In a 2022 interview with Goldmine Magazine, her brother, Richard Carpenter, revealed that his sister wasn't happy with her vocals on two songs on the band's 1969 debut LP, Offering. Offering was eventually repackaged and re-released in 1970 with a new cover and title, Ticket to Ride, after their Beatles' cover of the same name.
"There are two that, had she lived, we were going to redo because she was only 19 when we did our first album, and I was 22. In the next two to three years that followed, our voices changed in that they weren’t as husky as they were originally," he explained.
"That’s why she wanted to redo the lead on 'Merry Christmas, Darling' and 'Ticket to Ride,' the remix from ’73, because she wasn’t all that wild about how husky her voice was. So there were two that happened to be Bettis/Carpenter songs, and one that she wanted to redo."
Carpenter added that if he had the opportunity to spend more time with his sister, he would heap praise on her for her vocal abilities. They would also record one last song together.
Karen Carpenter died on February 4, 1983. She was 32.
