Carpenters The Singles 1969-1973 (180 Gram Vinyl)

Exactly what it claims to be, this compilation contains 10 of The Carpenters' 12 Top 10 hits, from "Close To You" to "Top Of The World." They continued to make the charts until 1982, but the bulk of their memorable pop hits, the songs that reintroduced soft, melodic music to the masses and rolled back the rock revolution, are here. ~ William Ruhlmann
