ERIC CARMEN - Eric Carmen (1975)
http://www8.zippyshare.com/v/10729383/file.html
Carmen stormed the charts in 1975 with this album's two lush, forlorn ballads, "Never Gonna Fall in Love Again" and "All By Myself." But his history as a pop-rocker with The Raspberries was also a strong presence on this solo debut's album tracks. His own early history provides the story for "That's Rock 'n' Roll" (turned into a hit single by Shawn Cassidy), and the opening "Sunrise" is a jangle-pop masterpiece. Other power-pop highlights include the harmony-rich kiss-off "Last Night" and Badfinger-styled "No Hard Feelings," both drawing heavily on The Beatles and Beach Boys. The closing cover of "On Broadway" is out of place among Carmen's originals, not least of which for the slick wind-chimes and synthesizers. Rhino's reissue of the original Arista album thoughtfully includes the album version of "All By Myself" (all 7-minutes, 10-seconds of it, including a lengthy instrumental passage in the middle) (Hyperbolium)
Ex-lead singer for the group The Raspberries, Eric Carmen released, in my opinion one of 1975's best albums. The huge radio hit "All By Myself" and the followup hit "Never Gonna Fall In Love Again" were very touching songs. "All By Myself", included on this cd is in it's full length (7 min.) , was a masterpiece with Carmen playing piano and singing with great emotion. No wonder it was played so much on radio back then - a real tear jerker. The album has some great pop rock songs with the standouts being the catchy "Sunrise", "Last Night", "My Girl", "No Hard Feelings", and "That's Rock & Roll" (also made popular by teen idol Shawn Cassidy). Carmen also does an excellent version of The Drifter's hit "On Broadway". If you enjoy melodic seventies pop rock and ballads then Carmen's debut is a cd you'll certainly treasure. (Amazon)
Thank You.

Many thanks, looks interesting
If one was a "serious" Raspberries fan in the '70's, chances are they were pretty excited about this LP being coming out. I remember my reaction upon seeing the cover, when I went to buy the record at Korvette's record department on Central Avenue (on the outskirts of Scarsdale, NY, at that time managed by future rock-critic Jim Farber). Carmen's image was even more blow-dried now, and with its black and shiny-gold treated graphics, the album looked weird to me and a bit too much like something released by Arista labelmate Barry Manilow. The record was undeniably good, but had a much more sterile studio sound than the really ballsy-sounding Raspberries records. Carment was a star songwriter who could sing his ass off, but by the time this was released, something was ending and he really did rapidly fade from here on out, especially in terms of being a rock and roller. But he really was a a gigantic talent and had a great run for several years.
Thanks for Elements! The cover art seems to be missing, but I'll settle for the music any day!
