 What's on your list of Future Carpenters Purchases? The next few items I hope to purchase are: Live In Japan - on DVD or VHS - preferably on DVD. The Very First Carpenters Special - seen it on ebay. Music, Music, Music - the 1980 TV special - I've also seen this on ebay. Classics Volume 2 - this is the only U.S. released CD that I do not own.

Hi All,
I want to get so badly...THE ESSENTIAL COLLECTION, then the INTERPRETATIONS and REMEMBERING THE CARPENTERS DVDs. I also want to get the READER'S DIGEST 3 cd set of the Carpenters. What I love about compilations is the fact that the songs are usually in a different order...so when you expect one song that you are used to, another comes on totally unexpected, and you get to appreciate it more...
My thoughts,
Cameron

Rick! I'm not so sure about the
seller of Make Your Own Kind of
Music. 45rpm. When I was trying
to buy this item it was my first
time ecperience with Ebay. The
seller lives in Chilie and does
not exccept PayPal only wire tranfer or a money order which has
to go threw a third party in of
all places Orange CA. When I requested more info from the seller
it was always vague and he does
not have a bank account.
What about my T shirt discoverey!?
Am I the only one without one?

Hey Cam. The Readers Digest as
far as I can tell is out of print.
The Carpenters Anthology available
thru Amazon seems to be identical
to readers.

If the person from Chili(San Tiago, to be precise) calls himself Jorge, than he is trustable, but, he's taking a lot of time to send items. I had a lot of Carpenters items from this person(a gentle one) but, I have waited a long time get them. I love you Karen...  Roland C. |

Hi Roland. Thanks for the heads up
on Jorge. He is the person I was
refering to. I guess I miss interpeted his corispondence.Money
is a hard thing to part with when
your unsure of where its going.
I guess after my experience with
the Ebay Tshirt purchace I was a
little paranoid. I sent a check
overnight Fedex 20$ more than the
cost of the shirt! After two weeks
I tried to contact the seller to
see if she had received the check
and she never wrote back. Then I
discovered she had not been registered with Ebay since 12/04
I hope this new t shirt source
is legit. Like you said you can
never be sure if people on the
web are being honest.

Hi Dave, did you ask Richard about an official Carpenters store, on his site you can write to him, where it says contact us, I've already gotten some answers back from his personal secretary about some questions I had  coooooool  Richard really is a down to earth, nice man and I really believe that he is doing everything humanly possible, that Universal Records will allow, for His & Karens fans you know the more that I see of Richard, in recent years, the more I see his senisitive side, like the saying goes ' still waters runs deep', I kinda knew it but now I know it He is alright in my book thanx for letting me ramble again |

Hey Dave! I agree with you. I would
much rather buy a Richard authorized item verses a bootleg
or anything that is attempting to
buypass copyright laws, denying
the royalties that are deserved
by any artist. Remember everyone
in my life is a professional musician one of them has a record
label Decibel Recordings and another owns a recording studio
in Miami CW enterprises which
produces local radio jingles and
local musical acts one of which
is my partners solo album. I have
waited for Richard to make available clothing for fans for
years. Also if it were not for
bootleg recordings of Karens unreleased solo material which
are out of this world we would
never get to appreciate them not to
mention the TV specials. Richard
seems to have no interest in making
these rarities for release but you
never know. I can't imaginge how
much money Richard earns from world
wild royalties on a yearly bases.
You can bet its a big bunch of change.

As far as the videos go I'll buy them when I see them but I ain't holding my breath. My future purchase will be the SACD/DVD audio greatest hits package. In this format this great music will sound incredible and I cannot wait till it hits the shelves! As far as Richard mellowing with age I see some real progress but the jury is still out on that one. |

Hi Moe, I know how you feel, I know that if you try to get books you can find places that help find the books you want, and maybe used video, DVD, or used book stores have both of what you are looking for ebay can be real upsetting  I hope that might help when ebay fails |
