1	Now That's What I Call Christmas! [Universal] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The Now series is known for crossing the boundaries of record labels in its attempt to provide definitive collections of hits -- usually from contemporary hits, but also of different eras and styles from the past (at least in its U.K. incarnation). Thankfully, the double-disc, 36-track collection Now That's What I Call Christmas! lives up to the ... see all copies from £8.67! new only from £11.70!
2	Christmas Collection (1998) more music like this by The Carpenters add to wishlist In 1998, A&M released the original Carpenters' albums for the first time on CD. Along with the reissues, the label released Christmas Collection, a double-disc that combines Christmas Portrait and An Old Fashioned Christmas on one set. Neither album offers any surprises -- they sound exactly like you'd imagine a Carpenters Christmas album would ... see all copies from £11.34! new only from £11.34!
3	The Ultimate Collection [2 CD] (2006) more music like this by The Carpenters add to wishlist see all copies from £15.47! new only from £15.47!
4	Gold (2005) more music like this by The Carpenters add to wishlist see all copies from £9.91! new only from £11.24!
5	Yesterday Once More [1998] (1998) more music like this by The Carpenters add to wishlist This double-CD set was probably too much of the Carpenters for the average fan, but just the same, it touches bases that The Singles misses, and it is rewarding. The 1998 remastering (catalog number 31454 1000-2) is doubly attractive, as a mid-priced item with 24-bit remastered sound and new notes by Paul Grein. The 28 songs, totaling more than ... see all copies from £2.46! new only from £9.28!
6	Now & Then (1973) more music like this by Carpenters add to wishlist see all copies from £3.09! new only from £6.60!
7	Christmas Portrait (1978) more music like this by Carpenters add to wishlist An essential album for your fireside Christmas, it sold a million in 1978 and contains the classics "Merry Christmas, Darling" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." ~ David A. Milberg, All Music Guide see all copies from £4.22! new only from £8.27!
8	As Time Goes By [Bonus Track] (2001) more music like this by The Carpenters add to wishlist As Time Goes By is a collection of songs taken from demos, live shows, and television performances recorded by the Carpenters between 1967 and 1980. In his liner notes, Richard Carpenter says this is a record for hardcore Carpenters fans only and he is right. The songs from the various TV specials the duo recorded are cute, mostly versions of ... see all copies from £5.56! new only from £9.24!
9	Singles 1969-1981 (2000) more music like this by The Carpenters add to wishlist see all copies from £6.81! new only from £8.38!
10	Close to You (1970) more music like this by Carpenters add to wishlist Hurriedly put together in the wake of the success of the title song, and containing the follow-up hit "We've Only Just Begun," Close to You is a surprisingly strong album, and not just for those hits. Richard Carpenter's originals "Maybe It's You" and "Crescent Noon" are superb showcases for Karen Carpenter's developing talent, the latter a ... see all copies from £2.04! new only from £6.60!
11	A Song for You (1972) more music like this by Carpenters add to wishlist The duo's best album, and the place to start beyond the hits compilations. Up to the release of A Song for You, the Carpenters' success had seemed an awesome if somewhat fluky phenomenon, built on prodigious talent, some beautifully crafted pop sensibilities, and a very fortunate choice of singles -- their albums Close to You and Carpenters, ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £6.60!
12	The Singles 1969-1973 (2000) more music like this by The Carpenters add to wishlist There's a certain inherent sadness listening to this concise 12-song collection of the Carpenters' early hits, especially as it opens with "We've Only Just Begun," with its hopeful, dreamy lyrics -- for it was never supposed to be definitive, just the first of at least two such collections. But changes in the public's taste and a slackening ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £9.90!
13	Love Songs (1997) more music like this by The Carpenters add to wishlist There may be too many Carpenters compilations on the market -- there are certainly enough to confuse the average neophyte -- but Love Songs is a welcome addition to the clutter, since it offers 20 of the duo's very best love songs, including "We've Only Just Begun" and "Top of the World." Anyone looking for a collection of the duo's romantic songs ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £3.11!
