The
Carpenters Legacy Lives On...
Offering/Ticket
To Ride
Ticket
to Ride was the very first A&M Records studio album ever released
by the Carpenters in 1969. Originally the album was titled "Offering",
but the name and album cover was later changed after the popularity
of the single "Ticket To Ride" showed some moderate
popularity, Reaching #54 on the charts, along with the later popularity
of "Close To You" in 1970. The Ticket To Ride album
itlsef reached #150 on the U.S charts.
My
personal favorite songs on Ticket To Ride are of course "Ticket
To Ride" and "Someday". I also noticed that this
first Carpenters album showcases Richard Carpenter's writing and
vocal talent quite a bit as well.
Ticket
To Ride the song was re-recorded in 1973, with Karen re-recording
her vocals and drum solo, along with the addition of Carpenters'
guitarist Tony Peluso performing on electric guitar.
For
a collector or fan Ticket To Ride is certainly worth checking
out, if for no other reason, It is the very fist Carpenters album.
