Does it get any better than this? |
67 tracks and just about all your favourites are there ... and then some. This is a fantastic collection starting out with Karen's giggle on the opener "Caravan", going through the early Karen singles (which are fabulous) to the cringe-making interview with Sam Riddle (was he for real?), past the "Yesterday Once More" melody, via a couple of jingles and finishing with a couple of tracks from Karen's solo album to the poignant "Now". Wonderful arrangements, intrumentally brilliant and with perhaps the greatest voice of the popular music era. The Carpenters were always my favourite band and probably will be till the day I die (and hopefully meet up with Karen in a better place - if it exists). Al Carpenters fans should go and buy this, even if they have everything else. Sensational - and, to answer my own question - no, it doesn't get any better than this. |
