Carpenters Original Master Karaokes

[Federico Cruz]

If Universal Music Company could release this album alone in the USA market, without the same songs sung by Karen, I do adquired it.
I have so many compilations to adquire another one (22 Hits Of The Carpenters).
Well, in the meantime, I have downloaded 14 Carpenters Original Master Karaokes and I could assure to all of you that this is a real "fan item".
What a wonderful to hear only the vocal harmonies, the instrumentation, the music arrangement and.... try to sing like Karen.
I don't have We've Only Just Begun and Sing.
Could someone send me this two tracks to my e-mail , PLEASE!.

[Rick Henry]

A karaoke album of the original recordings (minus the lead vocal) would be great listening - just to hear the music and the chilling background and harmony vocals. WOW!

Federico please post your email address so anyone who has these tracks can contact you.

[Federico Cruz]

Oh,yes!

BTW, Rick, haven't you heard still the carps karaoke versions?

[YesterdayOnceMore]

Federico, I'm not sure I have these two tracks, but I do have the Karaoke versions of Carpenters....Jim sent it to me. Of course, I will treasure it, always.

Rick, if this is something you do not have, perhaps when I come to LA, I can give you a copy of it. I would be honored to be able to do something like this for you.

Federico, I'll check, and if I have these two, I'll make MP3 versions of them and send them to you. Give me a bit of time....I'm unbelievably busy these days.

Best to all,
Tim

I will be very grateful of you ,Tim, if I put my ears on these two last tracks.
Remember, I'm talking about the ORIGINAL master karaoke.
I have been hearing a near to perfection version of WOJB in Bearshare, but it's not real Carps.

Wow... I thought I was daydreaming some years ago when I came across a version of "Close to You" with Karen singing the first verse a cappella, with the instrumental portion accompanying her for the rest of the song. Then I heard a version of "Bless the Beasts and Children" and a couple other songs without the lead vocals. I didn't realize that entire album(s) of such karaoke tunes were released until this discussion thread. Tim and Federico, what is the complete list of songs in the Carpenters Original Master Karaoke album? This is really fantastic news that I only fantasized about in another recent posting! Thanks!

Thanks for the listing! I wonder why the Karaoke album isn't more widely promoted here in the U.S.!
