# Audio CD (September 27, 1994)# Original Release Date: 1991# Number of Discs: 4# Format: Box set# Label: A&M
"From the Top" is a 4-CD collection of all the Carpenterstop musical hits and many other little heard rarities. Ifyou are a Carpenters fan (like me!), you already have theirgreatest hits, and perhaps have all or many of their albums.What's great about this set is that it offers more than justthe hits. On the first CD, we are treated to the Carpenter'searliest efforts to break into the music industry. Here wehear a sound quite different from the unique layered vocalsound that came to define Richard Carpenter's arrangementsfor the Carpenters. Karen's young voice does not have themature emotional inflection that characterized her later work.Song by song we hear the distictive Carpenter sound develop.
Disc Two is a collection of all the great Carpenter hits,the songs of their prime. Included on this disc is a trackof Karen singing the song "Sing" in Spanish. Her diction isremarkable considering she did not speak spanish! There isalso a humorous track of outtakes in the making of the"Yesterday Once More" radio medley.
Disc Three has three tracks of TV/radio commercials theCarpenters did in Japan and the United States. I doubt thatanyone in the US has heard the japan commercials. There arealso four tracks taken from their popular Christmas albums.
The final disc has the better cuts from Karen's solo album,and cuts from Made In America. Two gems are found on this disc,these being the Medley of five songs from the TV special"Music, Music, Music, where Karen's rendition and interpretationof "Someday" is simply superb. One can sense the hearkachein her voice as she sings this tender song about a woman whois not ready to make a total committment to her love/lover.The final gen is Karen's "Now", a touching love song about awoman who at long-last finds love. The song is a studio worklead, which was so flawless that Richard later added theorchestration and made it into Karen's final recording.The song was originally released on the "Voice of the Heart" album.
For each disc there is an excellent song by song narrative writtenby Richard Carpenter which gives information about the song,pictures of the Carpenters, and credits. There are numerous colorpictures that supplement the narrative.
