I was at www.cduniverse.com and they are pre selling a new disc of the Carpenters. There is no picture and the tracks are not listed, but it is to be released on Feb 10 and might have a DVD included. Anyone have any information about this? |

This upcoming release is titled "Gold: 35th Anniversary", it looks like it will probably be a repackaging of the current release titled "Gold".
Although there have been many Carpenters compilations released I'm always happy to see a new one released because that only means people still care about the Carpenters.
CHEERS to the Carpenters!

INDEED!...and now with new technology things are being remastered and even other things happening making the Carps sound even more like they are right in front of you...and that's neat too.

Oh, no !! Not another Carpenters compilation!! I know what you mean in that I would never own all at the same time either ... too much repetition. But, they sell or they wouldn't continue to be released, and I'm glad additional compilations are released for numerous reasons. I know personally, over the past 30 years, I've lost a combination of vinly, CD, and cassette versions of various Carpenter recordings. With the availability of so many compilations, you can change the mix of recordings in your collection if you choose to do so or need to for whatever reason. And that's exactly what I've done. For example, can't tell you how many CDs or cassettes I've left in rental cars and ususally I want to replace what I've lost! For many years in the 70s, The Singles was my Bible, and I would give anything to have my original vinyl copy. But no longer own it and won't since the original studio albums with their respective hits now contain those hits with their remixed version, and I'd prefer to have the original studio album that contains the cuts and hits that originally appeared together. Also, I like that it keeps their name alive in the recording industry as well as broadcasting. I know radio stations purchase these different offerings as I've heard different releases, different mixes, etc., played on various stations I've heard around the country. Radio stations can be refreshed with these new releases, playing cuts off of them, and possibly bringing new generations of Carpenter fans into the fold. I'm amazed at the number of second generation Carpenters fans there are out there. But guess I shouldn't be given how timeless their music is. |

Did you never unload this medley(in the glory days of Audiogalaxy)?.
It's wonderful! (I always liked the Andy Williams voice).
The medley only consist of snippets of two songs performed alternatively: "Ticket to Ride"(Andy and Karen) and "I'll Never Fall in Love Again"(only Karen).
Yes!. R&K were in the Andy Williams Special TV show in 2/13/71(according with the Decade booklet released by the old Carpenters fan club).

Love Andy and wish I could’ve seen this. As on another post I stated that I saw John Denver with the Houston Symphony, I also saw Andy Williams perform with same only a couple of years ago. I was determined to make it as he’s getting up in years. He still sounds good, but not like he did. I would love to hear the Ticket to Ride duet in its entirety. What a great choice of song for them to sing together. The only pop group I ever remember appearing on Andy Williams was Bread ... they sang Make It With You. |

Well in record shop the other day and saw a Gold CD/DVD box set and included was the Christmas Portrait album. Very nice packaging but as already have all these seemed silly to buy it. No publicity about it, but it would of made a nice Christmas present for a new fan. Although nice release was hoping for something new  Jeff |

CARPENTERS GOLD – 35th Anniversary Edition cover and article www.musicremedy.com/articles/index....d=451/index.cfm....The package also includes a reminiscence by Richard, who produced the compilation, as well as his recollections about each recording. Featured are three selections previously unreleased in the U.S.: the 1999 completions of “Leave Yesterday Behind,” a 1978 recording; their 1980 version of “The Rainbow Connection” that fans have clamored to be released for years, and “California Dreamin’,” a 1967 recording starring a 17-year-old Karen. ....Today, more than 20 years after their last recording, more than 20 years after Karen’s death, and now 35 years after Carpenters were first heard on record, Richard writes, “One can only imagine the music that could have been made had Karen lived; I really feel that the best was yet to come. At least we have these recordings, and many others, as quite a legacy.” Tracklisting 1 Superstar 2 Rainy Days And Mondays 3 Top Of The World 4 Maybe It's You 5 Let Me Be The One 6 Reason To Believe 7 Jambalaya (On The Bayou) 8 Leave Yesterday Behind 9 Your Baby Doesn't Love You Anymore 10 Bless The Beasts And Children 11 It's Going To Take Some Time 12 The Rainbow Connection 13 Only Yesterday 14 Sweet, Sweet Smile 15 There's A Kind Of Hush (All Over The World) 16 California Dreamin' 17 Solitaire 18 We've Only Just Begun 19 This Masquerade 20 Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft (The Recognized Anthem Of World Contact Day) DISC 2 1 Yesterday Once More 2 Please Mr. Postman 3 Hurting Each Other 4 I Need To Be In Love 5 Merry Christmas Darling 6 (They Long To Be) Close To You 7 All You Get From Love Is A Love Song 8 Sing 9 Make Believe It's Your First Time 10 Ticket To Ride 11 Goodbye To Love 12 I Just Fall In Love Again 13 I Believe You 14 Tryin' To Get The Feeling Again 15 For All We Know 16 Touch Me When We're Dancing 17 I Won't Last A Day Without You 18 Mr. Guder 19 A Song For You 20 Karen's Theme www.musicremedy.com/articles/index....d=451/index.cfm |
