Hit: 5 Stars
It's clear to me the Carpenters had a blast recording this album. The introductory song "Yesterday Once More" gives us a clue as to what comes next, as does the song listing. This album contains the classic aforementioned track along with international favorite hit single "Sing" and the ultimate album cut classic "This Masquerade" which was covered and turned into a radio staple by George Benson. Leon Russell penned the classic track, the first cover the Carpenters did of Leon was "Superstar" and we all know what covering that tune led to. Karen's vocal delivery of "This Masquerade is best described as smooth. Her breathing is perfect, modulation is minimal. Love the solo flute. Richard is a whiz at instrumentals, "Heather" fits like a glove. The medley is what both fasinates and irritates me. The vocal delivery from both Karen and Richard is, as always, perfect. The vocal overdubbing on the "group" songs like "Johnny Angel" with Karen doing all the parts gives these pieces an unusual and welcome warmth. If the originals sounded more like the treatments they are given here, I may have liked the sixties a little better. All the songs were recorded seperatley and then segued together, bridged with a really annoying DJ thing voiced by Tony Peluso. It's supposed to be a radio show. Now, if interested there exists a remix of this medley, sans DJ, available on an anthology from Readers Digest, along with an exclusive to that release only live medley of Burt Bacharach tunes, one of which is "Any Day Now" later covered and turned into a pop crossover hit by Ronnie Milsap. One song on "Now And Then" which is a personal favorite is "I Can't Make Music." Karen really opens up on that one and a stripped down version that showcases her lead vocal is available on "Treasures" and in remastered "Treasures" version on the 2000 release "By Request." For lack of a better term, the remix is breathtaking.
