From their early days as the award-winning Richard Carpenter Trio to the harmony-rich pop of Spectrum, the siblings steadily refined the sound that would soon captivate the world. Their breakthrough came after a homemade demo reached Herb Alpert, leading to a signing with A\u0026amp;M Records in 1969. What followed was an extraordinary run of timeless hits. (They Long to Be) Close to You, We've Only Just Begun, Superstar, Rainy Days And Mondays, Top of the World and Yesterday Once More became defining songs of an era, each shaped by Richard's meticulous arrangements and Karen's warm, unmistakable voice. Next to these iconic songs, there are two solo tracks included, Karen's Still Crazy After All These Years and Karen's Theme by Richard, who dedicated the song to Karen after her tragic passing in 1983. During their 14-year career, The Carpenters recorded 11 albums, 31 singles, five television specials and a short-lived television series. The Carpenters had three No. 1 singles and five No. 2 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, alongside fifteen No. 1 hits on the Adult Contemporary chart. In addition, they had twelve Top 10 singles. To date, the Carpenters' album and single sales total more than 100 million units. Music On Vinyl proudly presents a special coloured edition of the Carpenters Collected album, available as a limited edition of 7,500 individually numbered copies, pressed on crystal clear vinyl and including a four-page booklet with liner notes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack List:\u003cbr\u003e- Disc 1 -\u003cbr\u003e1 Ticket to Ride\u003cbr\u003e2 (They Long to Be) Close to You\u003cbr\u003e3 We've Only Just Begun\u003cbr\u003e4 For All We Know\u003cbr\u003e5 Rainy Days and Mondays\u003cbr\u003e6 Superstar\u003cbr\u003e7 Bless the Beasts and Children\u003cbr\u003e8 Hurting Each Other\u003cbr\u003e9 It's Going to Take Some Time\u003cbr\u003e10 Goodbye to Love\u003cbr\u003e11 Top of the World\u003cbr\u003e12 I Won't Last a Day Without You\u003cbr\u003e13 Sing\u003cbr\u003e14 This Masquerade\u003cbr\u003e- Disc 2 -\u003cbr\u003e1 Yesterday Once More\u003cbr\u003e2 Jambalaya (On the Bayou)\u003cbr\u003e3 Please Mr. Postman\u003cbr\u003e4 Desperado\u003cbr\u003e5 Only Yesterday\u003cbr\u003e6 Solitaire\u003cbr\u003e7 There's a Kind of Hush (All Over the World)\u003cbr\u003e8 I Need to Be in Love\u003cbr\u003e9 Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft (The Recognized Anthem of World Contact Day)\u003cbr\u003e10 Sweet Sweet Smile\u003cbr\u003e11 Touch Me When We're Dancing\u003cbr\u003e12 Still Crazy After All These Years - Karen Carpenter\u003cbr\u003e13 Karen's Theme - Richard Carpenter\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pt-2\"\u003estreet date 7\/17\/2026\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45113080185032,"sku":"602488534994","price":78.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1337\/2616\/files\/4517646-3604800.jpg?v=1781052701","url":"https:\/\/1234gorecords.shop\/en-ca\/products\/pre-order-the-carpenters-collected-2xlp-180g-clear-vinyl","provider":"1-2-3-4 Go!
