CARPENTERS Christmas Portrait RARE Original 1978 vinyl LP MINT /Sealed (48 year old LP)
Christmas Portrait is the first Christmas album and ninth studio album by the Carpenters, released on October 13, 1978.
CHRISTMAS PORTRAIT was an immediate seasonal favorite, that only built its reputation over time. Every year, the album would appear in the Christmas racks, and every year it seems to grow in stature. The reason has to be Karen’s enthusiasm. She thoroughly enjoyed Christmas music and really put her heart and soul into the efforts on this album, and it shows.
The album includes a revised version of the duo’s signature Christmas song, “Merry Christmas Darling”, featuring re-recorded vocals by Karen Carpenter.
The original album cover by Robert Tanenbaum is modeled on Norman Rockwell’s 1960 painting “Triple Self-Portrait”, done as a cover for The Saturday Evening Post.
