TOP 4 FAVE Carpenters albums

[glow=green,2,300]  [/glow] "A Song For You" - I chose this one mainly because it has several hits. And to hear the songs "A Song For You", "Crystal Lullaby", and "Road Ode" in SACD would be totally awesome. "Horizon" - On the level of technology "Horizon" is the most important Carpenters album. On SACD and surround sound this album would be out of this world. As it stands when the album was recorded Richard miked every instrument and vocal seperately. More work went into this album than any other C's album. Just to hear all these seperate sounds in the technologically superior SACD format would really be something else. Each instrument would be even more defined and clear. I think of all the C's albums "Horizon" would benefit most in SACD format. "Passage" - Can you imagine hearing Peter Knight's outstanding orchestrations on "I Just Fall In Love Again", "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" and "calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft" in SACD? "Passage" cries out for this format. "B'wana she No Home" would have a new life to it. With Peluso's guitar work and Tom Scott's sax really standing out. |

Another one to add. "Christmas Portrait" - Karen's angelic vocals and Billy Mays', Peter Knight's and Richard Carpenter's arrangements and orchestrations would stand out even more so. |

 I would say that "Horizon" should be next, followed by "Christmas Portrait" and "Old Fashioned Christmas." "A Song for You" and "Passage," along with Karen's solo CD.

I would love to hear Christmas Portrait remixed in SACD format. The current remix available on Christmas Collection is dreadful. Karen sounds like she's singing from the bottom of a well. I know Richard said that the master tapes deteriorated unexpectedly, but surely today's technology could bring about a superior sound.

I would love to hear every single one in SACD, like they've done for Elton John, Bob Dylan and others, But thats only wishful thinking! I asked Richard's assistant about this a few days ago and got back a response saying that there are no plans for anymore SACD's at the moment  but I figure with the way business is, developments could change in days time! I don't think selling would be an issue cause the current SACD seems to be out of stock almost everywhere. |

I would definitely buy all of them. Certainly wishful thinking on our part. I would just be happy if they released amybe two or three on SACD. As you say with the way business is and also the continued strong sales of Carpenters catalog anything is possible. |

???welcome to the forum DVB3...I love those flashing or changing pictures of Karen and richard on your post!..Really great!
I agree with what everyone has said...all the albums would be just Wonderful!
I love a Song for You (especially Road Ode and a Song for you).
I can't think of any singing groups or such a voice as Karen's that is more deserving of the SACD technology!
