The Carpenters - A Song For You album cover | |||||||||||||||
A Song for You is the fourth album released by the Carpenters. It was released on June 13, 1972. According to Richard Carpenter, "A Song for You was intended to be a concept album (of sorts) with the title tune opening and closing the set and the bookended selections comprising the 'song'." In Cash Box's Top 100 Albums of 1972, "A Song for You" was #26. A special gold-plated disc CD of "A Song for You" was later sold to the general public, (the idea being it sounded better that a standard CD, however the original CD is so well made, the differences between the two is minimal).
The recording is generally considered the finest original release by the Carpenters. No less than six songs were released as A-side singles - "Hurting Each Other," "It's Going To Take Some Time This Time," "Goodbye To Love," "Top of the World," "Won't Last A Day Without You," and "Bless The Beasts And The Children." The first four releases all landed in the top 12. Track Listing: 1. "A Song for You" - 4:42 (L. Russell) 2. "Top of the World" - 2:56* (J. Bettis/R. Carpenter) 3. "Hurting Each Other" - 2:46* (G.
