The Carpenters are surely one of those romantic must haves in your record collection? If you want to buy a really good comprehensive collection of songs by the Carpenters on one CD, this one makes a bucket load of sense. Kind of hush, Interplanetary Craft, Solitaire, Yesterday once more,Close to you, Jambalaya and many more, they are all here. The Carpenters were always lovely to listen to, and won many fans at the time and later. The fact that they were so prolific too, was amazing. Most of the songs here were played to death and were often high up in the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. The fact that so many good ones are on here makes this album well worth buying. Listening to them again brings back how amazing they were, and why we ... Read More:

3.Love Songs by: The Carpenters June 01, 1998

This collection of the Carpenters' love songs is excellent for anyone who loves any type of music. Possibly the only band who can count both Sonic Youth and members of Steps as their fans, their perfomances on every song are second to none. The more upbeat songs, such as "Close To You" and "Top Of The World" are pleasant enough, but in my opinion, it is on the more angst-ridden songs where they excell. Like it says in "All You Get From Love Is A love Song", 'the best love songs are written with a broken heart'. "Rainy Days and Mondays", "Superstar" and "This Masquerade" are all perfect, and my personal favourite, "A Song For You", is the ultimate song that sums up all of the emotions which love encompasses. The Carpenters manage to do melancholy ... Read More:

5.The Calling by: Mary Chapin Carpenter August 18, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £6.53
Ms Chapin Carpenter's music is an elusive and deceptive creature. On the face of it she has always been a singer/songwriter whose album releases have an enduring, predictable and reassuring quality. Somehow one always seems to come along just when you need it. So here we have her ninth offering (not counting the 'Party Doll' and 'Essential' compilations) and the word 'Essential' does indeed have meaning here. Her warm, tonally sound, rock-solid mezzo and guitar carry these thirteen fine songs with good grace, refinement and consistantly convincing understatement. Matt Rollings production and keyboards, Dean Parks and John Jennings guitars, Glenn Worf's bass and Russell ... Read More:

'Now and Then' was without a doubt one of the peaks of the Carpenters' career. 'Yesterday Once More' is probably one of their most popular and enduring tunes, but there are plenty of lesser-known gems. 'This Masquerade' is simply sublime, one of the best things the Carpenters ever did. Randy Edelman's 'I Can't Make Music' is both melancholic and gorgeous, while the arrangement of 'Heather' is lush and moving. Most of what's left is covers of oldies lifted up several notches by those wonderful Karen Carpenter vocals. Great stuff. So why not 5 stars? Well, much as I love the Carpenters, I've never quite been able to forgive them for the sickly, cloying horror of 'Sing'. I know other reviewers view it with affection, but for me it's an embarrassment in a back ... Read More:

For all the people in the beginning that said that the Carpenters were no good, this album said a huge "WE ARE BRILLIANT MUSICIANS" with lights around it. From start to finish, no tracks are repetitive, headache-inducing or elevator background music. The Carpenters were (and still are) the best in easy listening/AOR. This album is usually listed in books of "must own albums" and is for countless good reasons. This album is everything that most popular music lacks nowadays. 10/10

As a Carpenters fan it has taken me far too long to buy this album but I can say that it's worth the wait. It's been put together by Richard Carpenter and illustrates again his perfection and desire to keep his Sisters memory alive. Lots of highlights. For me the two 'work lead' tracks 'Leave yesterday behind' (another Carpenters track with the word 'yesterday' in the title) and 'The Rainbow Connection' are the highlights. I've never heard Kermit the frog singing the latter so had no preconceptions and to me sounded just like a brand new Carpenters track with the distictive voice and sound production. If these are 'work leads' then they're pretty damn fine. There are a couple ... Read More:

10.Carpenters Gold: Greatest Hits by: Carpenters August 23, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.87
I have absolutely no shame in admitting to liking this album even though I am a veteran of Mott The Hople, Bowie, The Clash and The Ramones gigs among others. While Abba crossed the line and became "cool", The Carpenters never did. Shame. Karen Carpenter's voice is peerless and Richard is a songwriter every bit as worthy of credit as Bacharach. "Yesterday Once More" sparkles as an opening track, and "Goodbye To Love" just does it. Every time. I challenge anyone to listen to THAT guitar solo and not get something out of it. "Close To You" and "Superstar", along with "Rainy Days And Mondays"....... oh the list is endless. They're all great. Of course, I almost forgot, the album ends with one of the most ludicrous and incongruous singles any group ... Read More:
