The Karen Carpenter Remix disc

[Rick Henry]

$? $? $?

I've always thought it would be interesting to release a "remix" version of Karen's solo album. This album lends itself well for remixing.

Here's a few thoughts:

Dance remixes by great mixers like Junior Velasquez, Giorgio Moroder, Jonathan Peters, Hex Hector and others.
The songs best for dance remixes would be:
"Lovelines"
"If I Had You"
"Making Love In The Afternoon"
"Remember When Lovin' Took All Night"
"Still In Love With You"
"My Body Keeps Changing My Mind"

And smooth groove mixes of the following songs would be great:
"If We Try"
"Make Believe It's Your First Time"
"Guess I Just Lost My Head"
"Still Crazy After All These Years"

And as an added bonus a nice mix of the unreleased "Love Making Love To You" would be very appreciated.

Thats a great idea. Hopefully somebody will do that oneday and also include the unreleased tracks. I haven't heard any of the unreleased tracks, where would I be able to find them?

An aussie singer called Marcia Hines had a hit here in the seventies with Somethings Missing(In My Life) which I think is the same song Karen recorded. I'd love to hear Karen singing it.

Take it easy,Nessie

Another dance hit could be DON'T TRY TO WIN ME BACK AGAIN...that would be a monstrous dance hit!!

True! I think with the right mix and the right promotion "Don't Try To Win Me Back Again" could easily be a huge club hit right now in 2005.

???Rick it still boggles my mind
that Love Making Love To You was
not included on Karens solo album.
Its just a fantastic song. I feel
that all of the unreleased solo
material is worthy of a 2nd solo
album. Also Don't Try To Win Me
Back Again would fit perfectly
in to days house music as you
and Cam pointed out.
