| Carpenters 'The Ultimate Collection' UMTV announced the November 20th 2006 double-disc album release of Carpenters 'The Ultimate Collection': the definitive collected works from one of the most enduring and influential acts ever, compiled and mastered by Richard Carpenter. Remembered not just as musicians but as cultural icons, Richard and Karen Carpenter created beautifully crafted, hugely successful hit records combining clean-cut arrangements complemented by a voice of pure gold. Standards such as the evanescent 'Close To You' and 'We've Only Just Begun' have etched a permanent place for the Carpenters in pop music's history. As a group, they brought a wholesome sweetness to the music scene of the 1970's, a shining light in a decade where music was strongly influenced by the raw realities of the day. The Carpenters celebrated the ups and downs of romance. From the jubilant 'Top Of The World', to the melancholy 'Rainy Days And Mondays', this two disc album presents 35 essential tracks to inspire, entertain and to appreciate all over again. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
