Well My favorite isn't on the list and thats Horizon but of the ones on the list it was a toss up between the lovely photo of Karen on VOTH and the winner which was CTY. The cover with just Richard and Karen by the sea just seems peaceful and its a nice photo of the duo to boot.

I went with VOICE OF THE HEART. She just looks like a vision of loveliness. Such wonderful skin tone, half smile, line around her mouth, her eyebrows, those beautiful eyes, that mole underneath her right eyebrow, the highlights in her hair, the fluffed up hairdo, the nice white sweatshirt, her lovely nose...she just looks gorgeous.
I would have chosen CLOSE TO YOU as I love it very much, but VOICE OF THE HEART features a gorgeous close up of Karen.
And yes, I know, I didn't put HORIZON on the board...because although lots of people like it, it's nice to be able to remove something from the Carpenters that everyone likes or adores, and make you think of other selections that maybe have been overlooked.

??$ I'm with you, Cam. Voice of the Heart is a lovely picture of Karen. And, I have to admit, one of the better pictures anywhere of Richard - the grieving sibling, partner. I just have always thought this album cover was intriguing. Tim

Just like you enigma I feel "Horizon" is by far the Carpenters' best album cover so my vote goes to that one. But second is "Passage" I love that cover. I love the somewhat abstract artsy sense of it. I'm the unpopular one here in saying that I just don't care for the VOTH cover. For some reason I just do not care for that particular picture. I do love the "Close To You" cover it's a nice picture. I think both Karen and Richard look good.

Reminds me of Mrs. Slocumbe on "Are You Being Served" - they are so funny they are ab fab. And that's alright if you think the "Close To You" cover is horrid - I love it myself... but hey...

Even though A Kind of Hush cover may seem a little too "chummy" for R. and K. since they were bro. and sister, I've always liked it, Close to You...almost was my first choice, Passage is very pretty and colorful.... I realize now though, that I marked Yest. Once More instead of K. of H....or Cl. to You... oh well,

My 2 favorite covers are Horizon and Christmas Portrait. Of the choices offered, I choose A Kind of Hush. I love the art work and the space feel with the planets, along with the window effect. I think it is really imaginative. BTW Happy Birthday to my little boy! He is 6 today!

$&? Thanks for the wish, Rick! My favorite album cover has always been "A Song For You". Not so much for the cover but on the original album the inside sleeve had my favorite picture of Karen and Richard. This album was one of the first that I purchased for myself so it will remain a favorite of mine too.

$V$ Hey Rick!! IM FREE!!! Well Im not really...my XXXXX need feeding now & if I dont attend to it right away it will have a big gob on it all day long ( gob is slang for mouth by the way...I know Im as common as muck) Mollie Sugden is one of my fave actresses. But she was so much better in The Liver Birds as a snobbish awfull harridan of a Mother of one of two girls that shared a flat in Liverpool (UK) One of the best 1970s british sitcoms ever made that was. Ken.

Yeah, my fave British comedies are FAWLTY TOWERS, ARE YOU BEING SERVED?, SIMPLY FABULOUS and KEEPING UP APPEARANCES. Yes, and I love MOLLIE'S character and her "cat" description. And I love that show so much.

To me, Karen has/had the most beautiful face in the world..., so? Easy choice..., *Voice Of The Heart*.
*Happy Birthday* (a little late) to Mary Ann and Moe's son..., I thought I already voted on this thread. [glow=red,2,300][/glow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow][shadow=red,left,300]Roland Chayer[/shadow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow]

Passage is my favorite. Horizon is another favorite. But never cared much for Voice of the Heart.
