Import two CD collection from the Soft Pop duo. From their humble beginnings in the late '60s, Karen and Richard Carpenter were one of the most successful Pop duos in musical history. With Karen's absolutely perfect vocal delivery and Richard's creative arrangements, they were unstoppable. Even Karen's death in 1983 didn't stop their popularity from blossoming with each year. This two CD set brings together their hits, album tracks and more, and is the best Carpenters collection on the market! 35 glorious Pop nuggets that will melt the heart and uplift the soul including 'Close to You', 'Ticket to Ride', 'We've Only Just Begun', 'Superstar', 'Rainy Days And Mondays', 'Bless the Beasts And the Children', 'Hurting Each Other' and many more. UMTV. 2006.

Title: 3 Songs I've Never Heard Before - Not the "Ultimate" Collection - But Very Nice CD Overall.
Review: Excellent audio quality. With a quality audio system, your brain will be fooled into thinking that you are just feet away from Karen recording in the studio. 3 songs on the CD are very obscure (not hits) and the space could have been better used for 3 more of the Carpenters well known classics. (Me thinks someone got lazy?) Purchased this collection for prosperity and very glad I did! When I'm very old, I will find a young and vibrant singer and give her all my Carpenters CDs and ask her to keep the music alive.Richard, if you are reading this, please release remastered cuts such as "One More Time" and others that were released in that same time period.

Title: THE BEAUTIFUL KAREN LIVES ON FOR ETERNITY.....
Review: To review this cd collection is simple - short and sweet it has all the hits plus some added extras and the remastering is pure perfection. It seems that with every new collection that came out Richard tinkered with the orchestration, vocal intensity and the songs over time lost all their essence of beauty and power that was there when first recorded.These songs are all great due to the wonderful arrangements by Richard, the excellent song selection but foremost the rare vocal ability that Karen possessed. Her voice was always so pure with open, honest emotion and an ever constant tinge of melancholy/sadness. To change this in any way denies us of the gift that is Karen Carpenter. Her voice is one of the best of all times. Perfection cannot be enhanced as those other collections tried to do.These songs I can guarantee are the original versions remastered perfectly and it is very emotional to hear that voice come out so clear, so pure - the voice of an angel. These are the original songs in their original form as you remember them.All Carpenter fans - this cd will be a dream come true. Purchase it and Karen will live on for you forever.

Title: Case is not any good.
Review: The CDs are in new condition. The case is completely cracked and broken so it won't stay together.

Title: By far, the most perfect female voice-----EVER
Review: Karen Carpenter has never sung a song that she did not own....perfect pitch, perfect inflection, in every syllable. This compilation is indicative of her angelic presentation of music. The words in a lot of these songs tell you just how truly lonely she was. People do not wake up one morning and become anorexic..you are driven to this horrid disease by somehow believing that you are not perfect..my opinion does not matter, but with her perfect voice, it is impossible to believe that she, alone, put this kind of unending pressure on herself. A tragic waste of a lovely human being with yet untapped talent occurred when she passed from this place.As a rock and pop music historian of sorts, I miss her music very much.

Title: Sings me to Sleep
Review: Contains 35 hits of the Carpenters on two CDs. Some songs that are usually not on other CDs include: Bless the Beasts & the Children; Jambalya; Desperado; Sandy. One thing I really like about this set is that two of my top sad favorites are both near the end of Disc 2: Now; and "Where do I go from Here". I usually play Disc 2 on the cassette player on my nightstand and set it to 'repeat' so it plays all night long - and boy do I sleep good with that soothing voice of Karen Carpenter and those fabulous arrangements of Richard Carpenter.

Review: Purtroppo non avendo nessuna indicazione delle tracce comprese in questa collezione, mi sono ritrovato un prodotto del tutto simile a quella del 35mo anniversario, vale a dire un "brutto" remixaggio dei successi di questi due grandi fratelli. Lo restituirò in quanto ho già comprato l'altro cofanetto. Quindi lo sconsiglio a chi a già la collezione del 35mo, oppure a chi cerca i mix originali.
