Thanks. I never realized this was a Spiringfield song. Never heard any other version other than the Carpenters till today. I like this except for the intro, "sINNNNNG", that was bad juju. But for a change, Richard sings, and his piano at the end is excellent. I did always like this song.

I was first turned on to the Carpenters with their second album, Close To You; so when I realized there was an earlier album, I went searching in the bargain bins at the music Store. I found this album on a four track tape; about the only one I ever saw; fortunately it woud play on my state of the art 8track player, only just two tracks, though. At the time[1971] I think Lee Michaels, the Rock Keyboardist was very popular, but I thought Richard was as good or better. Thanks again, Florcha34

I first heard this version of "Clancy" in Vietnam in 1970. One of the guys had the Carpenters first album. It was originally called "Offering" but by the time i got home it was in stores under the name "Ticket To Ride" with totally different cover art but the same song line up as I remember. Personally I like like both versions but must admit the Buffalo Springfield  original has more depth and soul.

I think this arCarpenters arangement of this song very sensitive more than Buffalo Springfield sounds.

The keyboard is solid attack and solid drum beats beauty  heartbroken harmony with the clear ensemble and musical making. And nowadays Karen can't even sing.

many thanks for remembrance uploading.

i remind my innocence memory of sound of music.

sincerely.

Never knew the Carpenters did this song since I am a big Buffalo Springfield fan, so thanks -- not bad!!

I do think that this is excellent, especially Karen's back up vocals, but I understand the criticisms of it: they were far too young and naive personally to understand fully the message of this song. Also, their obsession with perfectionism did hurt them when they covered folk or country songs. Those genres work better, I think, when the performances are a little "rough."

I still would not use the term "butcher," though, as that indicates lack of musical ability, and these two had a ton of it.

Sorry, but I think they butchered a great song.

It's too sanitized, the rhythm is weird, strings and horns are overdone and I hate the electric piano. Intro is wretched.

I guess if you like great songs turned into elevator music this is great, but not me.

This is such a personal, introspective Neil song...how anyone could turn that into a pop number is beyond me. I'm going to try to forget that I saw this.

Had no idea the Carpenters covered this great Neil Young with Buffalo Springfield song. Excellent performance by Carpenters!
