Better sounding collection
Essential Collection (1965-1997) album for sale There is a considerable improvement in the sound of the 4 CDs in this collection compared to the ones from its predecessor, From The Top, which contained essentially almost the same materials.

Definitive Collection...
Essential Collection (1965-1997) CD music For the diehard Carpenter fan, there is really not a lot new here that we have not heard before, however, there is great commentary from Richard and a lot of questions are answered.

FROM THE TOP redux...
Essential Collection (1965-1997) songs Die-hard Carpenters fans already have this stuff, in fact we get it about once a year. This particular incarnation of the FROM THE TOP box set however has two "technically" unreleased tracks: the Japanese Hi-Crown Chocolate jingle (which appears on the CLOSE TO YOU: REMEMBERING THE CARPENTERS DVD), and the "Karen/Ella Medley" (from the non-U.S. release AS TIME GOES BY) which was intented to be included the first time this set was released.
