There is a reason why this cd is repeatedly chosen as the favorite of Carpenters fans worldwide...of the 12 songs on it (13 is a reprise), SIX became US Top20 singles..Top of the World, Hurting each Other, Goodbye to Love, Its Going to Take Some Time, Bless the Beasts and the Children and I Won't Last a day without You...AND YET, I believe if my personal Favorite, A Song for You had been released as a single, IT would have gone GOLD. To listen to Karen sing "And when my life is over, remember when we were together, we were alone and I was singing this song for you..." it's hauntingly beautiful! This CD is PACKED full of classic hits! Even those that weren't singles are wonderful, Crystal Lullabye and Road Ode...EXCELLENT.

I should have bought this CD 20 years ago. I bought it recently and paid a higher price, but I am glad that I made this decision. I think this CD must be one of the best sound quality CDs I've ever had.

One of the the two most consistent albums the Carpenters ever recorded in terms of musical content. The other one being the third album "Carpenters." This is a must-have album not only for Carpenters' fans but to all music lovers alike.

The first seven cuts reveal why The Carpenters, despite their un-trendiness, were so successful. Not only is her voice and presentation understated and warm, but his production and musicianship is also nearly perfect. In addition, the songs are just outstanding songs for any era. Perhaps the two best cuts are the title track and Bless the Beasts and the Children. It's Going To Take Some Time and Road Ode are also very notable. A classic recording; no home should be without.

Few artists can have 6 or 7 top 20 in one album. The Carpenters defined what pop music is. They were the REAL gem of the 70's....No one can ever surpassed this duo's greatness

i bought this disc when it was first released. it is neat to see the gold disc and the way the disc is showcased. the dics lifts up when you open the case. pretty cool. it sounds good the hear the org. recording on this compleation. i hope richard realeases others like this one.
