Gold: 35th Anniversary Edition by Carpenters (The) (CD, Oct-2005, 2 Discs, A&M Records USA)

This album is a 2-CD set with 40 songs, including several which are not available on any other album. Karen Carpenters sultry lows and clear high notes make "Rainbow Connection" (from _The Muppet Movie_) a real moving number. I can hardly listen to any of the 40 songs on these disks without some deep inner feelings being brought out. Every charted song is here. If you love the Carpenters like I do, get this album!

This CD has many of the Carpenters greatest hits and is well put together musically. However, I was not really impressed with the copy on the CD jacket which was written by Richard Carpenter-he needs to stick with music. All in all I would recommend this set for anyone who loves the Carpenters.

FRIENDS AND FAMILY ARE ALL CARPENTERS FANS AND ALL THEIR BEST SONGS ARE IN THIS CD. IT'S THE SOOTHING EFFECT THAT ONE GETS FROM LISTENING TO THE CARPENTERS THAT WE BELIEVE MAKES THEM THE BEST DUO EVER.

It is one of the best compilings of Carpenter music. Just the right amount of old failure tunes with some rarely heard added to the CD. Easy listening; memory refreshing of days gone by.

I LOVE THE DC. IT'S WONDERFUL.I LOVE TO HEAR THE CARPENTERS SING. I LISTEN TO IT EVERY DAY.I HAVE TO SAY THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST CDS I HAVE BOUGHT FROM EBAY.IT WAS ALITTLE SLOW GETTING TO ME,BUT IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT.EBAY IS A GREAT PLACE TO SHOP!!

No fillers, all hits.
That says it all and I don't need or want to write a review with 100 characters. This is the reason very few people do not take the time to leave a review.

I love the Carpenters music and had previously owned this same CD but it rec'd a scratch so I purchased another one. They have great music and I love to listen to it when I need some soothing time for myself.

A great blast from the past...I grew up listening to the easy sounds of the Carpenters. This CD set has all of their most popular hits and I think I got it for a steal!

It's great fun re-living memories of the 70's...instead of the crummy AM radio in our old Ford station wagon I can now enjoy a 6-CD player in my Lincoln!

I grew up with the Carpenters. Their music is so beautiful. I have wanted a good album which includes many of their favorite hits. I found this album and all the hits I remember are in it. I listen to the music and expose my children to their music and hope to give my children the varied interest in music that I have. This is an awsome CD, well worth the money I payed. Will enjoy for years to come !!

I've been wanting a CD by the Carpenters ever since I was a kid. I bought one in the music store without realizing that it was a Tribute to The Carpenters cd. So when I saw this one online, I made sure it was what I wanted. Now that i've purchased it. My daughter loves listening to it too. We both enjoy it very much. So glad we were able to purchase it.

I have been playing my new CD everyday since I received it. The CD is great wonderful selections. I am very pleased

i love the carpenters! everything about the carpenters is great. the music is timeless, her voice is amazing. they sound as good now as they did when the music was originally made. all the big songs are on this cd. its awesome!!!

I remember this fine brother sister duo from my teenage years, but I never appreciated the music and words of the song untill I was older.I have three children that try to turn me on to their music of today and I tell them of the true music of the 70's .Along with this CD of The Carpenters greatest hits and others that I have found on ebay,I have turned them onto my music and made them fans of this group .It's pure music , pure vocals and pure subjects that the songs are written about( you don't have to worry about ratings or indecent material ).Sweet entertainment that gives a soul a joyful feeling,this world could definitly use more of this .

Fun album for those who like the Carpenters. Very nice t listen to her voice again. Used it the first time on an extended drive and it made the drive more pleasant.

I love the music of the Carpenters and this had all the songs I wanted on it.It's hard to find a cd like that in stores.I bought it because the price was right and the songs were great.

I wanted this music on a CD and took the opportunity to purchase it when it was available. I enjoy this music and hope this has filled the requirement for at least one hundred characters. Thank you!

This CD has most of the songs that I like from the Carpenters. There are a few that I don't like. I could'nt find this CD in my hometown.

I bought The Carpenters CD. because they were my one of my favourite artists of the 70s era. It arrived in good time well packed and in pristine condition.
I have played it several times and enjoy it each time as much as the first.
The songs brought back so many memories of my post teenage years...also the clear diction of Karen's voice and Richard's piano playing has always stayed with me. There are few artists now who have their "MAGIC" It still lives on....

The CD arrived PERFECT.... It was super fast shipping a very easy transaction.
Would not hesitae to use this part of EBAY again...
