The Singles 1969-1973

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 ...

Yesterday Once More [1998]

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 ...

Richard Carpenter largely remained silent in the years following his sister Karen's death, releasing only one album in nearly 15 years. Ten years after the release of his solo debut, he returned with his second, the insturmental Pianist-Arranger-Composer-Conductor. The convoluted title may suggest that Carpenter is intent on restoring his ...

From 2000 to 2006 there were no less than fifteen greatest hits compilations issued for the Carpenters in various permutations.

People who complain that all reggae sounds the same are missing the point. It's supposed to sound the same, mining the idea that a good rhythm is worth ten good songs, at least in the dancehall, where familiarity (with micro alterations) breeds success. Reggae in this regard has much more in common with rap and hip-hop than it does rock or pop. ...
