 To be released on March 23, 2006 is the "Ultimate Collection". The "Ultimate Collection" is a three disc compilation which includes every single (in chronological order) released by Carpenters. It even includes "Goofus", though omits "Your Baby Doesn't Love You Anymore" which was released in early 1984. This collection also includes popular album tracks such as "Desperado" and "This Masquerade". The third disc includes tracks from both Karen's and Richard's solo albums.
It should be interesting to hear any possible new remixes. Hopefully there will be some excellent new liner notes and rare photos.
Carpenters are certainly selling big as each year there's a new compilation and it seems the compilations are getting bigger. Recently we had the double set "Gold: 35th Anniverasry Edition" and now a three disc compilation coming up.

Thank you for telling us, Rick. That's great. I am going to get this one. I have never heard of the single version of some of the songs.

 If anyone picks this up, I would be interested to know if they use the single version of Calling Occupants, versus the album cut that run 7+ minutes. Thanks

The three disc "Ultimate Collection" is now released. I am very tempted to purchase a copy today. The only thing holding me back is the fact that I've already recently bought all (or most) of these songs again on recent compilations. Some of these songs I already have on four or five discs. The album cover is a black background with a picture similar to the one used on "Lovelines" - it's an okay picture - but really not one of my favorites - it's too cheeky - makes Karen and Richard look more like husband and wife.
The collection does include an eleven page booklet and is package in a tri-fold digipak. So, there must be tons of pictures - and hopefully some interesting new liner notes. |

Finally this collection is officially released. It came on to the market on March 30th. Then it was taken off the market for some reason. it was given a new release date of April 18. But April 18 came to pass and still no release. Finally a release date of May 2 was given which this time the May 2 release date has been kept.
This is a three (3) disc set with almost every song Carpenters released as a single along with a few tracks from each of Karen and Richard's solo albums. I look forward to finally purchasing this. |
