The 5th Dimension - Carpet Man - 45 RPM - ORIGINAL MONO MIX

[soaringvulture]

A cynical and bitter song done to perfection. I can't imagine what was going through Jimmy's mind when he did this. I'm pretty sure he was the carpet man.

jimmy l webb is simply the best.....

[Childofthemoon1969]

Wow !!! what a find to yet another Jim Webb classic loved this group who seemed so damned good & of course the wonderful Marilyn & Florence at the forefront both in voice & stunning beauty xXx

The sitar part was the best part of the song.

[ProjectRedPill1]

Love that sitar. A classic... scratches and all.

Thanks for the memories.

Nothing can beat the harmony of the great 'Fifth Dimmension"!

[andwen66]

this is what one would call talent

[090250]

great song should have charted much higher in early '68

[Tubatoofpaste]

Love the THUD at the beginning and the scratches at the end and the distorted sound. What memories, what memories. Great song, too!

This is a great song, & I like the 5th Dimension's version, but I like Johnny Rivers version of it better. I don't know if his was a 45, I remember it from his LP titled REWIND.

[JackFlanders]
