1	Singles 1969-1981 (2000) more music like this by The Carpenters Singles (1969-1981) expands the popular Singles (1969-1973) album with more of the group's later hits, such as "Please Mr. Postman," "Only Yesterday," "Touch Me When We're Dancing," and "I Won't Last a Day Without You." "(They Long to Be) Close to You," "We've Only Just Begun," "Superstar," and other '70s hits are still here, making this a ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $13.34!
2	Love Songs (1997) more music like this by The Carpenters There may be too many Carpenters compilations on the market -- there are certainly enough to confuse the average neophyte -- but Love Songs is a welcome addition to the clutter, since it offers 20 of the duo's very best love songs, including "We've Only Just Begun" and "Top of the World." Anyone looking for a collection of the duo's romantic songs ... see all copies from $8.72! new only from $8.72!
3	Close to You (1970) more music like this by The Carpenters Hurriedly put together in the wake of the success of the title song, and containing the follow-up hit "We've Only Just Begun," Close to You is a surprisingly strong album, and not just for those hits. Richard Carpenter's originals "Maybe It's You" and "Crescent Noon" are superb showcases for Karen Carpenter's developing talent, the latter a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.66!
4	The Singles 1969-1973 (1973) more music like this by The Carpenters There's a certain inherent sadness listening to this concise 12-song collection of the Carpenters' early hits, especially as it opens with "We've Only Just Begun," with its hopeful, dreamy lyrics -- for it was never supposed to be definitive, just the first of at least two such collections. But changes in the public's taste and a slackening ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $18.81!
5	Yesterday Once More [1998] (1998) more music like this by The Carpenters This double-CD set was probably too much of the Carpenters for the average fan, but just the same, it touches bases that The Singles misses, and it is rewarding. The 1998 remastering (catalog number 31454 1000-2) is doubly attractive, as a mid-priced item with 24-bit remastered sound and new notes by Paul Grein. The 28 songs, totaling more than ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $18.81!
6	I've Gotta Be Me/Summer of '42 (2005) more music like this by Peter Nero This two-fer from Collectables features a pair of out-of-print LPs by easy listening artist Peter Nero: I've Gotta Be Me and Summer of '42, originally issued in 1969 and 1970. These 26 remastered tracks find the pianist interpreting hits of the era including "Hey Jude," "(They Long to Be) Close to You," "Never My Love," "Make It with You" and "You ... see all copies from $11.66! new only from $11.66!
7	The Ultimate Collection (2005) more music like this by Richard Clayderman see all copies from $23.05! new only from $23.05!
8	Love Song Collection (2004) more music like this by Richard Clayderman see all copies from $18.05! new only from $18.05!
9	Papa Loves Mambo: The Very Best of Perry Como more music like this by Perry Como see all copies from $10.58! new only from $10.58!
10	The Best of the T.K. Years, 1975-1985 (2005) more music like this by Jimmy "Bo" Horne Released by the EMI-distributed Stateside in the U.K., The Best of the T.K. Years, 1975-1985 contains the same exact content as Westside's Gimme Some!, released seven years prior. Unless you're a serious crate-digger -- or a devout fan of KC & the Sunshine Band, whose Howard Casey and Rick Finch wrote most of the material heard here -- the disc ... see all copies from $15.28! new only from $15.28!
11 view cover	Ultimate Wedding Songs (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $15.58! new only from $15.58!
12 view cover	Colour Collection (2007) more music like this by Burt Bacharach see all copies from $10.10! new only from $10.10!
13 view cover	Sinatra & Company (1969) more music like this by Frank Sinatra In 1969, Frank Sinatra recorded a second album with Antonio Carlos Jobim. For unknown reasons, Reprise decided not to release Sinatra-Jobim, but seven of the ten songs intended for the record did appear on the first side of 1971's Sinatra & Company. The selections from Sinatra-Jobim have a decidedly different flavor than the material on Francis ... see all copies from $7.28!
14 view cover	Chronicles (2005) more music like this by The Carpenters To add to the myriad greatest-hits compilations, anthologies, and special showcases of the Carpenters' unique sound currently flooding the market, this three-CD long-box set may be misinterpreted as another greatest-hits showcase, but it is far from it. Chronicles is actually a repackaging of three landmark albums: Close to You, Carpenters, and A ... see all copies from $22.99! new only from $22.99!
15 view cover	Very Best of Richard Clayderman [Disky] (2003) more music like this by Richard Clayderman see all copies from $24.69! new only from $24.69!
16 view cover	The Carpenters Collection (1996) more music like this by Richard Clayderman see all copies from $6.00!
17 view cover	Another Little Piece of My Heart: The Love Songs (2006) more music like this by Dusty Springfield It's a well-proven fact that there are more Dusty Springfield greatest-hits compilations than there are proper releases. This time around, Another Little Piece of My Heart: The Love Songs is an 18-song sampler tracing the Brit-pop diva's softer, more romantic side. It's not a thorough greatest-hits disc by any stretch, but what is supplied here ... see all copies from $11.75! new only from $11.75!
18 view cover	Motown Salutes Bacharach (2002) more music like this by Various Artists It makes sense that this compilation inevitably had to happen. There are just so many renditions of legendary songwriter/arranger/composer/overlord Burt Bacharach's songs within the Motown catalog that someone at Universal (Motown's parent company) finally had the good sense to amass them for another volume in their long-running reissue series. It ... see all copies from $16.46! new only from $16.46!
19 view cover	We've Only Just Begun/Let's Spend the Night Together (2005) more music like this by Claudine Longet French pop singer Claudine Longet was never known for her strong vocals. A pretty face, Andy Williams' wife, and later a marksman of deadly skill, but never a great singer. These two albums serve as proof of that. We've Only Just Begun (1969) features Longet's fragile wisp of a voice trailing gently through some of the biggest soft pop hits of ... see all copies from $12.18! new only from $12.18!
20 view cover	What the World Needs Now: The Music of Burt Bacharach (1997) more music like this by McCoy Tyner see all copies from $19.59!
21 view cover	Precious (2001) more music like this by Cubic U see all copies from $19.95! new only from $63.66!
22 view cover	Plays Super Fly (1973) more music like this by Young-Holt Unlimited The final Young-Holt Unlimited album captures their seamless transition into a new era of Chicago soul heralded by Curtis Mayfield's landmark Superfly score. A skilled and deeply funky interpretation of the emerging blaxploitation sound that sacrifices none of the group's signature groove, Plays Super Fly is the rare cash-in record with integrity ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $12.00!
23 view cover	Gold: Greatest Hits [Deluxe Sound & Vision] [2003] (2003) more music like this by The Carpenters Usually the name Gold: Greatest Hits means "avoid this album." Many times small labels will buy the rights to some obscure songs by a big-name artist and then release it under that very title. But despite the name, this collection keeps the crap in the middle of the album, buried between the good stuff. In fact, this is a really good retrospective ... see all copies from $36.11! new only from $36.11!
24 view cover	36 Favourite Piano Ballads (2005) more music like this by Richard Clayderman see all copies from $16.61! new only from $16.61!
25 view cover	Play the Carpenters/The Jim Croce Songbook (1995) more music like this by The Ventures See for Miles reissued two albums the Ventures released in the mid-'70s, Play the Carpenters and The Jim Croce Songbook, on a single disc in 1995. Both of the records find the Ventures turning in mellow, easy listening soft rock albums. The Ventures' instrumentation is a little too spare to make these records sound as lush as they should, but both ... see all copies from $25.05! new only from $25.05!
