If I Were a Carpenter (album)

"If I Were A Carpenter" is a tribute album to The Carpenters released in 1994. It featured alternative rock bands covering the songs of Richard and Karen Carpenter. The cover featured a cartoon-like drawing of Richard and Karen against an orange background listening to an LP album. One of the most acclaimed songs on this album is Sonic Youth's rendition of "Superstar". This song, and the entire album, was featured in the 2007 film "Juno".

The album received a four-star review from "Rolling Stone". [Weisel, Al (1994) [http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/sonicyouth/albums/album/217169/review/6212289/if_i_were_a_carpenter "Various Artists: If I Were a Carpenter (review)"] , "Rolling Stone", RS693, October 1994]
