Here's a little more detailed information about how A & M Records faded away from www.discogs.com/label/A_-_M_Records 1989-A & M sold to Polygram. 1993-Herb & Jerry leave A & M to start Almo records. 1998-Polygram bought by Universal. 1999-A & M exists in name only after it's merged with Geffen and Interscop. I do not have any updated information on the lawsuit brought by Herb Albert and Chuck Mangione against Polygram, but, I'll keep looking. Benn ;D

I would love to see some concert footage released here in the UK or any kind of video clip/compilation type of thing.

I would love to see more "live' stuff. For instance, it would great if Richard were able to do some interviews about what the Carpenter Performing Art Center has evolved into; more on the life of he and Karen and his idea of what could have been if Karen were still here; things like that.

I would love to see Richard put a DVD out of a concert of his own since he occasionally performs still. A video of one of the "Top Of The World" celebrations...ANYTHING!!

WE LOVE THE CARPENTERS!!!

I'm still waiting for a DVD release of one of their Las Vegas concerts from the mid 70's... as I was fortunate enough to attend one of them.

I would also like to see a DVD release of Karen's solo album. There never were any music videos filmed for her album... but with the many pictures taken and a bit of realistic looking animation and technology it can be done. Chris Tassin did a great job with "If I Had You" as many of us have seen on YouTube... I've been communicating with him about making another one for "Guess I Just Lost My Head"... hopefully that will be on YouTube in the next few months.

I'm sure the reason why Richard hasn't released any concert DVD's of his own is because there isn't much of a demand or market for it. Universal Music Group is only going to release product that will make a profit... and the profit seems to go squarely with Karen Carpenter.

Has anyone seen any footage on youtube of the Carpenter Performing Art Center that features Richard or his family, especially since some of his children usually perform a bit also.
