This classic tune is notable among Carpenters hits for the fuzz electric guitar that takes over after the verses... definitely stretching the bounds of what it means to be "Soft Rock." This earns "Goodbye To Love" our top recommendation of 2 stars, meaning that in our opinion it's a single that's essential to a basic collection of 45 records in that song's genre. Note: This beautiful copy has Near Mint labels with a small numbered sticker on the A side. The vinyl (styrene) grades very close to Mint in appearance, and the audio sounds almost Mint as well. The picture sleeve is bright and shiney without ringwear.
