Carpenters
Their Greatest Hits And Finest Performances
Compil. US 1997 on Reader's Digest label
Rock and Pop (Ballad, Soft Rock, Vocal)
Made in U.S.A. Printed in the United States of America. Large jewel box with small 32 page booklet that includes liner notes and an October 30th 1978 interview with Richard and Karen Carpenter. The live Bacharach/Hal David medley was first released on the Japanese 'Anthology' set, and made its US debut here. The Oldies Medley is taken from 'Now & Then'. "Da Doo Ron Ron" is omited, however every track is remixed and missing the DJ and sound effects. From the Liner Notes regarding the 1974 live track 2-16:- "The 14 1/2-minute Burt Bacharach/Hal David medley contained in this set is a previously unreleased sampling of those "live" recordings. In 1977, Richard added the mixing background vocals and kick, and Joe Osborn played the bass part. What remains that is "live" consists of drums (sans kick), the orchestra and, most importantly, Karen's lead."
