THE CARPENTERS - An Old-Fashioned Christmas (VINYL LP, 1984) **NEW**
This poignant posthumous holiday release captures The Carpenters' signature soft-rock elegance in a lush, orchestral tribute to Victorian-era carols, arranged by Peter Knight with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra's sweeping strings and choral layers. Released just months after Karen's death, it showcases her crystalline soprano on classics like "O Holy Night" (a soaring, multi-tracked showcase) and "Carol of the Bells," alongside gentle originals such as "(There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays." Richard's piano and subtle production evoke candlelit nostalgia—less pop sparkle, more meditative warmth. At ~40 minutes, it's a serene spin for unwinding amid the frenzy, blending '70s AM gold with symphonic depth. The 1984 vinyl pressing highlights analog richness (better than some CD transfers); a fitting capstone to their catalog.
