AMAZING! Makes my mind wander back to being late teens. Small Baptist church in small town Alabama... and my best friend would compose prayer responses... very close to this (but he was 16 / 17 so not quite as polished)... and that little choir could do harmonies and he loved dissonance.. and it was amazing. Sad I didn't save copies of everything he did. RIP Ken
im not new to the Carpenters but am to the original albums . Can someone please clarify why 'Offering' and 'Ticket to Ride' albums are one and the same? The first track is longer here than on Offerings. Otherwise whats the difference if any?
This is just the bookends of the album in one clip. Whoever uploaded this just spliced them back to back. The album was originally released as Offering with a completely different cover. When they started becoming popular, their record label reissued the album as Ticket to Ride to capitalize on the track of the same name.
Offering and Ticket to Ride are exactly the same album. Offering was the original title. It was changed probably because the second title was perceived as more accessible.
Am I the only one who shed a tear (or two) listening to these 2 together?
I absolutely love the Carpenters. Karen, we'll never forget you!!
Still get chills listening to it
The harmony is unbelievable.
Tight harmony.
My gosh, how beautiful was the voice of 18-19 year old Karen Carpenter!
Simply Angelic ❤.
Exquisite. Takes my breath and all stress away the minute I hear this. Thank you, Richard Carpenter and John Bettis, for this shimmering beauty.
