5.0 out of 5 stars Nostalgia for sure but timeless classics too!, 14 Sep 2008
The Carpenters are surely one of those romantic must haves in your record collection? If you want to buy a really good comprehensive collection of songs by the Carpenters on one CD, this one makes a bucket load of sense. Kind of hush, Interplanetary Craft, Solitaire, Yesterday once more,Close to you, Jambalaya and many more, they are all here. The Carpenters were always lovely to listen to, and won many fans at the time and later. The fact that they were so prolific too, was amazing. Most of the songs here were played to death and were often high up in the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. The fact that so many good ones are on here makes this album well worth buying.
Listening to them again brings back how amazing they were, and why we all loved them. Nostalgia for sure, but timeless classics too.

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest voice, 14 Feb 2009
By N. Chatham (dorset england) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Karen Carpenter has to be just about the greatest voice in my lifetime(I am 47). That coupled with her brother Richard's harmonies and musical prowess makes this a must have album for any old or indeed new fans of this group. All the well known easy listening catchy favourites are on here including the sublime "superstar" and the melodic "only yesterday".Also the very different "calling occupants". Think of a Carpenters single hit and you will find it on this album which is why it is rightly called the ultimate collection. I often wonder what Karen could have achieved had her life not been tragically cut short. Carpenter fans should buy this album, you won't be dissappointed.
