From Wikipedia: “The album was recorded in New York with producer Phil Ramone in 1979 and 1980, during the time that her brother Richard was being treated for an addiction to Quaaludes.A&M executives in New York approved the material, but the executives in Los Angeles, including label owners Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss, responded negatively. Ramone recalls that Carpenter broke down in tears.Devastated, she accepted A&M’s urging not to release the album. Richard Carpenter later said that the decision not to release the album was Karen’s, who respected the opinions of A&M executives and others— including him. Several musicians that worked on the album have said that Carpenter very much wanted her album to be released and that it was not her idea or decision to shelve it.” In 1996 – 13 years after Karen had passed – A CD of 12 of the songs recorded were released in October on A&M Records without much fanfare. A year later, someone from the Phil Ramone camp released bootleg cassettes & CDs of the 9 remaining songs. Most in poor quality. These are the "unfinished" songs given some editing and polish.
