Hi Guys,
I just purchased THE SINGLES 1969-1981, and am listening to it and love the bonus song at the end...FOR ALL WE KNOW-Reprise.
This is from the LONDON BRIDGE Special from 1971. Karen's voice sounds heavenly..."Let's take a lifetime to say, I knew you well. For only time will tell us so, and love may grow, for all we know..." I love how she ends on KNOW. Just magestic.
My thoughts,
Cam

Yes, the For All We Know reprise is fantastic. Karen sings those few lines from the song with such power and easy that it makes you wish you could hear the whole song done that way. This is my favorite Carpenter song, by the way. Did you know it won the Academy Award for Best Song in 1971 and was given to Richard at the last minute for inclusion in the Carpenters (tan album). This wonderful and short song was rushed into recording and by the magic of Richard's arrangement and Karen's tender vocals it became their third top single. I just love this song!

Hi Cam
Must agree with you and Rob FAWK is a classic and this bonus rendition is short but sweet I like it myself and as usual Karens delivery and vocal is superb. I would like to see the video footage for this song or the entire LONDON BRIDGE Special from 1971 is it available anywhere?

Not sure, but I know that copies do exist, copies that were taped from tv back in the 1970's, as I got one from the LONDON BRIDGE special from a fellow fan.

Hi
I was actually born the same day that FAWK was released, 15 January 1971, according to a list I received from the fan club years ago. I love the song and reprise. Karen also sounds amazing singing the live version on the Live in Japan album.
I have two copies of the London Bridge Special and I can't even remember where I got them from. It's the silliest thing I've ever seen and I love every minute of it! Especially the bits with Karen and Richard. One thing I could never work out was why Tom Jones sang a duet with Jennifer 0'Neil who had a pathetic voice when he could have sang with Karen who had an amazing voice.
I also loved reading all the behind the scenes of making the special in the old fan club newsletters. Take it easy Nessie

I have only all the songs and the movie appearences by Karen and Richard.
They do *We've Only Just Begun*, For Al We Know* and *Love Is Surrender*.
..., and the shared movie lines with Jennifer O'Neill and Tom Jones.
Of course, the *Newsletters* are great references for me.  [glow=red,2,300][/glow][shadow=red,left,300]  [/shadow][shadow=red,left,300]Roland Chayer[/shadow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow]

FAWK -Reprise -is a delightful small extra added by Richard as a finale for this thoughtful Singles Compilation ....love Karen's vocal and more dramatic playing / arrangement for TV Special version  Will be interesting to discover how Singles 1969-1981 SACD sound has improved / changed this track and other Carpenters classics  Peter |
