Sometime in 89 I was looking thru a mag and saw The Compact CD set advertised & with it came Lovelines. It was at the same time as The K C Story was about to be shown on TV. I then had a MEGA ROW with A&M who had just recently told me nowt else was being released by the carps & that was it...I in turn told A & M what I thought of them & then promptly went ballastic in a record store ( different one than b4) when I was told by the gum chewing old tart of about 149 that they proberbly wouldnt get it in as it wouldnt sell & the Cs were a load of Crap to which i said of course it wouldnt sell if morons like you lot dont stock it so people can buy it. I got the CD set.... my god a weeks wages & then got LP Lovelines. 12 beautiful songs with a good playtime tho I couldnt help but think that the powers that be just threw them togeather as an after thought with little or no care. Nice liner notes by R tho & the logo was there so all in all good...but oh those songs were fab & the Jacket was a gem too. a week or so later it made No 73 for a week & I blew my stack again at A & M for their lack of advertising...mind you that week the Cs had 3 LPs in the charts as the film was shown & both singles recharted at 24 and 42 so so 89 ended with a bit of a bang....carps1000

I too, found out about Lovelines quite by accident. I was shopping in our local mall here when I heard a NEW SONG sung by Karen. I made my wife stop so we could listen to the song over the mall's speaker system. I knew everything that had been released up until that time, and I hadn't heard this tune (Lovelines...the title track). So began the search, and eventually I found out (no internet for me at that time, certainly) that there was an album called Lovelines. It took a while, as I had to order it, but I finally got it. Of course, it had some of Karen's solo work on it, which was just unbelievably AWESOME, and I was way glad of that little happenstance at the mall. Otherwise, it may have taken even longer for me to have learned that another album of Carpenters music had hit the market. It truly was a treat, that's for sure. Tim
