Didnt chart here but I must admire R for this lp as I thought it was really good. His singing aint bad either on this. No logo of course but playtime was good & jacket wasnt bad either as well as the inner sleeve having the words on it.. carps1000

I liked this album. I had to order it, and I remember having to go to the post officie to pick it up when it arrived. We never had good album outlets here in Springfield. At any rate, I was amused at first, when I heard it. I really love Richard's arrangements, and he has a great voice. I just sometimes think there were things he could have stayed away from to actually take the lead vocal on, if you get my meaning. Especially some words..... Nevertheless, the more I listened to this compilation, the more I liked it. And I do like it. Oddly, my favorite tune on the whole album is Scott Grimes' "That's What I Believe." I loved the feel of the song, and I thought Grimes did an excellent job of harmonizing with himself. He nailed the overdubs. Now, as for his voice - well, I thought he was a young kid, and would grow out of that. As I now know, Thanks to Santa Jim, that didn't happen. Scott still has the same high-pitched voice he did when he recorded That's What I Believe on the Time album. I loved Something In Your Eyes, with Dusty Springfield, too. What a beautiful song. Not crazy about the Dionne Warwick selection, but I like a couple of the solo pieces that Richard did ("Calling Your Name Again" and "I'm Still Not Over You"). I have taken a couple of those power pop things that he did, and slowed them down a bit to do myself. I like them much better. They come across better in my mind as more of a pop, not power tune. Each to his own. Overall, I like the album very much. I find it enjoyable to listen to, and do, regularly. Tim

I liked this album when it first came out and I still do. I've purchased the CD too in addition to having the LP edition. I really like the theme song "Time". I think Richard does a great job with it.
Favorites of mine are some of yours too, Tim. I like "Calling Your Name Again" and "I'm Still Not Over You".
I'd love to have Richard come out with another solo album, even if there is no singing. None of the Carpenters original tunes, his own new stuff. I wonder just how many songs he has written over the years that we haven't heard.

I really love " TIME" , even tho for a time LOL I couldn't listen to it only because I could hear alittle of Karen when Richard put his voice as a choir. that was a long time ago( LOL). Now I listen to it alot, I love the song ' Time', reminds me of flat baroque, makes me feel like going on a trip or something also his dedication song to Karen was really beautiful then the song ' Something in your eyes' is really great OK I could go on and on it is worth haveing
