Carpenters - The Singles 1969-1973 (1973) [Japan (mini LP) Platinum SHM-CD, 2014] Music

Posted by Andi_Deris at Aug. 21, 2015

This was the first compilation of Carpenters material, occurring during the duo’s career and released during a period of intense concert-performing rather than producing a new studio album. In spite of that, this 1973 album presented fans with new ways to hear the old songs, starting with an uncredited overture before the first song, and including a re-recorded version of their first hit along with segues to link several more songs. The result was a very listenable album rather than just a collection of tracks.
