Many of the songs on this CD were on albums that had not been released at the time of this CD's release. Since then, "Made in America" and "Passages" have been released on CD. Also, many songs were from Karen's solo album that was not released until years after this one. Her album was on the shelf for years! Now that those "lost" albums have already been released, is there any reason to buy this album? Actually, yes. Sure, you can find these songs on different CD's but there is one song in particular that I want to discuss. "If I Had You" was Karen's subtle disco-flavored song from her solo project. The song has a nice arrangement. This version is not the same one as on her solo album, though. Nor is it the same one that is on their boxed set "From the Top." Lovelines' "If I Had You" has a different ending. All the others fade off. This one has a really neat ending. This is why I would recommend this album to you. The other songs ont eh album deserve honorable mention but I feel that "If I Had You" is the highlight of the album. Because some of the songs are from Karen's solo project, this technically isn't a complete Carpenters album. Several songs from her solo album are on this CD. Her smooth vocals continue to tug on heartstrings when you listen to this CD. Heartbreak and romance are the themes on this CD. Highlights: The Uninvited Guest, When I Fall in Love, Remember When Lovin' Took All Night, Honolulu City Lights, If I Had You. Get Karen's Solo CD instead. All of the songs are well-mixed and produced, as only Richard Carpenter could do it. However, this collection of songs is sleepy, even for the Carpenters. Four of the tracks are from Karen's solo CD, which is much more interesting and upbeat. I suggest buying KAREN CARPENTER instead. Carpenters Fan: Reviewing Lovelines Lovelines is one of the best Carpenters albums Richard has produced. My Favourite track is slow dance, it's amazing, it takes you to another world, Karen's voice had so much power and emotion. As with all Carpenters albums, well produced and put together, so much magic in each songs. A must have for Carpenters and music fans, of all ages.<BR>And a little note, to A MUSIC FAN FROM MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, are you sure you have got the right album (Lovelines) because i don't think they sound all the same, and Richard's arrangements on every piece is magic, and full of Love and happiness, unlike music nowadays.
