OK, maybe I'm just a dunce who does not know a whole lot about the Carpenters' music, but somewhere there is a version of the song "Yesterday Once More" that I heard only a few times on the radio, long long ago, and have been unable to locate. At the end, when the chorus is fading out, Karen's voice comes back in with "when I was young I'd listen to the radio" followed by a multi-voice dub "so fine, so fine" and these two repeat several times, with a reverb effect increasing each time. Where is it? Does anyone know what I'm refering to?

Hi Chris,
That is the YESTERDAY ONCE MORE reprise...featured at the ending of the medley on the 1973 NOW AND THEN album. I actually like this reprise. I also love the A SONG FOR YOU reprise on the 1972 album (better than the whole A SONG FOR YOU song)

Cameron, thanks for replying, but.....
What I remember is not a medley, but simply the song "Yesterday Once More" with the different ending - would they have played the reprise on the radio following the song, not as a medley? Or am I misunderstanding something?

I remember hearing "Yesterday Once More" being followed with the "Yesterday Once More Reprise" on the radio. It was done from time to time.
But yes the reprise does live at the very end of the "Now and then" album.

Hello,
Oh sorry. I thought you meant the Yesterday Once More reprise. I did not actually know that the song Yesterday Once More had that ending...on the full song. Well you learn something new everyday...I guess..

I wasn't aware of the reprise version of that Yest. Once More until I did hear it on the Now and Then cd. I didn't know that that version had been played on the radio back then either. But I really like it. It's much like on A Song For You album where you hear it at the first of the album and then it finishes the record that way too. It's just another brilliant way R. and K. had of making a great record. A Song For You is hauntingly beautiful and somewhat ironic (or not) since Karen did live a relatively short life and certainly has us remembering her for it.
