  • Description

    Standard-bearers of adult contemporary pop throughout the 70s, sibling duo Richard and Karen Carpenter kicked off a phenomenal run of success with their US chart-topping arrangement of Bacharach-David's (They Long To Be) Close To You, in 1970, and continued to dominate the airwaves during the early part of the decade, thanks to their iconic recordings of songs such as We've Only Just Begun and For All We Know. As their Australian television special of 1972 proved, the duo were also consummate live performers, Karen effortlessly handling drumming and singing duties at the heart of a group that deftly transposed Richard's sumptuous arrangements to an in-concert setting. Featuring those landmark hits, plus their unique takes on The Beatles' Help! and Ticket To Ride, Live In Australia 1972 proves just why Carpenters' craft remains so revered around the world.
