::) HI TO YOU ALL! I HAVE JUST BOUGHT THE CARPENTERS 'THE CARPENTERS' CD. I PURCHASED IT FROM EBAY AS BEING THE REMASTERED VERSION BUT TO MY DISMAY I FEEL I HAVE BEEN 'DIDDLED'. I HAVE FIVE OF THE REMASTERED ALBUMS, ALL OF WHICH CONTAIN BLACK CD'S WITH CARPENTERS IN REDON THEM; THE ONR I RECEIVED IS JUST A REGULAR SILVER CD. THE CAT NO. IS CDMID145 BUT ON THE INLAY CARD IT ALSO SAYS INT'L 393 502-2. I HAVE CHECKED AMAZON AND I THINK THIS VERSION COULD HAVE BEEN RELEASED IN 2003 ON MIDPRICE BUT THERE IS NO MENTION OF ANY REMASTERING. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY DETAILS? I WOULD BE SO GRATEFUL. MALFIE XX   8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) :( |

 Hi Malfie... welcome to the Carpenters Online... 
If you want the remastered edition the best way to get is to buy a brand new copy from Amazon.com or CDUniverse. When you buy from Amazon.com you need to make sure that it's not a brand new copy from a vendor but a brand new copy from Amazon.com itself. Below is a link to the CD on Amazon.com. You want to click on the line that says "Buy new: $12.98". That will be the actual remastered edition. If you buy used you just never know what you will get.
If you have any other further questions or need help please let me know. You can email me at kandronline@yahoo.com

Yes, I agree with Rick, that to buy something new from Amazon or the other places he mentioned, is probably best, but you never know I have bought music from e-bay, as well as other items in the past, and had good products. Anyway, hope you can still enjoy that album. My fave on that I guess must be For All We Know, because it's just about my favorite of the C's of all time. hope to hear more from you... smoothie |

Hello to you Smoothie,
Thank you for your reply.I also love 'For all we know', but I think my favourite from the VERY excellent album is 'Hideaway' and 'Sometimes'.
Just finished work for the day and put on the cd and sang all the way through! Everytime I hear Karen sing I always feel sad;I can't help it, she touches me every time.Isn't it amazing what good music can do?
I have been a fan of theirs since I was a kid as my mum had six or seven of their LP's and we used to play them,together with Barbra Streisand LP's,constantly.I then bought the LP sized CD box set, but realized that I don't play them that often as it's an effort opening the box(carefully) without creasing,ripping or getting marks on the white cardboard...!
I have now finally got around to buying the remastered versions.I have six at last count and the last two I shall buy are Passage and Made in America which I have to confess I don't really like(must give them another try).
Anyway, Take care of yourself.
Malfie

???hey again...yes, I was about 11or 13 when I got really hooked on the C's, Rainy Days and Mon. stands out as one their very first songs I heard on the radio. I have all the C's vinyl records except for maybe the last 2. I have most of their Cd s Along with the sheer pleasure and warmth I get out of their music, it's impossible not to get sad also, because Karen was such a tremendous loss to the music world, and just for the woman she was, kind, fun to be around I suspect, her beauty and outgoing personality.  |
