Singles 1969-1973 by Carpenters (The) (CD, Dec-1983, Pop-u.s.)

This seller goes over and beyond what a seller is required. Pleasure to do business with. Will definitely be back to buy again!

Top of the World is my favovite song sung by Karen Carpenter. This is why I bought the CD to replace my old LP record of same title. Price was right.

All the best and greatest hits of the Carpenters. Not only did this brother and sister team turn out fantastic songs all arranged and orchestrated by Richard Carpenter, the songs were composed by some of the greatest composers of the time including Burt Bacharach, Paul Williams, Lennon-McCartney, Carole King, not to mention Richard Carpenter himself. Who can forget Goodbye to Love or Yesterday Once More? The arrangements with delicate piano and swelling strings blended with Karen's multi-recorded angle voice is a treasure. What a tragedy to lose Karen, one wonders what beautiful songs we'll never hear due to her untimely death. If there was only one CD I could have, this is the one I'd choose! I play it every day and it doesn't wear out with repeated plays. If only there were more!

Whether you were born in 1920 or 1990, you have heard of the Carpenters. Karen and Richard Carpenter are the most entertaining musical brother and sister combo. The smooth vocals of Karen with the arrangements of Richard make for some of the best easy listening songs in memory. When someone else covers your songs, you have made it in the music world and so many artists have covered the songs of this duo. This cd is their greatest single hits of their career. If you ask the younger generation about the Carpenters, they may know Karen and her public fight with anerexia. But if you were born before 1980, you enjoyed some of the finest pop songs of all time. This cd is a necessary addition to any baby boomer's cd collection. Since it is that time of year too, look for their Christmas album "Christmas Portrait" by the Carpenters.

VERY good condition CD. Wonderful communication. Packed well. Right price. Fast shipment. Many thanks.

I always love the Carpenters...I just love this cd it has my top 10 songs from this singing group...

I bought this CD with one intention. To relax as your day winds down. Smooth and exhilarating voice of Karen carpenter. Each selection on this CD are her best. Simply relaxing.

I always loved The Carpenters, and Karen dying so young was a terrible thing. But, she had a beautiful voice. I used to have all their record albums. But, now I don't have anything to play them on, so I shop Ebay for their CD's. Its great to find an item like this on Ebay, but its even greater when I find in my mail box & pop it into the CD player. Not a skip or scratch on them!

I love this selection of Carpenters songs. I had the vinyl record years ago but haven't had a record player in many years. It's great to be able to listen to these songs while I'm driving in my car. CDs last so much longer than records and don't lose their sound quality because of needle scratching.

Every song on the album is a hit in & of itself-when there was still areas left to explore in music. Bonnie Carpenter had an angelic voice. Also, most don't know that the song "ticket to ride" was written by John Lennon & Paul Mccartney. Most of the Carpenter's music was written & performed over a decade before I was born, this is still one of my favorite albums from beginning to end.
