Does anyone have or know about the album "More Offerings"? a few wks. ago, on e-bay someone had the original rare record album called "More Offerings" and from what the picture showed, it was a very young Karen and Richard on the cover and then one or two pics of only Karen. I don't know what songs it had on it, but the description said it was very rare recording which was the second album by the Carps. I watched off and on during the wk. how people were bidding on it and it started out a modest price and then I know it was over 30 dollars when the auction ended. It must be really rare since I surely had not heard of it..but, then again I am far from owning all their records or knowing much about them.

Hi Smooth, I purchased "More Offerings" on CD about a year ago from a music retailer in the city of Orange here in California. I payed something like $28.00 for it after tax. It's a collection of songs from the Television specials, and from their 1971 summer series called "Make Your Own Kind Of Music", and also a few early tracks. Here is a list of the songs; Goodnight - Karen and CSLB Choir Karen and Ella Medley Thank you For The Music Make Your Own Kind Of Music Medley Can't Buy Me Love Cinderella Rockafella I Fell In Love Again A Song For You / Without A Song Medley featuring K&R w/ Ella and John Davidson Dancin' In The Streets/Boogie Nights/I Could Have Danced All Night From The Heart omes The Soul Carpenters & Perry Como Medley In the Old Fashioned Way - Karen w/ John Davidson I've Got Rhythm Knowing When to Leave/Make It Easy On Yourself/Someday When I Die - Karen w/ CSLB Choir
"More Offerings" is I believe a bootleg unofficial release. The sound quality is not that great. It has a lot of hiss. Most of these songs have since been released on "As Time Goes By" and "From The Top". I'm sure more of these songs will be released in the future.

:)thanks Rick...I'm glad I asked since sounds like the best thing to do is get the official recordings that you mentioned.

"I Fell In Love Again" is sung by one of the guys in the band, maybe Doug Strawn, although you can hear K&R doing background harmonies, especially Karen. It was recorded around 1967 at the same time as "Can't Buy Me Love". "I Fell In Love" is a real rockin' song very indicative of it's time period.

Correction: It was recorded "live" for a radio program named Your Navy Presents in march of 1970, together with eleven songs more. Some years ago, I downloaded them from Audiogalaxy and made me a CD (until Richard and Universal Records decide release an official and clean version, with booklet and rare photos included)

But the song was recorded in 1970 (not 1967) for your Navy Presents as Federico mentioned.

You are right, Boat2sail. I did a relisten to my home-made CD and Doug and Karen say: I Fell In Love AGAIN, so it was my typewriting mistake. THANKS!!!!

I believe it was released at some point in 1970. I have never seen it so I don't think it had a very large distribution. I wonder if it was released by A&M. I would really love to own this collection.

I saw that LP picture in somewhere, but I think that included the program itself with another material, apart of some Carpenters songs(it doesn't include all the songs of my homemade CD). I will ask my father that send you a copy of my CD(it isn't illegal?)

.....I will ask my father that send you a copy of my CD(isn't it illegal?) Right now, I'm sending you a mp3 copy of Your Navy Presents. Tell me if you received it. I wonder, how don't you have a copy of it or never heard it, if you are a die hard Carp fan?

I had never heard about "Your Navy Presents" until the release of "From The Top" in 1990. And it wasn't until two years ago that I found out that there were several songs recorded for the interview. I thank you for sending the MP3's to me, I am downloading them right now. I just listened to "Ticket To Ride" - I really like this different recording. Thank you very much Federico, I am eternally grateful.
