Oh I'm so happy!!!
Some days ago, I sent Becky an e-mail with three questions for Richard and he answered!!!
These are the questions and his answers:
#1 -Richard did a great job in the past remixing tracks as "It's going to take some time" or "Reason to believe", I wonder if remixing tracks are on his plans, I'd love to hear some new remixes, in songs like "Crescent Noon", "Someday", "Bacharach/David Medley", "(I'm caught between) Goodbye & I love you" among others.
No.
(UGH!!!) GRRRRRR (this is me!! hahahaha)
#2 How long took to record a Carpenters' track on those days at A&M Records? I mean, how much time demanded an entire recording session for a song? I know that maybe it depended on the song, but what was the average? and, do you remeber which was the longest?
Ordinarily we didn’t
do a whole track start-to-finish at one time; the rhythm session, a string
session, vocal sessions, were recorded at different times, and over for example
Merry Christmas Darling, Bless The Beasts & Children, For All We Know, about
a week. From start to finish, to record, master and mix, about ten days
#3 Do you remember which was the recording session that Karen & you enjoy the most and why?
“Close To You” with the vocals stacking up and the big build-up at the end.
Again, I'm so happy except for the # 1. You know, I had hopes!!!
Regards
Jorge
