The Carpenters’ ‘Collected’ album presents a wonderful compilation from the immensely popular soft-pop duo. From their humble beginnings in the late 1960s to the present day, siblings Karen and Richard Carpenter have been one of the most successful duos in music history. With Karen’s absolutely flawless vocals and Richard’s creative arrangements, they are unstoppable.

This 2LP set brings together their hits, album tracks and more. It offers the finest selection of easy-listening songs in a nutshell. The Carpenters’ delightful pop gems will melt your heart and lift your spirits, including ‘Close to You’, ‘Ticket to Ride’, ‘We’ve Only Just Begun’, ‘Superstar’, ‘Rainy Days And Mondays’, ‘Bless the Beasts And the Children’, ‘Hurting Each Other’ and many more. A hidden gem is the track ‘Karen’s Theme’ by Richard Carpenter, who dedicated this song to Karen following her tragic death in 1983.

With their unmistakable, gentle musical style, they became one of the best-selling music groups of all time. During their 14-year career, the Carpenters recorded 11 albums, 31 singles, five television specials and a short-lived television series.