14	The Look of Love: The Burt Bacharach Collection (1998) more music like this by Burt Bacharach add to wishlist The Burt Bacharach revival was one of the most pleasing things about pop music in the late '90s, but it did produce an abundance of reissues, many of which seemed superfluous. So, it may be easy to dismiss Hip-O's Love Songs of Burt Bacharach as an unnecessary compilation, especially since it arrived in the summer of 1999, when the revival was ... see all copies from £9.60! new only from £19.80!
15	A Kind of Hush (1976) more music like this by Carpenters add to wishlist The formula behind the Carpenters' albums was starting to get fairly routine -- a hit single and an oldie or two (which sometimes was the single) surrounded by some well-produced soft pop/rock, driven by electric piano, strings, and a guitar solo or two cropping up. "There's a Kind of a Hush" and "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do" are the two most ... see all copies from £3.58!
16	Lovelines (1985) more music like this by The Carpenters add to wishlist Lovelines commemorated the duo's 20-year association with A&M Records, though Karen had passed away six years before. Ten of the 12 tracks were recorded for other albums but were not included for various reasons; two are remixes of previously released material. Richard penned the liner notes, which give some insight into the history of the pieces. ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £45.17!
17	Voice of the Heart (1983) more music like this by Carpenters add to wishlist Consisting of previously unreleased masters for a solo album by Karen, this album was compiled by Richard. ~ Bil Carpenter, All Music Guide see all copies from £8.05!
18	Gold: Greatest Hits (2000) more music like this by The Carpenters add to wishlist Usually the name Gold: Greatest Hits means "avoid this album." Many times small labels will buy the rights to some obscure songs by a big-name artist and then release it under that very title. But despite the name, this collection keeps the crap in the middle of the album, buried between the good stuff. In fact, this is a really good retrospective ... see all copies from £10.52! new only from £10.52!
19	The Ultimate Christmas Album, Vol. 2: WCBS FM 101.1 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from £9.91! new only from £9.91!
20	The Essential Collection (1965-1997) (2002) more music like this by The Carpenters add to wishlist The Carpenters' 2002 box set, The Essential Collection (1965-1997) is a revised version of their 1991 box set, From the Top. This time, Richard Carpenter has aimed more at a comprehensive treatment of the Carpenters' career, including all of their Top 40 hits (some with grudging remarks in the liner notes) in an expansion that adds 45 and a half ... see all copies from £41.46! new only from £41.46!
21	Classics, Vol. 2 (1987) more music like this by The Carpenters add to wishlist see all copies from £4.26! new only from £45.18!
22	Made in America (1981) more music like this by Carpenters add to wishlist The Carpenters' final album, Made in America, released after their two-year break from work, a period in which Karen Carpenter attempted a solo album and when Richard was incapacitated due to a drug problem, is very much a comeback effort, with a fair amount of energy on most of it, newly radiant arrangements ("The Wedding Song," etc.), one cute ... see all copies from £3.71! new only from £12.85!
23	Please Mr. Postman (2004) more music like this by Carpenters add to wishlist see all copies from £3.72! new only from £11.19!
24	Carpenters Perform Carpenter (2003) more music like this by The Carpenters add to wishlist Those who listened to the Carpenters during their heyday without paying attention to those names that appear in parenthesis after song titles might not be aware of a musical development that took place during the group's career. As time went on, Richard Carpenter became a more significant source of the Carpenters' songs as a writer. Richard was ... see all copies from £5.54! new only from £10.08!
25	20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection (2002) more music like this by The Carpenters add to wishlist It probably is not an oversight that the Carpenters entry in Universal Music Group's discount-priced compilation series 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection, unlike all the others, does not begin its title with the words "The Best of...." There have been plenty of Carpenters hits compilations, some of them still in print, and Richard ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £6.60!
