Music Review: Carperters Singles 1969-1981

 This composite CD was released in 2000, after Karen arpenter had passed away.  It was released by Universal Music Company.  It peaked at number 45 in the Unitd States for record albums and was recognized as a Gold Album.  

The Carpenter sound is timeless as this shows.  Karen Carpenter's voice is a treasure, and this album helps to preserve that treasure.  I particularly like, We've Only Just Begun, Rainy Days and Mondays, Top of the World, Ticket to Ride (a cover of a Beatles song), Hurting Each Other, Yesterday Once More, Sing, I Won't Last a Day Without You and For All We Know.  I hear those songs go through my head with just hearing the title.  

But the songs are not just the vocals.  The instrumentation is also very good.
