Carpenters Gold: Greatest Hits

Product Information

The tracks from As Time Goes By were remixed in the late 1990s/early 2000s and had not yet been released in the United States, while "Tryin' to Get the Feeling Again", from Interpretations, was originally recorded in 1975, but was left off Horizon due to the fact that it would have been too long. Karen did not appreciate the deep vocals of the original, and felt that she could do a better job for The Singles: 1969–1973. Carpenters Gold supremely captures how they were ‘live in concert’ and is a must for all fans of the fantastic Karen and Richard. This version is the single version, which Richard Carpenter claimed to have a guitar riff before each of the verses, whereas the version on Horizon had no guitar riff.

The albums 'A Song For You' and 'Yesterday Once More' along with 'Gold' have been on my system all over the weekend.

not only perfectly emulates Karen’s legendary rich contralto, she even gets behind the drums (pictured). Richard Carpenter, played by musical arranger vocalist Greg Stevenson, is also featured in theshow performing on the piano, alongside his sister enjoying on stage humour, often introducing the array of hits whilst light-heartedly engaging with his musicians. The covers of both releases have the same look as the 1992 Gold: Greatest Hits compilation album by ABBA.

We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.The original cover artwork had "Greatest Hits" in place of where "35th Anniversary Edition" is on the US cover. She undertakes the character of Karen superbly, paying meticulous attention to her mannerisms, 'brother – sister' relationship with Richard and the playful interaction with her band and audience.
