Yesterday Once More: Greatest Hits 1969-1983 [Original recording remastered] [Import]

Amazon.com
Depending on where you stand, this double-disc set is either where too much becomes too much, or just right. While most of Karen Carpenter's best is available on the more economical Singles 1969-1973, fans aren't likely to turn up their noses at the post-'73 hits that round out Yesterday. "All You Get from Love Is a Love Song" is nearly as bitter as the eternal "Goodbye to Love," while "Only Yesterday" is the best of their happy songs. And something we've always wondered: whose idea was it for them to cover Klaatu's "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft"? --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

Super colection of hits.......2006-03-15

This package contains 27 songs! with a beautiful recording, full sound with the songs that made them very famous, and what a reason for it! The one song that goes ahead to my personal taste is "Calling Ocupants of Interplanetary Craft" which calls for a peaceful contact with advanced civilizations on space. They show how to contact them telepathically!. It excedes the original arrangement by Klaatu. Overall Great buy!

Their Blue Album.......2006-02-28

One of the best hit's packages ever put out was The Beatles collection, which contained many of their great songs, refer to as "The Blue Album", and was a double album set with 28 tracks and 2 hours of music.

This is the same idea, but with music of The Carpenters and it is also a great set. While fans will debate about some of the music missing on this 2 cd set, it contains most of their major hit's from the Billboard Hot 100 charts.

Carpenters in one true collection.......2005-03-13

The album consists of two CDs and 28 songs. The first CD is more diverse and to me there are all sorts of songs in it. The second CD consists of more tranquilizing or rather sad songs. I think the producer wanted to make a distinction between the first and second CD. I think the CDs cover almost every great song Carpenters performed. I would say this is the most compact yet complete collection of songs you find about Carpenters.

Also the jewel box is a folding one. From outside it looks like any other CD box and seems to be holding only one CD. But inside there is a folding plate with two CDs on its both sides. This saves space and helps you put it in you CD rack with all other CDs.

In one word if you want to listen to Carpenters in one album, maybe this is one of the best CDs.

Sing!.......2004-01-16

When you play this 2CD collection, make sure you "Sing" with Karen. Certainly, this is very enjoyable song collection that even the casual fan would want. "Solitaire" is mysteriously not here, but other than that, no complaints. Since the Carpenters have had "who knows how many hit collections of various titles" in their catalog, this is your best choice to buy especially if you decide not to buy their box set. This collection will save you from buying "The Singles:1969-1973". Listen and "Sing"!

Beautiful Music.......2003-11-08

I bought this CD 2 disk set back in 1990.. (before the remastering version came out).. I have most of the Carpenters albums on CD, from 1969 on. This is great and the song progression on this 2 disk set goes great This has most of their top 40 hits. I grew up in the 1970's and hearing the Carpenters on the radio was as common as watching Scooby Doo on Saturday morning. Anybody near my age (36), heard this music, and loves this music, whether they admit it or not!!! Karen could sing as well or better than any one of our time. Richard was great as well, and they were a duo and complemented each others talents. I wish that we could see their appearances on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, or the specials that they had. In the 1970's.. we didn't cherish them as we do now, because we took them for granted and thought they'd always be making albums.. But, thankfully we can still enjoy listening to them on recordings..
