A must for fans.....

Only Richard Carpenter could turn this collection of varied previously unreleased songs, demos, and outtakes into some sort of beautiful whole which he manages not only to do, but to do very well. It brings joy and sadness at the same time, joy in the wonderful, timeless sound that is the Carpenters, and sadness, still, all these many years later, at the loss of the great talent that was Karen Carpenter. Thank you Richard, for being the custodian of the Carpenters music and for doing it with so much respect to Karen's memory.

A Rip-Off

I am as big a Carpenters Fan as there is, but this is a rip-off.
3 musical works for over $17.00? WOW! I can not recommend this Cd, but I can really recommend "As Time Goes By"....Same 3 selections and much much MORE!!!!

Best Carpenters Single

This CD single is the best Carpenters Single in quite sometime. Karen sings "Leave Yesterday behind" as if she is singing before you at the dinner table. I am grateful for Amazon.com for making this Japanese only import single available to me. I find the Carpenters music very theraputic given all the health problems I have. This single is highly recommended and well worth the price! I can't wait until I get the album!
