The definitive best album that sums up the Carpenters' early golden age.
The lineup features a wide range of classics that are still loved today, allowing you to fully experience the warmth, kindness, and universal sense of melody that their music possesses.
This compilation is truly definitive, weaving together a collection of classic songs that represent 1970s American pop into a single "story" through Karen's singing voice and Richard's meticulous worldview.
