Hi ya

[carpentersuk]

Does anyone know anything about the new cd coming out in nov16 . 40 40 its called. Have seen it advertised but what I really want to know is there seems to be 2 covers to it?? is it because the USA copy is different to the UK version or is it just me goin nuts. What ever I love both versions. Take care

Hi carpentersuk... welcome to the forum.

There is absolutely no difference between the two. The only difference is they renamed the collection from 40/40 Best Selection to simply 40/40.

Thanks for that bit of info. Its just on some of the websites im seeing the album cover in blue with silver lettering & the others im seeing the inner sleeve of the brill Horizon LP as the cover jacket. I cant decidde which version i like the best as the picture one is and always has been my fave picture of R & K but i have always liked a NON pic jacket cover like A S 4 U & Carpenters & 69 -73 tho the "Tan"lp over here in the UK had the poto pic on the outside in a cheap old jacket where in the USA it had that brilliant Photo envelope style which i hunted high and low to get for years. So looking 4ward to the Tv show over here on wednesday night. Lets hope it generates some more Chart action. Take care. Stuart

Hi Stuart...

I'm not sure why the cover was changed. The blue non-picture cover is nice, but I much prefer the cover with the "Horizon" pic on it... that is also one of my favorite pics.

Please come back on Thursday and gives us a report on the televison tribute show. I'm sure it will be a good one and it most likely will generate sales of the entire Carpenters catalog... I wish the U.S. would jump on the bandwagon and do a television tribute to Carpenters... that would be great!
