Up for bid! A rare 12" demo lp by Carpenters entitled Offering . A&M Records SP-4205 in Stereo. Karen Carpenter was 19 years old, she played the drums on all the songs and the electric bass on 2 of them. Brother Richard played the keyboard instruments, composed 10 of the 13 songs and arranged all of them. Of course, they both sang and I do believe that this was their first album release.

The vinyls have been played, they have mild swooshes and scratches. Sorry, no turntable but I don't think any are severe enough to cause a pop or crackle. Promotional Copy Not For Sale is printed on the labels. The songs on Side 1 are: Invocation, Your Wonderful Parade, Someday, Get Together, All Of My Life and Turn Away. Side 2: Ticket To Ride, Don't Be Afraid, What's The Use, All I Can Do, Eve, Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing and Benediction.

The jacket has very light rubwear and a few agespots on the front, at the top. (in the white area) The back has agespots, it looks like there was a promo sticker in the upper left corner. No rips or splits along the edges.
