But mostly they were street singers, busking regularly in Central Park. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTheir only LP, \u003cem\u003eLimited Edition\u003c\/em\u003e, was released in 1970, and sold mainly at gigs and on the street. \u003cem\u003eSomewhere in The Stars\u003c\/em\u003e compiles earlier, previously unreleased recordings, when all three members were signed with Peer-Southern Music publishers as writers and began using their studio to make demos and experiment musically. Beautifully recorded by house engineer \u003cstrong\u003eCharlie Mack\u003c\/strong\u003e (supervised by Jimmy Ienner), the demos capture a back room casualness and rustic, homespun quality. For me, listening to their songs and harmonies is like entering a world you always hoped existed but had never experienced.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSome of the songs were re-recorded the following year for \u003cem\u003eLimited Edition\u003c\/em\u003e, but many are heard here for the first time. Among them is the original demo for Richard Tucker's song, \"\u003cem\u003eAre You Leaving For The Country\u003c\/em\u003e\", which \u003cstrong\u003eKaren Dalton\u003c\/strong\u003e covered on her seminal 1971 release, \u003cem\u003eIn My Own Time\u003c\/em\u003e. Richard and Karen were husband and wife for much of the 1960s, performing as a duo (initially as a trio with \u003cstrong\u003eTim Hardin\u003c\/strong\u003e), and navigating their time on the Village scene while alternating living in a small mining town outside Boulder, Co. before splitting up in 1967. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlso making its debut, is the only song Richard and Karen ever wrote together, the haunting \"\u003cem\u003eSleeping In The Garden\u003c\/em\u003e\".
