![]() img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/folder/earthspin.gif [/IMG] Very well done guys! A Kind of Hush is also one of my very favorites....I still have the LP...and also fell in love with the cover inside and out....whenever I bought it....thanks so much for all the research and time put into getting all the reviews together!   After once again reading through this review and the info. on each song....it really is a very special album! It makes me realize also that it does take a lot of time and research for each song. Each song is very interesting! I remember that funny "Winchester Cathedral" song....that "megaphone sound".. And for some reason, I recall hearing it way back then in the 60's....I was 8 and me and my folks were on our way back from CA. Disneyland back to Tx.... I was very tired, but I got a kick out of that one...

 Nice job, guys. I really agree with you on your review of each song. Did not know about the "DeShannon is back" lyric. I will have to play the song and find something new...after all these years.

Brilliant work Rick and Cam. Your review makes you want to go back and listen to these great songs again. Their record sales in the U.S. may have sagged, but the quality of this album was there front and center. All artists experience a lag in sales after a huge peak. Carpenters had such a string of succes from 1970 to 1975 that the reduction is sales of AKOH was almost inevitable. I believe they switched management in 1975 or 1976 and were told that TV was the way to go at this point. Of course TV proved to be the next big step in their careers. Had Karen lived, Carpenters would have hit their groove again in the 1980s and gone on to new heights.

??# ??$ ??$ Brilliant guys. A K O H is also one of my fave albums right down to the cover. I remember when it was released in the UK it was posted all over one of the record stores's in towns windows both inside & main jackets. The only thing I didnt like about it was that the jacket seemed to fray & crease really easily. there was also a huge pull out AD in one of the tabloid papers covering it with the words" Do you wanna spend a romantic evening with your loved one??Then this is the album for you..I wish Id kept it but there you are. Also One of the main Radio DJs on one of the main radio stations played Goofus one morning saying"this brill song is the new Cs single" unfortuneatly it wasnt released over here & hed made a mistake but never mind...wonder how it would have charted had it been released over in the UK?. Cs Once again at their best. Ken Carps1000
