Did they release any B-side only songs on any of their singles that are not available on the albums? Most groups do this, but I'm not too sure about Carpenters.

 As far as I know there weren't any previously unreleased b-sides.
Although, there were a few alternate recordings on b-sides.
The b-side of "Superstar" was the original soundtrack recording of "Bless The Beasts And Children" which was different from the recording which showed up on the album "A Song For You".
The b-side of "Yesterday Once More" was an edited version of "Road Ode".
The b-side of "Calling Occupants..." is a new rerecording of "Can't Smile Without You" - this is about as close as Carpenters come to a non-LP b-side.
For some reason Richard and/or A&M have always kept a tight hold on the excess unreleased material. It's been that way from day one. Most other groups have unreleased b-sides - but not Carpenters - I've always thought this was a shame.
