Karen Carpenter

Despite Karen Carpenter's enthusiasm, indeed, excitement, about the recording, a decision was made to suppress the work.

That meeting occurred in spring 1980; the album was finally released in 1996.

While the whole story will probably never be known, it is difficult not to draw the obvious conclusions - but we just do not know.

If this album is unavailable, it's worth trying ebay, but I recommend observing before bidding - prices vary considerably
