Disco de Carpenters: “Classics, Vol.2”

I am amazed that this particular title is still in print. The CLASSICS VOL. 2 collection was part of A&M Records' 25th Anniversary celebration and just months before, Richard had released the YESTERDAY ONCE MORE 2-disc set. Seeing no need to reformulate yet another set for the celebration, Richard & A&M simply re-titled and repackaged the YESTERDAY ONCE MORE set under this new title.

Since then YESTERDAY ONCE MORE, which featured remixes of the classic tunes, has been re-mastered and re-issued again with an additional tune and slightly different order. As a result, you can get this same package in a better format for about the same money.

As I said, although in its day this was a great package, you can do better. I'm amazed that it's still out there.

No matter how many Streisands and Dions we get, there has never been a voice or a way of interpreting a song like Karen Carpenter. Last, but defintely not least, is Richard's wonderful arrangements and musicality. This duo was the best of all time, in my opinion. Sadly missed. I wish that Richard would grace us with more music.

It's a nice c.d. which I enjoyed playing. Karen's voice is pure and innocent.

If you like the smooth sounds of karen carpenter.you wil love this cd. All the great hits and extras in 2 increadible cds.will not disapoint.

The Carpenters have always been a favorite of mine. I wish I could design my owm album, to get all the

songs I like. But I will say this has alot of good music.
