I really like the picture on the front of "Horizon". It has a touch of nature with all it's green and Karen looked very attractive. I also like the artistic sense of "Passage".

Hi All,
My favorite would definately be the CLOSE TO YOU album cover. I think that Karen is so beautiful. She has long flowing hair, a nice gorgeous color. I love her velvet neck band, and her long, white flowing gown. Her shoes are so hip, during that time. She just looks like a princess to me. Her smile, her face, everything about her. And Richard looks very handsome and nice too. They compliment each other. The view is nice too. I was only dissapointed that there were no inner sleeve pics.
My thoughts,
Cameron
PS. My next fave is VOICE OF THE HEART, MADE IN AMERICA and A KIND OF HUSH

Ooooh, this is a good one. Let me see, I guess I'd have to say Made in America. I like the cool profile look, but as far a solo pic of Karen, she's on Lovelines and Voice of the Heart and I prefer Voice of the Heart pic.
My very favorite pic on a album is the inside of A Song For You. I used it as my desktop background at work for ages until I saw another and I have that one now.

Hey Beaner,
Um. I think the LOVELINES pic is one of Karen and Richard together, in late 1980. But I do love the solo one of Karen from her NEW YORK photo sessions, for the VOICE OF THE HEART cover. She just looks beautiful. I love her eyebrows and her gorgeous eyes, as well as her straight, perfect teeth and lovely smile. I also love her nose. Her hair is cool too...very stylish. Also, she has her ears pierced, which is neat.

Hi Cam,
It was the solo CD that I meant cause the first song on that tape is Lovelines.

Horizon - Karen lost the bangs and gained some sex appeal, she looked great.
A Kind Of Hush - At first I didn't like it, but this one's grown on me.
A Song For You - Love the heart cover.
Now & Then - I think this is their very best album cover.

My favourite is definetly NOW & THEN cover, specially the record cover. It opens in three parts, you can see Richard's red Ferrari, The Newville house, and the inner sleeve is fantastic too, it has this light brown color and has these classic cars. I found this one has a lot of K & R. But in general I think all C's record covers are awesome

I'll have to agree with you, Jorge. Now & Then is my favorite. I have that album, along with Ticket to Ride, Superstar and A Song For You (I have three Song For You's).
I was told by the guy in the record store when I bought it about five years ago or so that I had a "rare record club edition" (whatever that means)....seems like he said something about the brown inner sleeve...or something of that sort.
For whatever reason....I don't know why...and this probably sounds strange....but I ALWAYS equate that lamp post on the front of the Now & Then cover...in front of the house where Karen died....as being parallel to her "limp body"inside that house when she died...I just always make that correlation...parallell when I look at it (don't know why!). But it always triggers that thought for me.

THAT way she is holding her gown...... The WAY she is crossing her legs..... I always spend a long time watching the details of that cover. In some Carps site, I found another photo in black and white of that session. Rich and Karen are stand up. |

I should probably make a clarification about the "lamp post" on the Now & Then cover (or perhaps someone else can). I just have always ASSUMED that shadow that "limps down" on the front upstairs window is the shadow from a street light/lamp post. And I know Karen died in one of the bedrooms upstairs--though I don't know for sure if it is the bedroom where the shadow falls over--but THAT is why I am always reminded of THAT....it is like (for me) a premonition of her death upstairs. Weird, I know....but my thoughts.  |

 My favorite cover is that of "Christmas Portrait." I love the painting and the Norman Rockwall feel to it. "Old Fasioned Christmas" is good, too, but not up to "Portrait." For regular studio albums, I love the "A Kind of Hush" cover the best. I love the space feel along with the frost-look of the window. "Horizon" would be my second choice because both Karen and Richard look great on the cover. I really like the cover of the CD compliation from A&M. I think it is called the Classic Series. It is similar to "Lovelines, but not quite, and it is in color. my opinions....

Kind of Hush is nice.
But I also like Yesterday Once More and As Time Goes By.
I like the colors in Passage.
Of these, I only own As Time Goes By.

I love the Made In America cover
with there smiling faces facing
forward. It makes me think that
they were ready to face the future
with this comeback album.

I would have to go with Horizon It was a new look for the duo they seemed to have a more serious look about them like they were trying to break away from their goody two shoes image. The cover also seemed to reflect the material on the album, more low key and somber and yes Karen did have a edgier look on this album than previous covers. A great cover for thier best album (in my opinion).

Hi All,
I always thought of all the albums, this was the one she looked the sickest. She looks emaciated and sad, and tired. Her arms are so thin. Her collar bones stick out. But of course some beautiful songs. But I suppose I am partial to the A KIND OF HUSH songs. And Karen looks so pretty on that album cover.

I really liked the Horizon cover. Karen's arms do look thin, but she doesn't look emaciated. I think with the Hush inner picture she looked pale and withdrawn.
My favorite cover is Now & Then - this was their best. I also like Close To You - I just don't understand why Richard doesn't like it. The reissued Ticket To Ride cover on the boat is also a favorite.
