Keep the poll out of this one, please! I find that there is more explaining when the poll isn't there.

Lovelines is an album released in 1989 of unreleased tracks. The studio albums stopped with Made In America, but four albums thereafter were released of material not released previously. I am glad that Richard decided to do this and maybe if we are lucky, we will have another album someday, but most signs point to no, unfortunately. Lovelines is one of my latest additions since I got it about two months ago. I regard Carpenters albums better than any other artists albums, so it's a definite favorite, for sure.

My favorite track is You're The One. It's a classic tune, but it has a somber meaning now.

Four? Weren't they Voice of the heart, Lovelines and As time goes by?

I pick Slow dance, love this song, so simple and so good!

Edit: Sure, I forgot An old-fashioned Christmas!

For me it's also 'Slow Dance', I love the old fashioned romantic feel to the music and lyrics.

Very close runner up would be the musically ambitious 'If I Had You'. This is my favourite from the KC album, although I think Richard's treatment of it is waaaaayy better

Jeeze. I LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM MORE THAN ANY OF THE OTHER ONES! It is an absolute classic. I love "Slow Dance" and "Your The One" the best. Classic Carpenters.

You're The One, and Honolulu City Lights

You're The One, Kiss Me The Way You Did Last Night, Where Do I Go From Here, Lovelines, If I Had You, If We Try.

Great picks on every album, everyone!

Your The One, Where Do I Go From Here and The Uninvited Guest would get my votes.

THE UNINVITED GUEST

Quite alot of reverb on her voice which I like, and it has a feel of Little Alter Boy, almost hymn-like. Shame about the choir, but this is one where you just about get away with them, perhaps because of the above.

Where Do I Go From Here (I had a wonderfully surreal experience one time while this song was playing...I posted about it somewhere around here in the fall of 2006 I believe. ) and Honolulu City Lights

Ever since I read this I was curious about Jennifer Warnes version, so I'm downloading it right now:

I Love "You're The One", "Where Do I Go From Here?" and "If I Had You".

It's a great album ! I do like "The Uninvited Guest" apart from the keyboards in the middle. They sound terrible !

I do not count the solo record tracks for my vote because it is technically not a carpenters record and it was properly released later. Of the other songs I like them all but will go with the uninvited guest for my favorite track off Lovelines.

The Uninvited Guest

LOVELINES was the first Carpenters studio album i bought like 18 yrs ago when i got my first CD player...i bought Lovelines first because i haven't heard any of the track lol.....then felt so happy when discovered You're The One and Where Do You Go From Here were the songs from Karen Carpenter Story

My favorite is "If I Had You". If it had been released after Karen finished the solo project I think it would have been a hit.
There is an awesome video of the song on YouTube.
