ONLY YESTERDAY

Music by Richard Carpenter
Lyrics by John Bettis

Released in the spring of 1975 as the follow-up to “Please Mr. Postman,” “Only Yesterday” peaked at #4 in the United States and became a hit in a number of countries, but not to the extent of its immediate predecessor.  Still, Karen sounds marvelous and the production sparkles, as does the late Roger Young’s impressive engineering.
