Ticket to Ride is the first album by the American music duo The Carpenters. At the time of its release in 1969 under the name Offering, it was a commercial failure and produced only one minor hit single - "Ticket to Ride", a ballad version of a song made famous by The Beatles. After the Carpenters' breakthrough however, the album was re-issued internationally under the name Ticket to Ride and sold moderately. The CD in the "Remastered Classics" series went out of print in March 2007.[1] However, in Japan, the "Pack Series" released the "Ticket to Ride" and "Close to You" CDs together.
