Carpenters - MERRY CHRISTMAS DARLING (1992 Remix)

Details

Description

This rare remix appeared only once, on the Time-Life CD set, "Christmas With The Carpenters" (1992). Richard Carpenter recorded a new keyboard track to accompany Karen's 1978 vocal, and several instruments and voices were re-positioned in the original 1970 single mix.

I'm not a big fan of this remix (why tamper with perfection?), but I post it for the curious listener. Also, this post completes the "Merry Christmas Darling" Trilogy, accompanying the 1970 single version and the 1978 album version.
